If you’re someone who dreams of owning a powerful, stylish, and tech-loaded electric sports bike, the Ultraviolette F77 might just be the ride for you. This electric machine from the Bengaluru-based startup Ultraviolette Automotive is not only turning heads with its aggressive design but is also proving that electric bikes can be thrilling and practical at the same time.
Let’s explore what makes the Ultraviolette F77 a game-changer in the electric motorcycle market.
Design & Style
The Ultraviolette F77 doesn’t look like your everyday electric bike. It has the sharpness of a fighter jet and the confidence of a beast ready to hit the road. Its aggressive front profile, angular body panels, and aerodynamic styling make it look bold and sporty. The LED headlamp setup gives it a mean look, and the overall appearance feels premium and futuristic.
The bike comes in various vibrant colors, each giving it a unique identity. Even the branding is sleek, with minimal graphics but high visual appeal. The riding posture is slightly sporty, thanks to the rear-set footpegs and low-slung handlebars, yet it’s comfortable enough for daily rides.
Engine & Performance
Although it doesn’t have a traditional petrol engine, don’t mistake the F77 for being slow. The heart of this electric machine is a 27 kW electric motor (in standard variant) that delivers 90 Nm of torque, giving instant acceleration. The top variant – the F77 Recon – makes 29 kW and can go from 0 to 60 km/h in just 3.1 seconds, which is seriously impressive for any two-wheeler.
It has three riding modes: Glide, Combat, and Ballistic – each tuned for different riding conditions. Glide is perfect for city rides, Combat gives you that sporty feel, and Ballistic is for when you really want to unleash the full potential of the bike.
The F77 also comes with regen braking, which helps recharge the battery during deceleration.
Ride & Handling
Thanks to its trellis frame chassis, the Ultraviolette F77 feels planted and confident on the road. The bike weighs around 197-207 kg depending on the variant, but the weight is well distributed. It handles corners smoothly and remains stable even at high speeds.
The suspension setup includes an upside-down front fork and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock, which together offer a balanced ride. The 17-inch alloy wheels with Michelin tyres give a strong grip, and the dual-channel ABS with disc brakes on both ends ensures reliable braking.
Features & Tech
This is where the F77 truly feels like a bike from the future. It comes with a 5-inch TFT digital display that shows everything from speed, battery percentage, range, navigation, and ride modes to real-time diagnostics. You can connect your phone through the Ultraviolette app to access ride analytics, bike location, theft protection, and firmware updates.
Another highlight is over-the-air (OTA) updates, which means your bike keeps getting smarter over time without visiting a service center. It also has modular battery architecture, thermal management system, and a smart battery pack made for Indian conditions.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
Yes, even though it’s electric, range matters just like mileage does in petrol bikes. The Ultraviolette F77 standard variant offers a claimed IDC range of 206 km, while the Recon variant claims 307 km. In real-world usage, you can expect 180-200 km per charge, depending on your riding mode and road conditions.
Charging takes around 5 hours with a standard charger, but you can cut that time significantly with fast charging, which offers up to 35 km of range in just 1 hour.

Yes, it’s priced on the premium side, but it’s important to remember this is a performance electric bike, not a budget commuter. It competes more with high-end petrol bikes than with basic electric scooters.
There’s also a limited edition variant which was launched earlier, but that was only for the first 77 units and is no longer available.
