Introduction
India is experiencing a quiet but significant revolution on two wheels. Urban traffic, increasing fuel prices, and green pressure are driving the country towards eco-friendly mobility, and electric scooters have become the leaders in this transition. In the last couple of years, names such as Ather Energy and Ola Electric have stepped up, bringing forth feature-packed, performance-driven electric scooters explicitly designed for the contemporary Indian commuter. Their achievement has set the stage for a competitive and fast-developing EV market.
Enter Ultraviolette Tesseract Automotive, a Bengaluru startup that set the motorcycle world abuzz with its electric two-wheeler, the F77. Supported by TVS Motor Company, Ultraviolette Tesseract has consistently defined itself as a tech-leading, high-performance EV disruptor. Today, with the launch of the Ultraviolette Tesseract electric scooter, the company is extending its trademark fusion of speed, smarts, and futuristic looks to the mass market.
As opposed to the usual e-scooters that trade off features for affordability, the Ultraviolette Tesseract is built to disrupt the norm. Industry-first technologies such as radar-based ADAS, dual dashcams, and a class-leading 261 km range, it’s not merely keeping pace with Ather and Ola, it’s looking to overtake. As Ultraviolette Tesseract eyes India’s cluttered EV battlefield, the Tesseract might be the scooter that resets expectations and makes competition step up its game.
Reason 1: Design and Build Quality
At first glance, the Ultraviolette Tesseract makes a statement, not only as an electric scooter but also as a design statement. Whereas most electric scooters adopt a minimalist, safe design language, the Ultraviolette Tesseract defies convention with a futuristic, aggressive design language that appears more sci-fi than daily commuter.
- Futuristic Design Elements
The Ultraviolette Tesseract has angular lines, aerodynamic shapes, and an angular LED headlight arrangement, projecting a sporty and near-motorcycle-like street presence. The floating panels, incorporated turn signals, and color-contracted finishes provide the scooter with a high-tech and premium feel. Even the digital display is tastefully integrated into the dashboard, which aligns with the overall “tech-sculpted” look.
While most scooters appear to be discreet appliances on wheels, the Ultraviolette Tesseract seems to move even at a standstill, a definite reference to Ultraviolette Tesseract’s performance-oriented DNA.
- Ergonomics, Materials, and Aesthetics
Beyond looks, the Ultraviolette Tesseract is engineered with rider comfort and functionality in mind. The seat design is slightly contoured for better lower-back support, and the handlebars are positioned for an upright, relaxed posture, ideal for both city commutes and longer rides.
In the build, Ultraviolette Tesseract has incorporated lightweight but robust components such as aerospace-grade aluminum parts and high-density plastic body panels to ensure strength without weight gain. Even the space underneath the seat has been well-planned with 34 liters of room, sufficient to accommodate a full-face helmet and basic items.
Touchpoints like the grips, switches, and footrests are premium, reflecting care in craftsmanship. LED illumination all over, including headline-grabbing tail lights, rounds out the scooter’s tech-savvy personality.
Reason 2: Performance and Range
The Ultraviolette Tesseract promises performance that does not know the difference between a scooter and a sports bike. Powering it is a liquid-cooled electric motor that churns out an impressive 14.91 kW, much more than what is currently being promised by electric scooters in India. The result is a class-leading top speed of 125 km/h, with riders able to cruise on highways and overtake with ease in city traffic.
When it comes to acceleration, the Ultraviolette Tesseract stands alone. It whisks from 0 to 60 km/h in a blistering 2.9 seconds, a time that beats several petrol-powered scooters and even a few entry-level motorcycles. The instant torque response characteristic of electric powertrains is fine-tuned here for that extra dynamism, so each twist of the throttle feels sprightly and thrilling.
The scooter has three battery pack variations, providing range flexibility according to range requirements and pricing sensitivity. The 3.5 kWh model offers an IDC-certified range of 162 km, the 5.0 kWh version extends that to 220 km, and the highest-end 6.0 kWh pack offers an impressive 261 km on full charge.
