Ultraviolette F77 e-bike to offer a range of 307 km

Customers will be able to pre-book the F77 from October 23 by paying a token amount of Rs. 10,000.

Ultraviolette showcased the production-spec F77 electric motorcycle during its first 'Battery Day' event, held at its production facility in Bangalore. The company also announced that pre-bookings will open on October 23, while the official launch will be held on November 24.

During the event, Ultraviolette revealed the Gen2 F77. The bike was presented without the fairing, revealing the bike’s new frame, swingarm and newly-developed battery, which is now a 10.5 kWh unit that is claimed to offer a range of 307 km (Indian Driving Cycle) on a single charge.

The Bangalore-based start-up claims to have made multiple upgrades to the battery architecture since the bike was first unveiled in 2019. Unlike the Gen1 battery pack, the new unit is fixed and gets an aluminium casing. It weighs 50 kg.

The Ultraviolette F77 is said to have gone through a rigorous test regime. The company also claims to have put the battery through accelerated ageing and thermal stress testing. It aims to deliver the first bikes by the end of this year.
