A Bengaluru-based startup called Ultraviolette has unveiled an electric bike called the F77. This company, which had received a Rs 6 crore investment from TVS Motor Company last year, has plans to compete with petrol bikes in the 200 cc to 250 cc range with its futuristic-looking bike.

Some stats: The bike can do a claimed 147 Kph top speed with a range of between 130-150 Km on a single charge. It comes with three removable battery packs. The company hasn’t shared details of the capacity, but it comes with three different charging options.

A regular household charger can charge it to full charge in about 3 hours for an 80 percent charge. It also has a fast charger that can juice it up to 80 percent in 50 minutes. And the batteries can be removed and charged in a dock for those who live in high-rise buildings.

The  F77 is likely to be priced around Rs 3 lakh and deliveries will begin in October 2020 in Bengaluru.

The Ultraviolette F77 is powered by a 25Kw brush-less DC motor with a chain drive and single-gear reduction. It claims 90 Nm of peak torque at the motor and 450 Nm at the wheel! It can accelerate from 0-60 Kph in 2.92 seconds and 0-100 Kph in 7.3 seconds.

The  F77 is likely to be priced around Rs 3 lakh and deliveries will begin in October 2020 in Bengaluru.

It has regenerative braking, which can be controlled through a mobile app. The app also has other data emerging from the bike, which will help remotely diagnose issues or tweak settings on the bike.

It comes with a trellis-frame chassis, alloy wheels and disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. It has a powered battery tray and a fully-faired design. It will compete with bikes like the Revolt RV 400 among electric bikes and KTM 200 Duke in petrol bikes.