These figures make the Ultraviolette Tesseract one of the longest-range electric scooters available in India today; it is suitable for both daily city commutes and longer weekend rides.
Ultraviolette Tesseract charging is no less impressive. It is equipped to handle fast-charging features that charge the battery from 0 to 80% in merely 60 minutes. When connected to the Ultraviolette Tesseract supercharger network, this time comes down even lower; a 20% to 80% fill-up takes 30 minutes. This means zero downtime and complete convenience for those who are constantly on the go. With this amount of performance, range, and rapid-charging efficiency, the Ultraviolette Tesseract is built for a new generation of EV riders who need both excitement and practicality.
Reason 3: Technology and Innovation
The Ultraviolette Tesseract is not only an electric scooter, it’s a demonstration of cutting-edge technology crammed into a two-wheeler. One of its most innovative aspects is India’s first radar-based Advanced Rider Assistance System, a giant leap in the safety and awareness of the rider. This technology comprises blind spot detection, lane change assist, forward collision warnings, and overtaking alerts, all of which were heretofore exclusive to premium vehicles and motorcycles. In making such innovative safety technology available in the scooter market, Ultraviolette Tesseract raises the bar on urban mobility.
Complementing this high-tech package are dual front and rear dashcams that record your rides in constant loop mode. These dual-function cameras boost security and record ride video for enthusiasts or commuters who desire a second level of digital accountability. The cams are integrated subtly and will not detract from the scooter’s sleek design.
Under the sophisticated electronics is a strong Dynamic Stability Control system, which senses traction and wheel attitude in real time. It assists in control when making abrupt braking or cornering maneuvers, particularly valuable on slick roads or congested traffic. Pairing with DSC are convenience functions such as cruise control for highway cruising without effort, hill hold to avoid rollback on slopes, reverse mode for effortless parking in cramped spots, and park assist to guide the scooter smoothly into place. Combined, these functions provide a degree of sophistication and rider assurance that is not common, if unheard of, in India’s electric scooter market.
By combining this dense range of innovative features, Ultraviolette Tesseract has not only made a scooter, but it has constructed a connected, smart device capable of the next generation of urban mobility
- 7-inch TFT touchscreen display.
- Violette AI, smartphone connectivity, and analytics for rides.
- Wireless charging, haptic feedback, and keyless entry.
- 34-liter under-seat storage.
- Hill hold, reverse assist, and comfort for daily riding.
Reason 4: Price and Availability
The Ultraviolette Tesseract is entering the market with an aggressive price strategy to shake up the premium electric scooter market. The company has offered an initial price of Rs. 1.20 lakh for the first 50,000 bookings, making it an extremely desirable choice given its class-leading performance, range, and technology. Once the initial phase is over, the usual pricing is likely to go from Rs. 1.45 lakh upwards, based on the chosen battery setup and optional equipment.
In comparison to its top competitors, the Ultraviolette Tesseract provides much more value for money in terms of price-to-performance. The Ather 450X costs approximately Rs. 1.44 lakh and provides a maximum power output of 8.7 bhp with a range of roughly 150 km. Likewise, the Ola S1 Pro+ costs about Rs. 1.47 lakh with 11.3 bhp and a maximum range of 181 km. It’s the other way around with the Ultraviolette Tesseract, which carries a 20.1 bhp engine, up to 261 km of range, radar technology for safety, dual dashcams, and much better acceleration and top speed, all for the same or lesser price. This makes the Ultraviolette Tesseract a clear winner when it comes to the value-for-money aspect.
Reservations are currently open through the Ultraviolette Tesseract’s official website, with a fully refundable token payment of Rs. 999 to reserve a place in the early batch. With high demand, particularly following a spate of media coverage and test ride teasers, the company has experienced blockbuster bookings within days of announcing it.
