It will do 0-60kmph in 3 seconds flat and still give you real-world range figures in excess of 100km
- Expect performance to be on par with a petrol-powered 250cc motorcycle.
- Teaser silhouette reveals sharp cuts and aggressive styling.
- Could be priced at Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom).
After sending us a tasty teaser of its upcoming motorcycle, the F77, a month ago, Ultraviolette is ready to launch the performance electric motorcycle tomorrow. The F77 boasts of some incredible performance stats, which are a cut above the only other electric motorcycles currently available in India — the Revolt RV400 and RV300. Logically, the pricing would also be on the steeper side when compared to the Revolt motorcycles at Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom).
The F77 has a large 25kW motor which helps it accelerate from 0-60kmph in 3 seconds. This claimed figure corresponds to the performance we have come to expect from 250cc motorcycles like the Suzuki Gixxer 250 or the KTM 250 Duke. The motor is housed inside a tubular steel trellis frame with a sharp steering geometry.
Ultraviolette claims its battery-pack has the best-in-class energy-density. While the company hasn't disclosed official specs, we expect the motorcycle to have a range of around 150km. Stay tuned for more details on this new electric motorcycle tomorrow.
