Ultraviolette has introduced its new electric vehicles (EVs) in India with the debut of Tesseract, an electric scooter and another electric motorcycle, Shockwave.

The company has forayed into the country's electric scooter market, taking on the likes of Ather Energy and Ola Electric. The electric scooter comes with a dynamic regen system that is said to optimise energy consumption. Equipped with a 6kWh battery pack, Ultraviolette says it delivers an Indian Drive Cycle (IDC) claimed range of up to 261 kilometres from one charge.

Alongside, the company also expanded its portfolio of electric bikes with the launch of the Ultraviolette Shockwave, which is an enduro bike having a 0-60 kilometres per hour (kmph) acceleration time of 2.9 seconds.

Ultraviolette Tesseract has been launched in India at an introductory price of INR 1.2 lakh for the base variant equipped with the 3.5kWh battery pack. The company emphasises that this pricing will be valid for the first 10,000 customers, following which it will be raised to INR 1.3 lakh for the next 50,000 customers. Its final price is set at INR 1.45 lakh.

The EV is offered in four colourways — Sunburst Sand, Stealth Black, Sonic Pink, and Solar White. Its pre-bookings have already commenced on the brand website for INR 999.

Meanwhile, the Ultraviolette Shockwave is launched at an introductory price of INR 1.49 lakh for the initial 1,000 customers, while its standard pricing is set at INR 1.75 lakh. Customers can pre-reserve their EV bike by paying INR 999. It is offered in Cosmic Black and Frost White colourways.
Deliveries of both electric vehicles will begin in early 2026, as per the company.

The Ultraviolette Tesseract is powered by an electric motor which generates a peak power of up to 20bhp or 15kW. This helps the EV achieve a top speed of 125 kmph. A Dynamic Regen system on the electric scooter offers four levels of energy regeneration. Meanwhile, two traction control modes help the rider keep it under control on rough or uneven terrains. It also gets several other driving experience-related features such as dual-channel ABS, park assist, and hill-hold.

The electric scooter has an IDC claimed range of 162 km and 220 km with the 3.5kWh and 5kW battery packs, respectively. Meanwhile, the top-end SRB-6 battery pack with a 6kW capacity can deliver a range of up to 261 km. When it comes to charging, the company claims it can be charged from 0 to 80 percent within an hour. Ultraviolette offers an 8-year/2 lakh kilometre warranty on the Tesseract's battery pack, whichever comes earlier.

The electric scooter gets dual projector headlamps with floating DRLs, a 7-inch TFT screen offering turn-by-turn onboard navigation, Omnisense mirrors with multi-colour LED displays, 14-inch wheels, and a 34-litre underseat storage. Riders also have the option to charge their phones on the go, courtesy of an in-built wireless charger.

For enhanced safety, it has been equipped with an integrated radar and dashcam. The front radar keeps an eye on approaching obstacles while the rear radar tracks vehicles approaching from behind. The company's ARAS 360 full-circle radar system tracks its surroundings in real-time. Further, Ultraviolette offers safety technologies such as blindspot detection, lane change, overtaking assist, and real-time collision alerts.
