Tired of the same old electric scooters and commuter bikes? If you crave a ride that’s as capable on city streets as it is on a dirt trail, then get ready for the Ultraviolette Shockwave. This is not just an electric motorcycle; it’s a road-legal, lightweight electric enduro bike that promises the thrill of a two-stroke machine without the noise or the pollution.
Ultraviolette, known for its high-performance F77 series, is now shaking up the affordable-performance segment with the new Shockwave. Designed for the adventurous commuter and the budget-conscious enthusiast, let’s explore why this bike is the electrifying upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
Design: Enduro Style Meets Electric Edge
The Ultraviolette Shockwave immediately stands out with its authentic enduro-bike styling. Built on the new ‘Funduro’ light vehicle platform, the design is rugged, minimalist, and aggressive.
- Slim & Agile: The sleek, narrow profile is designed for easy maneuverability in traffic and on trails.
- Rally Ready: It features a high-mounted front fender (the “beak”), a tall handlebar, and a slim single-piece seat, giving it that genuine rally bike stance.
- Futuristic Lighting: Dual-projector LED headlamps, stacked vertically, give the bike a unique and menacing look that cuts through the darkness.
- Dual-Purpose Tyres: Rolling on spoke wheels with block-pattern tyres (19-inch front, 17-inch rear) signals its readiness for any surface.
Performance: Lightweight Punch
Don’t let the electric tag fool you—the Shockwave is all about performance. Ultraviolette has engineered this bike to feel like a powerful, yet lightweight, machine, reminiscent of classic fun-to-ride two-stroke motorcycles.
| Metric | Performance Detail |
| Max Power | 14.5 HP (10.81 kW) |
| Peak Torque (at Wheel) | 505 Nm |
| Top Speed (Claimed) | 120 kmph |
| Acceleration (0-60 kmph) | A claimed 2.9 seconds |
| Kerb Weight | A feather-light 120 kg |
The enormous 505 Nm of torque at the wheel ensures instant, electrifying pickup, making overtaking effortless and giving the rider a huge fun-factor boost.
Range & Charging: Practicality for the Daily Ride
While it’s built for fun, the Shockwave doesn’t forget its commuter duties. Its 4 kWh battery pack offers a dependable range that covers most daily riding needs.
- Claimed IDC Range: 165 km on a single charge. This is a solid figure that alleviates most range anxiety for city dwellers and light touring enthusiasts.
- Fast Charging: It supports fast charging, which is crucial. You can expect to top up the battery from 20% to 80% in less than 30 minutes using Ultraviolette’s Supernova charger.
Smart Tech & Safety Features
Ultraviolette is serious about rider safety and connectivity, equipping the Shockwave with features usually found on much more expensive bikes:
- Switchable Dual-Channel ABS: Provides superior braking control and allows riders to switch off the rear ABS for off-road fun.
- 4-Level Traction Control: Essential for a high-torque electric bike, this feature ensures maximum grip on various terrains.
- 6-Level Dynamic Regenerative Braking: This not only charges the battery while riding but also assists in braking, allowing the rider to customize the feel.
- Connectivity: A 5-inch TFT full-color display offers smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth and e-SIM, giving you access to navigation, ride data, and vehicle alerts.
Pricing: Performance That Doesn’t Break the Bank
Positioning the Shockwave for the “budget-conscious enthusiast” segment, Ultraviolette has launched it at an attractive price point.
- Standard Ex-showroom Price: ₹ 1,75,000 (approx.)
- Introductory Offer: The first few thousand customers often receive a special launch price, making it even more accessible.
While this isn’t a sub-₹1 Lakh commuter, it offers performance and technology that directly competes with 200cc-300cc ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) bikes, making it a strong value proposition for the features and electric savings it provides.
