Electric motorbike from Ultraviolette boasts a price tag of $1,700, generating an impressive torque of 370FT-LBs as a dual-sport bike.
The Ultraviolette Shockwave, an electric dual-sport motorcycle, is making waves in India with its impressive specifications and affordable price point. This electric off-road motorcycle, produced by the Indian brand Ultraviolette, is setting new standards for electric motorcycles in the country.
The Shockwave boasts a max torque of 372.5FT-LBs and a max horsepower of 14.5HP, making it a formidable force on the trails. Weighing 265.5lbs, the Shockwave is similar in weight to an average 450 MX bike, ensuring a balanced and agile ride.
The Shockwave's suspension includes a 37mm cartridge-style fork and a rear mono-shock, offering 7.87" and 7.08" of travel respectively. It also features fork guards, a front disc guard, and a skid plate for added protection on rough terrain. The Shockwave is equipped with a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, both fitted with knobbies for optimal grip.
The Shockwave's braking system is equally impressive, with a front axial-mounted dual-pot caliper and a rear floating single-piston caliper. It also comes with switchable dual-channel ABS and six levels of dynamic regenerative braking for precise control.
The Shockwave's modern, futuristic design is as striking as its performance. It features a sleek MX-style tail, low-profile tank, and Dakar-esque navigation tower and beak. The Shockwave is further adorned with stacked dual projector LED headlights, adding to its visual appeal.
The Shockwave's electric nature eliminates the need for a clutch or shifting and reduces maintenance requirements, making it a practical choice for riders. However, it's important to note that the Shockwave is not yet available for order, but interested parties can register their interest on the company's site.
The Shockwave's price point could make off-road and dual-sport riding more accessible to a larger group of people. As of now, the Shockwave has an introductory price of ₹1.50 lakh (approximately $1,800 USD) in India. However, the Shockwave's availability outside India has not been officially announced yet.
Ultraviolette's international presence primarily features their other electric motorcycles, the F77 SuperStreet and Mach 2, which are available for pre-booking in multiple European countries. The F77 SuperStreet is priced at around €8,990 (about ₹8.95 lakh or $9,900 USD), increasing to €9,990 post-pre-booking, while the Mach 2 starts at €9,290 (≈₹9.25 lakh) and rises to €10,390 after pre-booking ends.
In conclusion, the Ultraviolette Shockwave is an exciting new addition to the electric motorcycle scene in India. With its impressive performance, modern design, and affordable price, it's no wonder that it has garnered over 70,000 paid bookings in the country. While the Shockwave's availability outside India has yet to be announced, it's clear that Ultraviolette is making a significant impact in the electric motorcycle market.
