Are impressive performance claims enough to keep you holding on to your booking for another six months though?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) took almost five years and 3 movies before introducing its deadliest protagonist yet: Thanos. But once the Mad Titan went about fulfilling his ‘destiny’ of restoring order to the world by finding the Infinity Stones, he got his Tesseract almost in no time, destroying Thor’s ship full of Asgardians. This is so unlike the story for you, the eagerly awaiting buyers for the Ultraviolette Tesseract. The company is going to make you wait until January 2027 for you to finally bring yours home.

Yes, the delay has been extended to another year, making it almost two years since the company first showed the scooter. And the reason that the company is citing now are:

Design Optimisation

Post the Fast Forward showcase, Ultraviolette claims to have taken the scooter to 30 cities across India to gauge the feedback from audiences. This process helped it understand where the design and, in turn, the ergonomics of the Tesseract could be improved. For instance, the floorspace was lacking initially, making it quite cramped for lots of riders. Hence, that area had to be lengthened.

Furthermore, the floor width was an issue. The following constraints had forced Ultraviolette to design the floor in that manner:

Battery pack located under the floor
Seat height had to be between 760mm and 780mm
Underseat storage had to be 30-litres

Hence, by narrowing the floor space and still managing to hit the above criteria took some challenge. Even though finding the trick for this problem took some time, what was a lot more challenging was to make sure the performance claims were met in a safe and reliable manner.

Designing A 100V Architecture

Pushing out a maximum of 15kW peak power by using a 4kWh battery pack was the ultimate aim. Ultraviolette claims that to design an electrical powertrain capable of handling this in a robust and reliable manner took nearly six months to achieve. The way the brand has gone about engineering this is rather than pushing out more current, the voltage has been increased dramatically.

Sounds simple but not as easy to create. For instance, the Ultraviolette’s F77 sport bike produces phenomenal performance and yet has a 60V battery architecture. Most e-scooters have similar 50-60V architecture. And the Tesseract had to be ramped up to a 100V architecture just so that the performance claims are matched up.

Not only that but also different thermal management methods were adopted so that minimum losses were achieved for a consistent period. Considering the battery is being asked to push out a lot more than the current crop of performance electric scooters, such rethinking was key.

As a result, the Tesseract was able to pull off this:

Futureproofing And Comfortable

By solving the battery problem, the Ultraviolette engineers were able to achieve solutions that should benefit future models and generational updates of its existing products. The BMS modules have shrunk in size over the years, which is key for packing in such a tight scooter. Making sure that despite running on chunky 14-inch wheels, the Tesseract was comfortable for all riders, that took another round of suspension fine tuning.

Ultraviolette has said that it will honour the attractive prices for those who booked their Tesseracts during the initial special period offer. Considering that the company has received 70,000 bookings, of which 50,000 bookings were during the initial period, it will be interesting to see how many of these are willing to wait it out.

ZigSays

While it is absolutely necessary that Ultraviolette took its time to get the Tesseract ready for launch, the constant delays have not been helpful. If the company had been a bit more realistic, especially considering the amount of work that had to be done, the buyer sentiment would have been more positive. This delay is something that further dampens spirits. So, while the Tesseract might just turn out to be the most advanced scooter in the market, we are not sure whether buyers would want to wait around for another 6-7 months to get their hands on one.
