Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive plans to introduce four products based on its newly developed VX100 platform over the next 12 months, as it expands its portfolio beyond premium electric motorcycles into scooters and more affordable motorcycle segments.
The company's new 100V architecture made its production debut on the X-47 Venom, launched on Thursday at an introductory price of Rs 2.65 lakh. Ultraviolette is preparing to introduce the Tesseract electric scooter and Shockwave motorcycle in the first quarter of 2027, while an updated version of its F77 sports motorcycle is also under development.
"So, the next one year, you will see four new products coming in with the same VX100," Niraj Rajmohan, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Ultraviolette Automotive, said on the sidelines of the X-47 Venom launch.
Rajmohan did not specify all four products or clarify whether the newly launched X-47 Venom was included in the count.
He said the new platform would eventually be extended across the company's product portfolio, allowing different motorcycles and scooters to benefit from a common technology architecture.
"We haven't made an announcement about the F77. But it's in the works," Rajmohan said, without specifying a launch timeline.
The VX100 platform incorporates a new battery pack, electric motor, motor controller and vehicle electronics. According to Ultraviolette, the 100V architecture offers 25% higher battery energy density, improved thermal management and faster charging, while reducing the weight of key powertrain components.
The X-47 Venom, the first model based on the architecture, is offered with 7.5 kWh and 11 kWh battery packs, delivering claimed Indian Driving Cycle (IDC) ranges of 227 km and 343 km, respectively. The maximum range compares with 323 km on the previous X-47 Crossover. Both new versions produce 30 kW (40 hp), have a claimed top speed of 155 kmph and can accelerate from zero to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds.
The new X-47 Venom weighs 180 kg in its 7.5 kWh configuration and 195 kg with the 11 kWh battery, compared with 197 kg and 208 kg, respectively, for the corresponding previous-generation versions. This represents weight reductions of 17 kg and 13 kg. The company also claims the new platform supports external DC fast charging at up to 12 kW, with deliveries scheduled to begin in November. Its regular starting price is Rs 3 lakh.
The company selected the X-47 as the first model to receive the platform because the crossover motorcycle has emerged as its largest-selling product.
"We've seen this, 90% of our volumes have become the X47," Rajmohan said, adding that the model attracts buyers across street, sports and adventure motorcycle segments.
Ultraviolette currently sells the F77 performance motorcycle and X-47 Crossover, including their variants. Its upcoming Shockwave is positioned as a lightweight motorcycle for urban commuting and recreational riding, while the Tesseract will mark the company's entry into the electric scooter market.
The Shockwave was earlier announced at Rs 1.75 lakh and the Tesseract at Rs 1.45 lakh. Both products have been redesigned around the company's 100V architecture, with their commercial introductions scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
The Tesseract's launch was previously pushed back after the shift to the new architecture required changes to its battery, controller, battery management and charging systems.
The product expansion comes as Ultraviolette seeks to build on strong sales growth in 2026, although its volumes remain relatively small compared with established electric two-wheeler manufacturers.
According to VAHAN retail registration data, Ultraviolette sold 3,200 electric motorcycles between January 1 and August 12, 2026, compared with 1,559 units during the entire calendar year 2025. Monthly registrations reached a record 694 units in July, an increase of 406% from 137 units in the corresponding month last year.
However, registrations moderated to 536 units in September, placing Ultraviolette behind Oben Electric and Revolt Intellicorp among electric motorcycle manufacturers tracked in the VAHAN data.
Rajmohan said the company was currently working towards a monthly run rate of approximately 1,000 vehicles and expected this to increase to around 10,000 vehicles by October 2027, supported by new products and expanded manufacturing capacity.
"By the same time next year, we should be at about 10,000 vehicles per month," he said.
To support the expansion, Ultraviolette is increasing capacity at its existing manufacturing facility to approximately 50,000-60,000 vehicles annually. It is also developing a new factory in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, with an initial planned annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles, expandable to 500,000.
The company has announced plans to invest around Rs 1,000 crore over five years, including approximately Rs 800 crore in the new facility and Rs 200 crore in existing operations. Both factories are being designed to manufacture multiple products, providing flexibility as demand shifts between motorcycles and scooters.
Ultraviolette is also expanding its distribution network. Rajmohan said the company currently operates around 55 showrooms and expects to increase the number to approximately 100 by the end of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027.
The expansion follows Ultraviolette's $85 million fundraising in September, led by Yali Capital and TDK Ventures, to support manufacturing, new vehicle platforms and international growth.
The company has outlined a broader roadmap comprising four electric motorcycles and two scooters as it seeks to increase volumes in India and expand its presence in overseas markets.
