India-based Ultraviolette Automotive has introduced its 100-volt VX-100 electrical architecture and launched the X-47 Venom crossover motorcycle as its first model using the platform. The X-47 is offered with 7.5 kWh or 11 kWh batteries, with claimed IDC ranges of 227 km and 343 km; the company says it plans to introduce the model in Europe at EICMA on Nov. 3, 2026.
Indian electric two-wheeler maker Ultraviolette Automotive has introduced its VX-100 100-volt architecture and launched the X-47 Venom crossover motorcycle as the platform’s first application. The new model pairs the company’s in-house battery, motor and controller components with battery options up to 11 kWh, placing the platform at the centre of Ultraviolette’s next product rollout.
Ultraviolette says the VX-100 consists of three newly developed components: the SRB-11 battery pack, the Light Fury motor and a motor controller. The SRB-11 stores 11 kWh, which the company describes as the largest battery pack used in a two-wheeler in India. Compared with the SRB10 pack in the original X-47, Ultraviolette says the new unit has 25% more energy density, is 15% lighter, cools twice as fast and supports charging at twice the speed. It also claims the pack is the only electric two-wheeler battery in India capable of DC charging at up to 12 kW.
The Light Fury motor uses soft magnetic composites and a trapezoidal coil design, and can spin at up to 9,000 rpm. The company says it is 25% lighter and twice as power-dense as its previous-generation motor. The new controller uses silicon carbide power transistors, weighs 2.5 kg and, according to Ultraviolette, is 40% lighter and delivers three times the power density of its predecessor.
The X-47 Venom comes in four versions: Standard, Plus, Recon and Recon+. Standard and Plus share a 7.5 kWh battery; Recon and Recon+ use the 11 kWh pack. Ultraviolette lists IDC ranges of 227 km for the smaller battery and 343 km for the larger one. The Plus and Recon+ include a 1.6 kW onboard charger. All versions are listed with a 30 kW motor, a 0-to-100-kph time of 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 155 kph.
Equipment includes cruise control, a 7-inch IP67-rated touchscreen with navigation, a 35-watt USB-C port, a rear-camera parking assistant and front and rear dashcams. A 77 GHz rear radar supports four rider-assistance functions: blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, overtake alert and rear-collision warning.
The base model’s stated retail price is 300,000 rupees. For the first 5,000 customers, the company is offering a 35,000-rupee launch discount, bringing the starting price to 265,000 rupees. Ultraviolette has 55 showrooms in India and says it plans to expand to 100 by the first quarter of 2027.
A New Platform for More Models
The announcement is not just a new motorcycle launch: the VX-100 is a shared electrical platform that Ultraviolette says will underpin additional vehicles. CTO and co-founder Niraj Rajmohan told Electrive that the planned Tesseract premium scooter and Shockwave enduro motorcycle will also use the architecture. If those models reach production as described, the platform could give the company a common technical base across different two-wheeler categories.
For riders, the X-47’s larger battery and stated DC charging capability are central selling points, while radar-based assistance and onboard cameras add features not limited to propulsion. But the published range figures are IDC estimates, not a guarantee of real-world distance. How the motorcycle performs in everyday use, and how widely the 12 kW charging capability is available to owners, will depend on conditions and charging access.
The launch also sets out Ultraviolette’s expansion plans beyond India. The company says it will present the X-47 in Europe at EICMA and expects deliveries there to begin in early 2027. That plan makes manufacturing capacity, distribution and local market availability relevant to whether the launch translates into sales outside India.

India Launch and European Plans
Ultraviolette builds its F-77 and X-47 at a Bengaluru factory with stated production capacity of 30,000 units, which the company says could be expanded to 50,000–60,000. It is also building a larger facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, called BIGGA. The company says the new plant is planned for 250,000 units of capacity, with room to expand to 500,000. The supplied report does not give a completion date for the factory.
For Europe, Ultraviolette plans to launch the X-47 at EICMA on Nov. 3, 2026, with deliveries expected in early 2027, according to Rajmohan’s interview with Electrive. The company is already present in 20 European countries, where its F-77 is its only model so far. Electrive reports that Ultraviolette had delivered about 500 to 700 F-77 units in Europe since sales began in July or August 2025.
Rajmohan also said the Hosur facility is intended to produce the Tesseract and Shockwave, which the company is working to bring to Europe. The company has not announced a timeline for a production version of its F99 fully faired motorcycle. Rajmohan indicated that plans could be announced after the Tesseract launch, which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.

Real-World Range and Rollout
The stated 227-km and 343-km ranges are based on the Indian Driving Cycle, and the source provides no real-world range results. The report also does not specify charging times, the conditions behind the company’s twice-as-fast charging comparison, or the price of each X-47 variant beyond the base model’s listed price and promotional offer.
European pricing, market-by-market availability and the final specifications for the European version have not been provided. The early-2027 delivery date remains a company forecast. The Hosur factory’s completion schedule and the timing of the Tesseract and Shockwave launches beyond the stated plan are also not detailed.
EICMA Debut and Deliveries
Ultraviolette plans to present the X-47 Venom in Europe at EICMA on Nov. 3, 2026. The company has said it expects European deliveries to start in early 2027; prices and country-specific launch details remain to be announced. In India, the company says its showroom network is due to grow from 55 outlets to 100 by the first quarter of 2027.
The next product milestone identified by the company is the Tesseract, scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2027. Ultraviolette has said the Tesseract and Shockwave are intended to use VX-100, while its plans and timing for a production F99 remain undisclosed.
