Ultraviolette Shocks the Electric Motorcycle Market with New Enduro
Ultraviolette Automotive has launched the Shockwave, its latest electric motorcycle, at the Fast Forward event in Bengaluru. The new electric enduro bike is built on a new light vehicle platform called ‘Funduro’. With an introductory price of ₹1.50 lakh for the first 1,000 customers, and ₹1.75 lakh thereafter (ex-showroom), the Shockwave aims to capture attention in the e-mobility sector.
Pre-bookings begin immediately, and deliveries are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2026.
Shockwave’s Specifications
The Ultraviolette Shockwave is the first of two new bikes launched on the ‘Funduro’ platform. It boasts a 14.5 bhp electric motor generating 505 Nm of peak torque at the wheel. Ultraviolette claims a top speed of 120 kmph and acceleration from 0-60 kmph in 2.9 seconds. Weighing in at 120 kg, the Shockwave promises agility.
The Shockwave’s 4 kWh battery pack provides a claimed range of 165 km (IDC) on a single charge.
Suspension and Braking
The suspension setup includes 37 mm cartridge-type telescopic front forks with 200 mm of travel, and a monoshock at the rear with 180 mm of travel. The bike rides on a 19-inch front wheel with a 90/90 section tire and a 17-inch rear wheel with a 110/90 section tire, both spoked. Braking is handled by a 270 mm front disc with an axial-mounted dual-piston caliper and a 220 mm rear disc with a floating piston caliper.
Design and Features
Ultraviolette states the Shockwave is inspired by the two-stroke motorcycles of the past. This design inspiration, combined with the characteristics of an electric motor, should result in strong low-end acceleration. The bike will also be available in a two-seater version, enhancing its practicality.
Competition and Future Plans
The Shockwave is positioned to compete with bikes like the Hero XPulse 210, priced at ₹1.76 lakh (ex-showroom). Ultraviolette also teased a new streetfighter model based on the Funduro platform, but details are yet to be released.
For the immediate future, the company will likely focus on the Shockwave and the new Tesseract electric scooter, both expected in Q1 2026. Further offerings are planned for the coming years, indicating Ultraviolette’s commitment to expanding its electric vehicle portfolio.
