Electric two-wheeler manufacturer, Ultraviolette Automotive hosted an exclusive test ride of its high-performance electric motorcycle - the F77, with India’s pilot community.
The test ride was conducted at the TAAL airstrip to demonstrate the F77’s cutting-edge specs and capabilities as well as give the pilots a first-hand experience of the production-ready version of the F77, ahead of its commercial launch in India.
Designed and engineered in India, the F77 is an urban sports bike that has been built ground-up with principles used in the aviation industry. Since its unveiling, the F77 has gone through several rounds of key advancements across various parameters, making it the most advanced high-performance electric motorcycle in the market.
Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder and CEO of Ultraviolette, stated, “The core philosophy of aviation engineering revolves around the fact that every single part within an aircraft should serve a functional purpose and must be engineered for 100 per cent accuracy and safety. This has been our northstar and guiding principle right from Day 1, when we set out to build the F77."
The F77 is a high-performance electric motorcycle built with principles used in the aviation industry. With an acceleration of 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, a top speed of 140 km/h, and a range of around 200 km on a single charge.
The F77 is a smart and connected electric motorcycle that comes with remote diagnostics, over-the-air (OTA) upgrades, regenerative braking, multiple ride modes, bike tracking, ride diagnostics, and a whole lot of other features.
At the test ride, the pilots were given the opportunity to experience the F77 across multiple parameters, including acceleration, torque, handling, braking, cornering and the real time connected platform.
Niraj Rajmohan, Co-Founder and CTO, Ultraviolette, said, “ The F77 is a motorcycle like no other, carving out a niche identity for not only Ultraviolette, but what ‘electric’ could stand for. We have spent the last two years paying attention to the minutest details and creating a product that is futuristic and truly global, in line with our aviation DNA.”
Ultraviolette Automotive has been rigorously testing the F77 across different terrains in the country to validate the motorcycle’s drivetrain, chassis, and battery capability using several quantitative and qualitative parameters.
