Love it! (Especially in Black)

Not a fan of the way they are advertising the torque figure (but "at the rear wheel")

Have been seeing Surron videos on Youtube for ages, and have always dreamed of something like this for Goa. More my style than an Ather or Ola!

(Also if you compare Surron prices ~$4000 to this, it seems like a great deal!)

I'm seeing it as more of an "electric Xpulse".

Took me quite a while to realise the "Too Stoked" tagline was a play on "2-stroke". Pointing it out for the other slow-pokes.

Thanks to this post of yours popping up on my Discover feed, I decided to just pre-book as well. (Plus, apart from earlier allocation, 1k now for a 25k discount seems like a great deal).

I think this is going to be the "Compact SUV" of Enduro bikes.... which would be a smart move on the part of Ultraviolette.

It will probably look like a bit of a toy next to a real dirt bike. Like parking an Jimny next to a Fortuner.

Wow! Thanks for the pics... the prototype looks very promising.

I have this fear every time I ride a scooter (since I ride a motorbike 99% of the time)... but it's never caused an issue.

Also being electric, you wont have the same ques prompting you to upshift (ie. exhaust note & engine noise/vibration) -- so I think we'll be okay!

What's the correct term for that, and what does it do? Protect the disc from small stones jamming it up?

Hmm... it's another thing that seems questionable in pictures, but I don't think it would be a noticeable issue in the real world. I mean, people spend hours on bicycle seats.

What took me by pleasant surprise was the fact that there is a version which is pillion friendly! (Note the additional foot pegs too):

Awesome! That's good to hear.

Since I was very concerned about seat-height too (being 5'9" and having some Xpulse Rally/Pro trauma ) I ran through a similar exercise.

Points to note:
- Downloaded the max-res version image from the UV website source, just to be as accurate as possible
- I cross-checked optically measured 17/19" wheel sizes against each other to ensure accuracy (result... somehow not very accurate, but whatever)
- I rotated the bike, rather than simply subtracting the paddock-stand height (splitting hairs - but technically the seat is in the middle of a lever with the front wheel as the fulcrum)
- I measured the seat at 2 points: The lowest point and the realistic point (I guess bike seats are usually measured at the highest point? But not sure for these banana seats!)









Seems doable!

I didn't think it was functional; still don't. I just presumed that it was purely a design choice, and simply described it as 'duck foot' as it looks like one. I don't know what these are, if these are something.

Could be due to the focal length of the lens (POV).

Just came back from viewing the bike in close quarters. Looks actually very nice and will be super fun to ride inside city and squidding through the traffic. And this will be a solid fun college kid bike and it looks very good.

Looks like a slightly shrunk version of XPulse. Doest look tall at all and looks shorter than the xpulse.

The wheel base looks very much in proportion and overall quality looks good for 1.75l bike.

The early bird offers are closed and hence whoever missed it will definitely regret as this is a nice bike to have in the garage instead of a scooter for city fun.

I hate EV's and I still wont mind buying this shockwave over the scooter in display.

Few observations

- Head lights are similar to mad dogs
- Both side of handle bars come with lever and it atleast gives a feeling of normal bike
- Quality doesn't seem compromised but most parts are plastic or plastic feeling fiber
- Finish is good
- Single rear suspension looks a bit longer but just from a distance and may be sufficient for throwing it around
- Phone like display unit


What would I like is a removable battery and a battery pack which will make this perfect bike to even ride to a trail and bring it back home

Few pictures.

Thanks for the pictures, VW2010.

I'm going back to my 750mm guesstimate for the seat height.

In the earlier pictures from Neil, the first and last one in particular, the bike appeared fairly short but there wasn't any context. So, I just leaned on the good old fashioned eyeballing. But in the first pic of yours, there is a seemingly fairly tall person standing there. Even assuming a 2m height for him, I don't think the bike that's on paddocks on top of a raised platform, is over 800mm.

Based on my perception it may be shorter than Duke 390 or similar to it. Hence I felt it's a slightly shrunk XPulse. I am 183cms and I felt the bike was similar to the RX 100 in form factor. Lean and easy to move between space.

It has a very wide handle bars and this will be a proper fun bike in my perception.

I miss not booking it now but I am also confident to get one in olx soon after release.

Fairly sure it would be for keeping small stones from jamming up the disc... however, it could also just be emulating that function - with the primary purpose being aesthetics.

Perfect comparison! That's what I am expecting as well.

[PreludeSH]

Gives me the vibe of BSA SLR bicycle from 80s and 90s. A light, nimble cycle you could control to go on any terrain

Have booked one. Only issue is, do we have to go to Domlur to see this in person ? Dont they have any other showrooms where these are displayed ? Are those tubed tyres ?

Could be an early prototype but this frame weld caught my eye. It looks quite wayward and poorly finished. Even the plastics look a bit off compared to their more expensive models.

There are similar spec’d motorcycles elsewhere in the world. Focus is again on city commutes and short trail riding.

Ultraviolette Shockwave e-bike design patent filed

Earlier this year, Bangalore-based EV maker Ultraviolette launched the Shockwave electric enduro bike in the Indian market. The production version of the e-bike has now been revealed through a design patent.



There are a few notable changes worth pointing out on the production version. It has a conventional telescopic front fork, unlike the pre-production model, which had fork covers. It does not have the brake lever protectors either.

That being said, the bike seen in this image could be one of the variants. The lack of a headlamp, taillight, and turn indicators suggests that this could be a track-only version of the Shockwave.

Powering the Shockwave is a 14.5 BHP electric motor, which has a peak torque output of 505 Nm. It can sprint from 0-60 km/h in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 120 km/h. The 4 kWh battery pack gives it a range of 165 km on a single charge.

The Ultraviolette Shockwave is priced at Rs 1.75 lakh (ex-showroom).
