Indian manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive has introduced its VX-100, a 100-volt electric architecture, alongside the X-47 Venom crossover motorcycle, its first application. The X-47 is offered in four variants, with claimed IDC ranges of 227 km or 343 km, depending on battery size. The company plans to launch the model in Europe at EICMA on Nov. 3, 2026, with deliveries expected in early 2027, according to its CTO.
Indian electric two-wheeler maker Ultraviolette Automotive has introduced its 100-volt VX-100 architecture and launched the X-47 Venom crossover motorcycle as the platform’s first application. The model is available in four variants, with battery capacities of 7.5 kWh or 11 kWh; the company lists IDC ranges of 227 km and 343 km, respectively.
Ultraviolette says VX-100 combines three components developed in-house: the SRB-11 battery pack, the Light Fury motor and a new 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 it has 25% higher energy density, cools twice as fast, weighs 15% less and supports twice-as-fast charging. The company also says it is the only electric two-wheeler battery pack in India able to accept DC charging at up to 12 kW.
The X-47 Venom’s standard and Plus variants share a 7.5 kWh pack, while the Recon and Recon+ variants use the 11 kWh pack. Ultraviolette’s stated IDC range figures are 227 km for the smaller battery and 343 km for the larger one. The Plus and Recon+ add a 1.6 kW onboard charger. All variants are fitted with a 30 kW motor; the company gives acceleration from 0 to 100 kph as 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 155 kph.
The Light Fury motor has an aviation-derived design, according to Ultraviolette, and is 25% lighter and twice as power-dense as its predecessor. It uses soft magnetic composites and a trapezoidal coil layout, and can spin at up to 9,000 rpm. The controller uses silicon carbide power transistors; the company says it weighs 2.5 kg, 40% less than the previous unit, and offers three times the power density.
Listed 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 listed Indian starting price is 300,000 rupees. Ultraviolette says the first 5,000 customers can receive a 35,000-rupee launch discount, bringing the starting price to 265,000 rupees. The company reports that it has 55 showrooms and plans to increase that number to 100 by the first quarter of 2027.
A New Platform Beyond the F-77
The launch adds a new electrical platform to Ultraviolette’s product lineup and makes the X-47 Venom its first announced model using the company’s 100-volt system. Its 11 kWh battery and claimed 12 kW DC charging are central to the company’s pitch for the Recon versions, while the 7.5 kWh options provide a lower-capacity alternative. These specifications may matter to riders weighing range, charging time and purchase price, but real-world performance will depend on conditions and charging infrastructure.
The announcement also signals a planned expansion beyond India. Ultraviolette says it will present the X-47 Venom in Europe at EICMA 2026 and begin deliveries there in early 2027. That would add a second model to its European offering, where the source report says the company currently sells the F-77. The new model’s final European specifications, pricing and availability were not provided in the launch information.

India Launch and European Plans
Ultraviolette builds the F-77 and X-47 at its Bengaluru factory, which has stated production capacity of 30,000 units and can be expanded to 50,000–60,000, according to the source report. The company is also developing a larger facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, called BIGGA. It is planned for capacity of 250,000 units, with space to expand to 500,000. The facility’s production timeline and ramp-up details were not included in the report.
CTO and co-founder Niraj Rajmohan told electrive.com that the Hosur site is intended to produce the Tesseract premium scooter and Shockwave enduro motorcycle, which are also planned to use VX-100. He said the company is working to bring those models to Europe as well. Ultraviolette has previously offered the F-77 in Europe; electrive.com reported that it began sales there in July or August 2025 and had delivered about 500 to 700 units.
The company also has the F99, a fully faired high-performance electric motorcycle concept, in development. Rajmohan did not give a launch date in the interview, but indicated that plans could be announced after the Tesseract launch, which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. Figures cited for the F99, including its 400-volt architecture and estimated performance, concern a potential future production model and may change.
“The SRB-11 is the largest battery pack used in a two-wheeler in India.”

Specs, Pricing and Delivery Details
The available announcement does not establish the X-47 Venom’s real-world range, charging times or independent performance. The stated range figures are identified as IDC figures, and Ultraviolette’s comparisons for battery cooling, energy density and charging are company claims. Detailed test conditions and independent verification were not provided.
It is also not clear when Indian customer deliveries will start, how the launch discount will be applied beyond the stated limit of 5,000 customers, or whether the four variants will have different prices beyond the entry price given. For Europe, final variant availability, prices, homologation details and delivery dates remain unannounced. The stated early-2027 delivery plan is subject to change.
EICMA Debut and Factory Plans
Ultraviolette plans to present the X-47 Venom in Europe at EICMA on Nov. 3, 2026. That event may provide further information about European specifications, prices and sales timing; none of those details are confirmed in the source report. The company says European deliveries are planned for early 2027.
In India, the next stated milestones include expanding the retail network from 55 outlets to 100 by the first quarter of 2027 and launching the Tesseract in that quarter. The planned Hosur factory is intended to support production of that scooter and the Shockwave motorcycle, but the source material does not give a start date for factory operations or a confirmed production schedule for either model.
