About Ultraviolette F77 

Ultraviolette is the India-based motorbike manufacturer name that rhymes with Lamborghini and Scania, a bright star above the crowd. Their first model, the F77, debuts a combination of well-proven technology in a workable mix of space/weight optimizing components into a well-balanced unit. 

The prominent feature is the design, which supports this bike’s overall mass.

With the Bengaluru-based startup Ultraviolette’s debutant F77 electric bike having presented to the public at their office in the Autumn of 2019, people were getting pretty excited.

This excitement was well-founded, given how the company has already presented a prototype of their high-performance electric bike and set a delivery date for October 2020. 

That’s right — Ultraviolette was supposed to deliver its first batch of bikes in 2020. However, this batch was delayed to Covid.

The F77 has been a flagship model for the company since its inception. The F77 took more couple of years to be developed and designed. We assume several iterations were based on customer feedback, including multiple from the overall design, to avoid risks and improve serviceability.

Why Ultraviolette F77?

Electric Motor

It might not be the fastest electric motorcycle out there, but the F77 is still a force to be reckoned with. With a peak power output of 25 kW, our test bike achieved a top speed of 145 km/h in the independent tests – above the average for bikes in its category. It is achieved thanks to a silent 25 kW electric motor that pushes 90 Nm through the rear wheel, allowing it to accelerate from 0-60kmph in 2.9 seconds effortlessly. 

Battery

The F77 features three removable packs containing 2.5 kWh lithium batteries, giving a range of 150 km on one charge. The battery is the modular component which can quickly recharge at home or work via a conventional wall socket – no public charging stations needed! The top speed of the F77 is 147 km/h, and it is now on sale in India.

The Revolt RV400 battery has a rating of 3.24kWh and charges 100% full charge in 4.5 hours. However, the Ultraviolette F77 does have a rapid charge feature which sets 80% battery in 50 mins.

Brakes

The bike gets mandatory Switchable dual-channel ABS supported by 320 mm front disc brakes with a four-piston calliper and 230mm rear disc brakes. The F77 also has a TFT console with a data-logging feature, Bluetooth connectivity, OTA updates and a bike locator.

Most motorcycles and scooters use the same or similar engine, wheel, brakes and tire specifications. With this, performance is considerably dependent on the rider. 

Mobile app

The Ultraviolette F77 provides a more immersive, exciting and engaging experience for riders at all levels through an enticing mobile application with over-the-air updates, remote diagnostics, a bike locator and ride analysis features.

Suspension

The bike gets an inverted cartridge-type front fork and a gas-charged preload adjustable rear shock absorber with a steel trellis frame.

Motorcycle manufacturers are focused on producing stylish motorbikes that can also use for in-city transportation. It is where the Revolt RV400 and the Ultraviolette F77 come in. These bikes have numerous features for people looking for a reliable commuter. 

Design

The motorcycles offer leaner and longer bodies, allowing the rider to comfortably cover more distance while riding. However, F77 is a little ahead compared to the design and looks compared to Revolt RV400.

Shades/Colors

The F77 arrives in three shades Lightning, Shadow, and Laser.

Launch

The future of motorcycles is electric; in our country, that future comes early. Ultraviolette is planning to launch the F77 in India in 2022. The bike will be powered by a 25kW electric motor engine with 90Nm torque.

Competitors

Ultraviolette F77 e-bikes are a natural rival in the electric segment. With this new bike, Ultraviolette adds a beautiful and sturdily built to the catalogue that has already distinguished itself through a few models of the high-end present in this segment. However, it’s a close competitor to RV400.

Price

The Ultraviolette F77 price starts at 3 Lakhs. There is only one variant, and this top variant of the F77 is priced at ₹ 3 Lakhs (ex-showroom) in India.

Behaviour/Review

This Ultraviolette F77 is a bike that looks stylish, sexy and hot. You can ride this bike on both tarmac roads and uneven surfaces without a doubt. The footrest would allow you to fix your feet at the right height and enable the drive without any issues. The seat has also been designed intelligently with minimal thickness but ample support to facilitate an easy ride.

Many touring bikes are bulky and heavy, but the Ultraviolette F77 is not and has 158 kg. The feature-rich motorcycle has all the modern electronics available in a cutting-edge, stylish design to create an eco-friendly, performance-focused e-bike.

Bikes are far from ideal from an environmental perspective, and Indian cities suffer a massive problem from polluting two-wheelers. But the F77 is an exception: it’s an electric bike with a motor of just 25 kW (33 horsepower).
