Ultraviolette X-47 Venom: 30 kW and radar for the A1 class

Milan, EICMA 2026: Following the European launch of the F77 last year, Ultraviolette continues to expand its range. At the heart of its show presence on 3 November is the X-47 Venom, the first bike on the new 100-volt VX-100 platform. It is joined by the Tesseract Maxi, presented in Europe for the first time, the lightweight electric enduro Shockwave, as well as the F77 and F99. The brand aims to evolve from a manufacturer of electric performance bikes into a more broadly positioned mobility and technology company. This is evident beyond the vehicles too: voice control and three helmet concepts are also part of the show presence.

The X-47 Venom is designed as a crossover for a variety of surfaces. According to the manufacturer, its UV Lightfury motor delivers 30 kW of peak electrical power, with 550 Nm available at the wheel. The latter is explicitly a wheel torque figure. Ultraviolette quotes 2.7 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 60 km/h, while the 100 km/h mark is said to fall after 5.9 seconds. The spec sheet lists a top speed of 155 km/h. Wet weight is 206 kg, ground clearance 200 mm. In Europe, the X-47 Venom is approved for holders of an A1 licence.

In terms of controls, Ultraviolette relies on three riding modes: Glide, Combat and Ballistic. Cruise control can be used in all three. Ten regeneration levels, switchable dual-channel ABS from Bosch, four-stage traction control and Dynamic Stability Control round out the features. The motor uses soft magnetic composites. This design is intended to increase power density and efficiency while reducing mass and energy losses. Ultraviolette also expects this to result in a more nimble bike and more usable range.

For urban riding, Ultraviolette quotes a WMTC range of 235 km. The basis is SRB-11 battery technology in a 100-volt configuration. The manufacturer claims up to 20 percent higher energy density and double the cooling capacity. An optimised thermal path is said to dissipate heat up to 50 percent faster. A cast aluminium housing serves as a structural shell and is intended to combine strength, impact protection and lower mass. The platform is modular, designed for different battery capacities, vehicle configurations and power levels. IP67 protection and resistance to shocks, vibrations and thermal stress are part of the concept.

For safety, Ultraviolette combines a battery management system that monitors cell voltage, temperature and current with cell-level fuses and a pyro fuse. In the event of a critical fault, the latter is designed to cut the circuit within microseconds. Charging takes place via a Type 2 port and a built-in, air-cooled 1.6 kW charger. An external 3 kW boost charger is available as an option. The onboard charger features surge protection, grounding and filters against electromagnetic interference. According to the manufacturer, it should deliver its full output even at ambient temperatures of 45 to 50 degrees Celsius.

The standard UV Hypersense system uses a 77 GHz rear radar with a detection range of up to 200 metres. It is designed to adapt to lean angles of up to 20 degrees and compensate for roll and pitch movements. Functions include blind spot detection, lane change assist, warnings of vehicles overtaking from behind and a rear collision warning. The latter alerts the rider via the integrated Hypersense mirrors while simultaneously activating the hazard lights to alert following traffic. The assistance systems are thus intended to provide additional information about what is happening behind the bike.

The UV Interface X consists of a 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with a user interface Ultraviolette describes as tactical. It is complemented by integrated front and rear dashcams with a Sony IMX307 sensor, a parking aid with rear camera view and revised navigation with Mappls. Connectivity with the companion app enables communication between vehicle and smartphone as well as software updates.

With the Tesseract Maxi, Ultraviolette is offering an electric maxi scooter for the city, expressways and everyday use. A 6 kWh battery and 15 kW of peak electrical power form the basis of the drivetrain. Fast charging is said to bring the battery to 80 percent in less than an hour. The scooter rolls on 14-inch wheels and offers 32 litres of storage under the seat. An aerodynamic design is part of the concept, as are accessories for longer trips: touring screen, handguards, tail bag and luggage rack.

The scooter also comes with electronics on board. Hypersense radar and an integrated dashcam system work together with Omnisense mirrors. Listed functions include blind spot detection, lane change and overtaking assist, and real-time collision warnings. Multicolour LED indicators are integrated into the mirrors. Traction control and regeneration round out the package. Vehicle information is brought together on a 7-inch TFT touchscreen.

According to Ultraviolette, the Shockwave is meant to transfer the light, accessible riding feel of the two-stroke era to an electric bike. For the enduro, the manufacturer quotes 505 Nm at the rear wheel and 2.9 seconds from 0 to 60 km/h. Up front is a 19-inch spoked wheel with a 90/90-R19 tyre, at the rear a 17-inch spoked wheel with 110/90-R17 rubber.

The F77, also on display, combines an aviation-inspired, aerodynamically shaped fairing with up to 30 kW of peak power and 9.5 kW of continuous power. Ultraviolette quotes 500 Nm of wheel torque, 2.8 seconds from 0 to 60 km/h and up to 231 km of WMTC urban range from a 10.3 kWh battery. With the boost charger, charging from 20 to 80 percent is said to take 2.5 hours. Ten regeneration levels, four-stage traction control, switchable dual-channel ABS, DSC, LED lighting, multiple riding modes and a 5-inch TFT are among the features. OTA updates, location tracking, ride history, anti-theft protection and parking assist complete the connectivity package.

At the sporty end of the range sits the F99, with a powertrain, chassis and 400-volt battery architecture developed in India. It features a full exoskeleton and a carbon-fibre battery pack as well as a liquid-cooled drivetrain. According to the manufacturer, it accelerates to 100 km/h in under three seconds and to 200 km/h in under ten seconds. Ultraviolette also cites national records for an Indian motorcycle: 10.712 seconds over the quarter mile and a top speed of 258 km/h.

Together with SoundHound AI, Ultraviolette is developing more natural voice control. At the show, the brand demonstrates how, after the wake word Violette, riders can select riding modes, start navigation and retrieve information from the digital owner's manual. This includes recommended tyre pressures, service instructions and guides. Also shown are functions for pre-ride checks, ride statistics, predictive alerts and service warnings. Violette A.I. runs on the 7-inch Interface X touchscreen and combines navigation, live telemetry diagnostics, digital manuals and hands-free safety commands. Edge computing and more advanced AI assistants are part of the development roadmap.

The three helmet studies explore different ideas. Star Vue combines augmented reality with mobility and aims to turn the helmet into an interface between rider and the digital world. Fang 01 features an exoskeleton-like protective form designed to interact dynamically with its surroundings. Decibelle blends technology and fashion with a design approach for road and race track. Integrated high-resolution audio is part of this concept. All three are presented as concepts.

Ultraviolette quotes an introductory price of 8,450 euros for the X-47 Venom. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2027. Germany, Austria and Switzerland are handled by Zero Center AG. In Italy, Zero Center Italia S.R.L. is responsible, while Rhino Electric Motors S.L. covers Spain and Portugal. MotoMondo UK Ltd. takes care of the United Kingdom, MotoMondo BV of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Ireland. They are joined by Pink Mobility in France and Elektrorider in Hungary and the Danube region.

Founded in 2016 by Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan, the company says it exports to 20 countries. It describes itself as the first Indian electric manufacturer with European motorcycle certification. Its investors include Lingotto, TDK Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, Zoho Corporation, TVS Motors, Yali Capital and Speciale Invest. Following its European expansion, Ultraviolette is preparing to expand into North America, Latin America and Southeast Asia, according to CEO Subramaniam. CTO Rajmohan emphasises the modular approach, which is intended to allow the technology to be transferred to further products and vehicle segments.
