How to Ride an Electric Motorcycle Like a Pro

Electric motorcycles Electric motorcycles

Let’s get one thing clear from the start: riding an electric motorcycle is not like riding your old 150cc petrol bike. Not even close. It’s like shifting from a regular phone to a flagship smartphone. Everything is sharper, quicker, and way more intelligent.

And if you’re stepping into the electric world with something as powerful as the F77, you’re not just buying a bike. You’re entering a whole new chapter of riding life. But to ride it like a pro, you need more than just turning the throttle.

You need technique. You need awareness. And most importantly, you need to understand what your machine is trying to tell you.

Let’s talk.

1. Don’t Ride It Like a Petrol Bike. That’s Rookie Mistake #1

Here’s what most people do when they switch to an electric motorcycle: they try to ride it like their old petrol bike. Bad move.

Electric bikes like the F77 give you full torque instantly. Not after some engine rev. You twist that throttle, and boom, you’re flying forward.

That’s why the golden rule is: Throttle control is everything.

Don’t yank it. Roll it gently. Feel the motor respond. A smooth wrist is what separates pros from amateurs.

And remember, there’s no clutch, no gear shifts. That means your right hand becomes your primary weapon. Treat it with respect.

2. Get Comfortable with Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking is not some fancy term to ignore. It’s your new best friend.

Think of it like engine braking in petrol bikes, but smarter. When you slow down or release the throttle, the bike recharges the battery a bit and also slows you down automatically.

Now, on a bike like the Ultraviolette F77, you’ve got 10 levels of regen braking. That’s serious stuff. Want that free coasting feel? Use lower levels. Want it to slow you down aggressively when you release the throttle? Go higher.

Pro tip: Experiment with all 10 levels during short city rides. Figure out what feels natural for you. This one feature alone will massively improve your riding style, especially in traffic.

3. Learn the Riding Modes Like You Know Your Favourite Playlist

This isn’t just marketing fluff. Riding modes matter. The F77 SuperStreet has three:

  • Glide – Your chill mode. Great for relaxed city cruising. Keeps energy usage low.
  • Combat – For when you want punchy acceleration but still balanced performance.
  • Ballistic – This one’s for thrill-seekers. Instant torque, full blast power. Use it when the road opens up and you want to fly.

The trick is knowing when to switch. A real pro doesn’t stay in one mode. He adapts based on traffic, weather, road quality, and how much charge is left.

4. Your Display Isn’t Just Fancy Tech. It’s Your Dashboard to Greatness.

Most people glance at their display just to check speed or battery. That’s like using a smartphone just to make calls.

The 5-inch TFT display on the F77 SuperStreet shows you detailed ride stats, range predictions, regen level, riding mode, traction control level, and more. And here’s the best part-it’s not just showing info. It’s helping you ride better.

Violette AI, Ultraviolette’s in-built smart system, analyses over 3,000 data points per second. That means the bike understands your style and gives you tips. Stuff like:

  • Which regen level suits your style
  • Which mode to switch to for better range
  • Even alerts about battery health, charging habits, etc.

Start checking your display after every ride. Learn from your data. That’s what pros do.

5. Practice Low-Speed Control (This Is Where Most Guys Mess Up)

Speed Control

You might be able to hit 0–60 in 2.8 seconds (yes, that’s how fast the F77 is), but can you balance the bike confidently at crawling speeds?

Slow-speed control is underrated. It’s what separates experienced riders from show-offs.

Try this drill:

  • Go to an empty stretch.
  • Ride at walking speed without using brakes.
  • Balance only with throttle control and body posture.

You’ll start noticing how light the F77 feels once you master this. And in Indian traffic, this skill will save your life.

6. Use the Right Traction Control Settings for the Road

You’ve got three traction modes on the F77: Rain, City, and Track. Each one behaves differently.

