Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive will launch its long-awaited F77 electric motorcycle in India on November 27, 2022. The F77’s launch comes over 2 years after the model was first revealed in late 2019 with the company in the ensuing period having made updates to the final product.

Compared to the model revealed in 2019, the F77 gets a new battery pack with additional cells and safety features to minimise the risk of thermal runaways while improving on range. Speaking of range, the claimed figure is now expected to be close to 200 km from the initially promised 130-150 km. As with the bike unveiled in 2019, the production F77 will be powered by a BLDC motor developing 33 bhp and 90 Nm of torque. The manufacturer claims 0-60 kmph comes up in 2.8 seconds with 0-100 kmph coming up in 7.5 seconds. The top speed is rated at 147 kmph.
