Picture this.

You’re cruising through the streets of Bengaluru on a sleek, almost spaceship-like bike. It doesn’t make the usual vroom-vroom. Instead, there’s this smooth electric hum that turns heads. People look, not just because it’s fast, but because it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

That’s Ultraviolette for you.

And if you’ve been hearing this name more often lately, it’s not just hype. It’s happening. Quietly, steadily, and very stylishly, Ultraviolette is grabbing a serious chunk of the Indian electric motorcycle market, and they’re not stopping here.

Let’s break down how this homegrown brand is expanding its reach, what’s behind their growth, and why even international riders are now watching them closely.

The Rise of a Desi Powerhouse

Let’s rewind a bit.

Ultraviolette Automotive started as a dream. Two friends from Bengaluru, Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan, looked at India’s traffic, pollution, and love for speed, and thought, “Can we make something electric… but exciting?”

And just like that, in 2016, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

While most companies were launching simple, no-frills electric scooters, Ultraviolette went all-in with the F77, India’s first electric sportbike. It looked sharp, rode fast, and had all the cool tech bits you could think of.

In a market flooded with either fuel-guzzlers or slow electric scooters, the F77 came in like a breath of fresh air… or should we say, a bolt of clean power?

Numbers Don’t Lie: Ultraviolette is Growing, Fast

You know what’s cooler than building a fast electric bike?

Selling it across the country, and soon, across the world.

Ultraviolette has already expanded its presence from just Bengaluru to more than 12 major cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad. And they’re not slowing down.

By March 2025, the brand aims to set up experience zones in 30 Indian cities. That means more people get to test ride, feel the bike, and join the movement.

And get this, while most Indian EV brands are still busy figuring out battery range and cost, Ultraviolette is planning global domination. Europe, get ready. The F77 Mach 2 has already received certifications to enter countries like Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.

For a brand that’s barely a decade old, that’s massive.

Let’s Talk Bikes: What’s So Special About the F77?

Okay, now let’s get a bit nerdy, but in a cool way.

The F77 is not your typical electric two-wheeler. It’s got a futuristic design that makes it look like a stealth aircraft on two wheels. And under that sexy body? Power. Pure, silent, clean power.

The newest version, F77 Mach 2, comes in two variants, the standard and the Recon.

• Top speed? Up to 155 km/h. That’s proper sportbike territory.
• Range? Up to 323 km on a single charge.
• Acceleration? 0 to 60 km/h in just under 3 seconds.

Plus, it’s got stuff you’d expect only in high-end international bikes. Things like:

• 10 levels of regenerative braking
• Ride-by-wire throttle
• Dynamic stability control
• Multiple ride modes (Glide, Combat, Ballistic, yes, really)
• Smart display with connected features

Basically, this bike isn’t just for people who want to “go electric.” It’s for those who want to ride something futuristic without sacrificing thrill.

Market Share Isn’t Just About Sales-It’s About Loyalty

So why is Ultraviolette gaining ground so fast? It’s not just the bike specs.

Here’s the secret: experience.

From the test ride to the delivery, and from service to upgrades, the brand has nailed the premium lifestyle feel. You’re not just buying a bike. You’re entering a new kind of motorcycling club, one that’s tech-first, clean-energy conscious, and seriously stylish.

And that’s working. The brand has been seeing repeat interest from young professionals, college students, and even mid-life executives who want to shift from fuel to future. That’s rare in India’s auto market, which is traditionally very price-sensitive.

Why Ultraviolette Feels Like the Apple of Electric Bikes

Let’s be honest. Some brands just get it.

They don’t just make a product. They make a vibe.

Think of what Apple did with the iPhone. It wasn’t the only phone with apps, but it packaged everything so perfectly, you just had to have it.

Ultraviolette is doing the same with electric bikes.

From the matte finishes and sharp lights to the digital dashboard and cloud-connected ride stats, everything screams premium. Even the Ultraviolette merchandise, jackets, gloves, helmets, feels like it belongs in a MotoGP paddock.

And when people love a brand like that, they don’t just buy once. They become brand ambassadors. They tell their friends. They bring in more riders.

That’s how market share quietly grows, not just by price tags, but by loyalty.

Scooters, Fast Charging, and What’s Next

Now here’s the juicy bit.

Ultraviolette isn’t stopping at bikes. They’ve recently teased a premium electric scooter, called the Tesseract, that’s all set to compete with Ather, TVS iQube, and even Ola.

And it’s not just going to be “one more scooter.” Rumours say it’ll hit 125 km/h top speed, have a 167 km range, and pack features like wireless charging, blind spot alerts, and even in-built dashcams.
Yes, a scooter with dashcams.

Oh, and they’re building their own fast-charging network too, Ultraviolette Supernova, which is being positioned as India’s fastest two-wheeler charging infrastructure.

So while others are still figuring out dealership models, Ultraviolette is setting up a whole ecosystem.

Smart.

Global Dreams, Local Heart

One of the best things about Ultraviolette is that even though it’s planning to go global, it’s still proudly Indian.

The bikes are made here. The tech is built here. And the mindset is Indian at heart, bold, street-smart, and ambitious.

In fact, when international motorcycle magazines started covering the F77’s European launch, they weren’t just impressed. They were shocked. Many didn’t expect a startup from India to be this advanced.

But that’s the thing about underdogs, they surprise you.

Okay, But Can It Actually Compete with Petrol Bikes?

Let’s address the elephant in the garage.

A lot of people still think electric bikes are for short rides, city commutes, or people who don’t like speed. That may be true for some brands.

But not Ultraviolette.

Here’s why:

• The F77 Mach 2 Recon offers better acceleration than many 300cc bikes.
• The battery lasts up to 10 years with proper care.
• You save money on petrol, servicing, and maintenance.
• And let’s not forget, no gear shifting, no engine noise, and zero pollution.

In every way that matters, Ultraviolette is not just matching, it’s beating, traditional sportbikes.

Why Should You Care?

Because this is more than just a bike story.It’s about how Indian innovation is stepping up and changing the game. It’s about how you, as a rider, can be part of that shift. And it’s about owning something that’s both a head-turner and a conversation starter.

So whether you’re a bike lover, a clean-energy supporter, or just someone looking for a solid investment in personal mobility, Ultraviolette deserves your attention.

Ride the Change

India has always been a country of riders. From Royal Enfields to KTMs, we love our machines. But now, there’s a smarter, sharper, cleaner way to ride, and it’s called Ultraviolette.

It’s bold, it’s beautiful, and it’s breaking all the rules.

So if you’re someone who wants more from their ride, not just in terms of speed, but also in design, purpose, and future-readiness, it’s time to check out what Ultraviolette is offering.

Visit their official website. Book a test ride. Or simply walk into one of their experience centres and see the future for yourself.

Because honestly, petrol smells like the past. And the future? It rides electric.
