Ultraviolette’s Tesseract and Shockwave introduce aviation-inspired EV motors, radar-based safety, AI-powered voice commands, and aerospace-grade design, setting a new standard for Indian electric two-wheelers.

Ultraviolette has redefined electric mobility with the unveiling of Shockwave, a lightweight electric motorcycle engineered to bring back the raw excitement of the 2-stroke era, alongside Tesseract, India’s most advanced electric scooter. Both vehicles integrate aviation-inspired motors, AI-powered riding assistance, radar-based safety systems, and next-gen connected technology, making them the most futuristic two-wheelers in India’s EV market.
At the FAST FORWARD India ’25 event in Bengaluru, Ultraviolette revealed a bold expansion strategy that includes cutting-edge rider technology and a global roadmap. With an introductory price of ₹1.2 lakh for Tesseract (limited to the first 10,000 customers) and ₹1.43 lakh for Shockwave (limited to the first 1,000 customers), these electric vehicles promise to make premium EV technology accessible to mainstream riders while delivering an unparalleled riding experience.

Ultraviolette’s Tesseract isn’t just another electric scooter; it is the first Indian EV to feature a built-in radar system that enhances rider safety with blindspot detection, real-time collision alerts, and lane-change assist. The Omnisense mirrors, equipped with multicolor LED displays and dashcam integration, provide enhanced situational awareness to riders. The 7-inch TFT touchscreen display, combined with AI-powered voice controls, makes navigation and vehicle diagnostics seamless. The traction control and dynamic regenerative braking system optimize battery efficiency, ensuring extended range and improved stability on urban roads.

The Shockwave motorcycle is designed to reignite the thrill of lightweight motorcycling, taking inspiration from the golden era of 2-stroke machines while infusing it with state-of-the-art electric powertrain technology. Its aviation-based motor design delivers rapid acceleration, while its lightweight frame and balanced weight distribution make it exceptionally agile in urban conditions. Ultraviolette has integrated temperature-controlled riding gear and a voice-based communication system, allowing riders to stay connected with their vehicle in real-time. The connected ecosystem extends beyond the motorcycle, offering riders a fully immersive experience with personalized performance settings and adaptive riding modes.
