Ultraviolette Automotive, based in Bengaluru and backed by TVS Motor, unveiled two new electric vehicles—the Tesseract electric scooter and the Shockwave Enduro e-bike—during its Ultraviolette Fast Forward India 2025 event. The launch is the company’s entry into the electric scooter market in addition to its further development of performance-focused electric motorcycles.
Tesseract electric scooter: Design and performance
The Tesseract is Ultraviolette’s first electric scooter, which takes the form of a maxi-styled scooter influenced by attack helicopters. The scooter has a substantial front apron, angular side panels, and dual apron-mounted LED projector headlights with floating DRLs. The look combines futuristic elements with aerodynamics.
Under the hood, the Tesseract comes in three variants:
- Tesseract 3.5: 10kW motor, 3.5 kWh battery, offering a range of 162 km (IDC).
- Tesseract 5: 15kW motor, 5 kWh battery, with a range of 220 km (IDC).
- Tesseract 6: 15kW motor, 6 kWh battery, delivering a range of 261 km (IDC).
The highest version is capable of accelerating to 0-60 kmph in 2.9 seconds and reaching 125 kmph as its top speed. Moreover, the rapid charging allows the Tesseract 6 to charge from 0-80% in less than an hour.
Features and technology
The Tesseract is equipped with segment-first features, including:
- 7-inch customizable TFT display with e-SIM connectivity
- ADAS system with front and rear radar for collision warnings and blind-spot detection
- Dual dashcam system
- Wireless charging dock
- 34 liters of under-seat storage (expandable by 12 liters with optional panniers)
- 2-level traction control and 4-level dynamic regenerative braking
- Dual disc brakes with dual-channel ABS
The radar-based ADAS system improves rider safety through the provision of spatial awareness, collision warnings, and haptic handlebar warnings for blind spots and overtaking traffic.
Shockwave enduro e-Bike: Performance and design
The Shockwave enduro e-bike is for off-road fans, with its tough enduro design sporting higher fenders, long-travel suspension, and dual-purpose tires. The Shockwave is powered by a mid-motor developing 14.5PS and 505Nm of wheel torque, achieving a top speed of 120 kmph and hitting 0-60 kmph in 2.9 seconds.
With a lightweight 120 kg kerb weight, the e-bike offers a range of 165 km and is equipped with:
- 37 mm telescopic fork with 200 mm wheel travel
- Monoshock rear suspension with 180 mm travel
- Switchable ABS and 4-level traction control
- Digital console with LTE e-SIM and Bluetooth connectivity

Ultraviolette also introduced sophisticated riding wear, which includes the gesture-control Striker One gloves and the Star-suit System Project jacket with reversible heating and cooling functions.
The company is planning to introduce 12 new products on five platforms—F Series (performance bikes), S Series (scooters), L Series (light motorcycles), X Series, and B Series—by 2028 with a target of selling 1 lakh units annually in three to four years.
