Checked out the Ultraviolette Shockwave: Nice bike for the city fun

The electric bike looks like a slightly smaller version of the Hero Xpulse.

BHPian VW2010 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Just came back from viewing the bike in close quarters. Looks actually very nice and will be super fun to ride inside the city and squid 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. It doesn't look tall at all and looks shorter than the Xpulse.

The wheelbase looks very much in proportion and overall quality looks good for a 1.75L bike.

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

Few observations

  1. Headlight is similar to Mad Dogs
  2. Both sides of the handlebar come with a lever and it at least gives a feeling of a normal bike
  3. Quality doesn't seem compromised but most parts are plastic or plastic-feeling fiber
  4. Finish is good
  5. Single rear suspension looks a bit longer but just from a distance and may be sufficient for throwing it around
  6. Phone-like display unit

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

Few pictures.

Quick Look at Ultraviolette Shockwave prototype at the Cochin showroom

While the Tesseract scooter garnered a high number of walk-ins who were potential customers, the Shockwave only attracted the people who were there to take Instagram pictures / videos.

BHPian neil.jericho recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

The Ultraviolette Shockwave is also on display at the Cochin dealership. While the Tesseract scooter garnered a high number of walk-ins who were potential customers, the Shockwave only attracted the people who were there to take Instagram pictures / videos.

A few things stood out about the prototype
- It is really slim and promises to be a hoot to ride.
- For a prototype, the fit and finish is quite good.
- The rear brake isnt operated with your right foot. It is your left hand which will be responsible for rear braking. It will take a lot of unlearning to get used to it / remember that there is no clutch (the consequences could be ahem painful).
- I see RCB parts and I can only sigh! I hope Ultraviolette gets more reliable components for the Shockwave.
- The tires are from Reise.
- The bike was running Domino grips.
- The sales person said that we aren't allowed to sit on the bike to check the ergonomics.
- Overall, this prototype makes a pretty good first impression.