  • Rain Mode keeps your wheel from slipping even when roads are wet or oily. Use it during monsoons or when riding on sandy stretches.
  • City Mode is perfect for normal Indian roads. It gives a safe mix of grip and acceleration.
  • Track Mode? That’s your aggressive beast mode. Meant for wide open roads or track use only.

Don’t stick to one blindly. Pros assess the road and adjust the traction control accordingly.

7. Upgrade Your Body Positioning.

    Riding posture is key, especially on performance bikes.

    The F77 has a sporty yet comfortable riding triangle. That means:

    • Keep your elbows slightly bent
    • Grip the tank with your knees
    • Look through the corners, not at them
    • Relax your shoulders

    Body positioning also helps during quick braking or dodging potholes. Practice moving your weight smoothly, lean in with confidence during curves.

    8. Braking Is a Skill, Not Just a Reaction

    With front and rear disc brakes (320 mm front, 230 mm rear) and dual-channel ABS, the F77 gives you fantastic stopping power.

    But don’t just slam the brakes. Here’s what smart riders do:

    • Use both brakes together, 70% front, 30% rear.
    • In emergencies, squeeze progressively, not all at once.
    • On wet roads, brake earlier and lighter.

    Practice emergency braking on empty roads. The F77’s stability systems will back you up, but only if you brake correctly.

    9. Make the Most of Hill Hold Assist and Stability Control

    Ever got stuck on a slope during traffic and rolled backwards? That’s not happening here.

    The F77’s Hill Hold Assist keeps the bike steady on inclines even if you release the brake for a moment. Super useful in Indian flyover jams.

    Also, the Dynamic Stability Control helps prevent unwanted skids during quick turns or on bad roads. These are features most petrol bikes simply don’t offer. Make use of them. Let the bike help you ride smarter.

    10. Don’t Underestimate the Power of the App

      Yes, your bike has an app.

      The Ultraviolette app lets you:

      • Track your ride history
      • Get low battery alerts
      • Find charging stations
      • Change ride modes and regen levels
      • Lock or unlock your bike remotely

      It’s not just fancy tech. It’s your remote garage in your pocket. Real riders use it before and after every ride.

      11. Battery Is King. Treat It Right.

      The 10.3 kWh battery on the F77 SuperStreet is your heart and soul. And you get 323 km of range, but only if you use it smartly.

      Follow these best practices:

      • Don’t charge 0 to 100 daily. Stay between 20% to 80%.
      • Avoid keeping it plugged in overnight every time.
      • Use the Boost Charger wisely for faster charging (20%–80% in 2.5 hours), but not always.

      With 8 years or 8,00,000 km battery warranty, it’s built to last-but your riding habits matter too.

      12. Want to Feel Like a Pro? Ride More, Ride Mindfully

        No article, no video, no tip beats real-world experience. The more you ride, the better you get.

        Try different routes. Ride in the city. Ride at night. Ride early mornings. Feel how the F77 behaves with temperature, traffic, and terrain changes.

        And once a week, ride just for fun. That’s when you start noticing the little details, the smooth torque curve, the suspension comfort, the tyre grip, the way regen braking adjusts when you’re rolling downhill.

        That’s when you stop riding the bike and start connecting with it.

        Ride with Confidence, Ride with Class

        Electric motorcycles aren’t just the future. They’re the present. And if you’re serious about riding one like a true expert, it’s not just about speed or features. It’s about knowing your machine, respecting the road, and enjoying every second of it.

        And if you’re looking for a bike that checks all the boxes, performance, intelligence, style, and street cred, the Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet is where your journey should begin.

        With a 30 kW motor, 100 NM torque, a futuristic Violette AI system, and cutting-edge safety like traction control, regen braking, and dual-channel ABS, this isn’t just an electric motorcycle.

        It’s a rider’s dream.

        So whether you’re upgrading from a petrol machine or entering the biking scene for the first time, ride smart, ride smooth, and most importantly, ride electric.

        Because once you taste the instant thrill of the F77, there’s no going back.
