If owning an electric motorcycle is serious for you, especially a high-performance model like the Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet Recon, you know that off-season attention is not optional. You have to take care of the bike’s battery, motor system, and other components during long periods of not riding it.

Why Off-Season Care is Important

Always clean your electric motorcycle before putting it away for storage. Wash all dirt, mud, and grime off it. It helps reduce the risk of corrosion and rust forming on the motorcycle’s disc brakes and suspension joints.

Don’t store your EV with a fully charged or completely drained battery. For bikes like the SuperStreet Recon with a 10.3 kWh battery, aim for 50% to 70% charge and top it up every few weeks if needed.

Keep the Battery at the Right Level

Avoid overcharging by using a smart or trickle charger, especially if your off-season extends beyond a month. The Ultraviolette's BMS (Battery Management System) already has a 5-level safety system, but staying alert adds extra protection.

Use a Smart Charger When Needed

Electric bikes don't like extreme heat or cold. Store your motorcycle in a cool, dry place, preferably indoors. Temperatures between 10°C to 30°C are ideal to protect the battery and electronics.

Use a breathable, waterproof motorcycle cover. Avoid plastic sheets, they trap moisture. Look for covers that offer UV protection too, especially if you live in a sunny Indian city.

Over time, tyres can develop flat spots. To avoid this, put your bike on paddock stands or at least roll it back and forth every few days. This tip is especially useful for performance bikes like the F77 with grippy 17" radial tyres.

Inspect your disc brakes before storage. The F77 uses a 320 mm front and 230 mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS, clean them with a soft cloth to prevent rust or sticking.

Check Brake Pads and Discs

Use the Ultraviolette app to monitor battery levels and alerts remotely. Features like low-battery notifications, calls, and messages can still be accessed while your bike is at rest.

Rodents can chew on wires, which could be expensive to repair. Keep mothballs or natural repellents around the parking space. Make sure the control centre and wiring are rodent-safe.
