Well, well well…. every biker has a thing for engine roar!
That throaty rumble of a petrol engine, that vibe when you rev at a signal, that deep sound that makes heads turn. It’s a part of riding culture.
But here’s the twist. In 2025, things are changing fast. And this time, silence is winning.
Electric motorcycles don’t make noise. But they’re making all the noise in the performance game. No fuel, no clutch, no gear shifts, just instant torque and crazy acceleration the moment you twist the throttle.
So the big question: Can instant torque really beat the old-school engine roar in terms of performance?
Let’s break it down, feature by feature, feel by feel.
1. First, What Is Instant Torque Anyway?

Let’s keep it simple.
Torque is the pulling power of a vehicle. It’s the force that pushes you forward when you accelerate. The more torque you get, and the faster you get it, the quicker your bike moves.
Now in petrol bikes, the engine needs to build up RPM (revolutions per minute) to deliver torque. That’s why you feel that gradual power rise when you twist the throttle. There’s a sweet spot in the mid-RPMs when the bike really comes alive.
But in electric bikes?
You get maximum torque right from zero RPM.
Yes, the moment you twist, the motor gives you full power. No delay. No build-up. Just whoosh.
That’s what “instant torque” means. And trust me, it’s addictive.
2. Why Engine Roar Is More About Drama, Not Speed
We all love the sound of petrol engines. From Royal Enfields to Ninjas, that roar gives you a rush. But here’s the thing, sound doesn’t mean speed.
In fact, many times the engine sound gives you a false sense of acceleration. You feel like you’re going fast because it’s loud, not because you’re actually gaining speed quickly.
Electric motorcycles don’t make that drama. But what they do make is real speed.
For example, the Ultraviolette F77 MACH 2 can go from 0 to 60 kmph in just 2.8 seconds. That’s faster than most 300–400cc petrol bikes in India. And it does this silently.
So when it comes to performance, silence wins.
3. No Gears, No Delay: Just Pure Acceleration

Let’s talk about gears.
On a petrol bike, acceleration depends on how well you shift. Miss a gear? You lose time. Downshift too late? You lose torque. And in traffic, constant shifting gets tiring.
Electric bikes like the F77 don’t have this problem.
There’s no gearbox.
Just one twist and the motor gives you direct, uninterrupted power. This is called direct drive, and it’s like having the perfect gear at all times.
No lag. No mis-shifts. Just clean, smooth acceleration.
Especially in Indian traffic, this is a game-changer.
4. City Riding: Why EVs Feel Way Faster in Real Life
Most people think performance is all about top speed. But in real-world riding, especially in Indian cities, acceleration matters way more than speed.
Why?
- You’re always stopping at signals
- You need to overtake rickshaws and scooters
- Roads are short, crowded, and full of surprises
So what you need is a bike that reacts instantly. And that’s where instant torque wins.
The F77 feels like a spaceship in the city. You don’t wait for power. You are the power.
Range Anxiety? Not a Problem Anymore

Now some of you might say, “But petrol bikes go further, no?”
True, petrol stations are everywhere. But with smart battery tech, that gap is closing fast.
The F77 MACH 2 offers a real-world range of up to 200–250 km per charge, depending on how you ride. That’s more than enough for your daily office runs or weekend joyrides.
And with fast chargers, you can get 80% charge in under an hour.
Plus, you can charge at home. No more detours to fill fuel.
So while petrol still has some advantage in long-distance touring, for daily use? EVs win.
6. Handling and Ride Feel: It’s Not Just Fast, It’s Balanced
Electric bikes have one more advantage, perfect weight distribution.
In petrol bikes, the engine sits up front and the fuel tank shifts weight as it empties.
But in electric bikes like the F77, the battery sits low and central, giving you a balanced ride throughout. This means:
- Smoother cornering
- Better grip and confidence
- No wobbling at high speeds
Also, with features like dual-channel ABS, traction control, and dynamic stability control, the F77 gives you superbike-level safety, without needing you to be a pro rider.
7. Regenerative Braking: EV’s Hidden Superpower

Here’s something petrol bikes just can’t do, regen braking.
In the F77, every time you ease off the throttle, the motor slows the bike and charges the battery at the same time.
It feels like engine braking but smoother. And you can even adjust how strong it is.
This:
- Saves battery
- Reduces brake pad wear
- Makes downhill riding much more controlled
And honestly, once you get used to it, you won’t want to ride without it.
8. Maintenance: Petrol Is Drama, Electric Is Peace
Petrol engines have a lot of moving parts, clutch, gearbox, valves, filters, spark plugs, chain oiling. So regular service is a must.
EV motors? They’re almost maintenance-free.
There’s no oil change. No clutch. No spark plug. The brake pads and tyres are pretty much all you’ll need to check regularly.
Also, with software updates and diagnostics built in, your F77 can actually tell you if something’s wrong before it becomes a problem.
Owning an EV is like having a bike that takes care of itself.
The Lifestyle Upgrade: Smart, Clean, Modern

Let’s step back and talk style.
The F77 isn’t just a machine, it’s a lifestyle statement.
It’s for the guy who’s ahead of the curve. Who wants cutting-edge tech but doesn’t want to scream for attention.
The design is jet-inspired, with colours like Turbo Red and Afterburner Yellow that look straight out of a sci-fi movie.
The dash is a 5-inch TFT display, fully digital, with modes like Glide, Combat, and Ballistic. There’s also Bluetooth, GPS, LTE connectivity, and even a crash alert system.
This is what biking in 2025 looks like.
10. And Yes, It’s Still Fun
A lot of people think electric bikes are serious, clinical, too quiet.
But if you’ve ever ridden an F77, you know, it’s ridiculously fun.
The way it throws you forward. The way it hugs the corners. The feeling of being in full control with zero noise. It’s like flying low on the road.
And honestly? The silence makes you hear the wind, the road, the real experience.
So, Who’s Winning This Race?
Let’s settle it.
| Feature | Petrol Bikes | Electric Bikes |
| Acceleration | Slower build-up | Instant |
| Noise | Loud, dramatic | Silent, stealthy |
| Maintenance | Frequent and expensive | Low and rare |
| Charging/Fuel | Needs stations | Home charging possible |
| Smart Tech | Basic | Fully connected |
| Ride Feel | Good, but engine-heavy | Balanced and smooth |
| Braking | Manual only | Regenerative + disc |
| Environment | Pollutes | Clean |
In every category that actually matters, electric wins. And most importantly, it’s more future-ready.
