'Ultraviolette Automotive,' the Bangalore, Karnataka-based electric mobility startup, recently announced its upcoming F77 motorcycle. The F77 is a high-speed e-motorbike with a maximum speed of 94 miles per hour, more than enough for highways and motorways across India. The F77 can also accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 7.5 seconds, which is generous given the motorcycle's affordable price tag.
The F77 boasts a range-per-charge of 125 miles, as well as the capability of charging quickly when plugged into a dedicated outlet. According to Ultraviolette Automotive, the motorbike has already received more than 65,000 preorder inquiries from around the globe. However, the motorbike is launching to the Indian market first and is designed for this market, specifically.
The design of the F77 is reminiscent of traditional motorsports bikes with a bulky frame, an aerodynamic front-end, and an ergonomic seating fixture.
