Bengaluru-based EV startup Ultraviolette on Thursday launched the much-awaited F77 electric motorcycle in India, more than three years after it was first unveiled.
The Ultraviolette F77 has a top speed of 150kmph and offers a range of 307km on a single charge for its top-end variant.
The electric bike is priced at an ex-showroom price of Rs 3.8 lakh.
The Ultraviolette F77 is locally designed and engineered, and the bike will be introduced in a phased manner, starting with Bengaluru. It will subsequently enter the US and Europe as well.
The electric bike is available in three forms: Airstrike, Shadow, and Laser.

It is powered by an integrated 10.3 kWh Lithium-ion battery architecture on the top variant, the F77 Recon, that produces a staggering 95 Nm of peak torque and 29 kW (38.9 HP) of peak power.
The pre-bookings for the electric motorcycle started on October 23, 2022. The company last month claimed that the F77 had received more than 70,000 pre-bookings from 190 countries.
Initially showcased in November 2019, the company’s plans to launch the electric bike were delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company said the battery architecture and battery management system of the electric motorcycle have been designed and developed in-house by Ultraviolette.

The F77 has 2.5X higher battery capacity than existing electric two-wheelers in India, according to the company.
Ultraviolette also announced a limited edition series of the F77 and only 77 units will be manufactured.
