It is surely worth it! Innovation should always be appreciated rather than doubting! Suggest improvements to Ultraviolet and force them to make those changes!
Imagine spending more than a current rc390 gp edition and waiting 4hrs (that's the boost charger normal charger takes 8hrs lol) just to run your bike which has no gears and technically is a scooter with bike panels and frame. Surely if you like it you should buy it cuz one should buy any bike cuz he wants it not cuz one can afford it, if you love it so much test drive it and surely buy it but this bike won't sell cuz you are spending more than even some 300-400cc more sporty and truly sporty machines.
I don’t think so people get this, but the pricing on this bike is extremely smart. It keeps a lot of stupid people from buying it and since it so expensive they not only sell more and make more profits, but also create a brand image. KTM has lost its brand image and they don’t want that to happen to theirs by offering it to the cheap market. Also it’s price lies between the extreme high end good performs bikes and lower end 500cc bikes which makes sense as it almost a goldilocks zone.
Kudos ultraviolette. An amazing product for their first try. I'd say try making a Neo retro motorcycle with more relaxing ergos. Will appeal to a whole lot more people.
Eff me, I would love it if this bike were available in the States at anywhere near that price. I know that's expensive for India but that's dirt cheap for a bike here and compared to something like a Sondors Metacycle this seems like a way better value and it's also much better looking. Kudos to India for creating such a great-looking bike.
Option for both would be better maybe. Keyless would lead it open to glitches like in the Ola and few more. Have keyless unlocking like in the Honda Activa
This bike with the given price tag should ideally have provided cornering ABS and dual disc up front. Also there is huge design difference between the front and rear. While the front looks sporty and badass, the rear looks like a 200NS.
Yes, given the price point and it being an electric motor bike with tremendous amount of torque, braking does feel weaker. With around 5 Lacs ex-showroom, it should come with Cornering ABS and Dual disc. EVs are still not as practical considering the first time high cost and EV chargin mess.
The price is truly good. Why simply because of mainly three reasons. 1) from 2019 5 years have been gone and take 6% as nominal inflation as per year. 2) how often you saw production version surpasses the prototype that promised. 3) after all of that the price of batteries, motors and wire are gone up by few percentages. Truly the product is very well made. By only giving nominal software update all the problems can be fixed. 💖💖🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
Even if the bike is balanced , the weight will always be an issue .. we dont know what kind of situation we end up in ..but I think its weight is a bit much for a sports bike
I'd say, yes, the weight is too much for a bike of this performance level. But the weight itself is not a problem - most litre-class superbikes are at the 200kg ballpark and some sport tourers are even heavier. Unfortunately, the weight is the cost of having so much battery - no way around it with current technology
I daily drive a 2021 zero fxs now. Planning on getting an f77 when I get back home but I'm not sure if it's worth the hype considering my zero is literally half the weight and produces 46hp with a top speed of around a 130 km and has a swappable battery pack. I hope the electric motorcycle sector in India gets more competitive soon so that they'll keep innovating more.
Really ? you're comparing a motorcycle costing 10,000USD with only a 3.6kWh battery + extra$$ battery pack to a vehicle with more than double the battery capacity and half as expensive .. and you think they need to innovate more .. sure
I have heard a lot of flak regarding this bike's price tag, but I believe the price is actually reasonable one. Considering the EV revolution has just started in india.
When you have likes of olas just simultaneously catching fire, this is a pretty small concern. And moreover batteries don’t catch on fire just like that.
Just curious, when I tested the Ola scooter, what caught me off-guard is that even with a slightest dab of the brake, the accelerator stops responding. I don't remember Ather doing that (its been a long time since I rode one, a good few years at least). Does the F77 do the same? I am asking cuz it can get a bit unnerving in the corners.
No it does not. That is an annoying and somewhat dangerous thing that the Ola and pretty much all Chinese EVs do. Thankfully, the Ather, iQube, Tork and now the UV don't do this.
Yeah it's actually really weird but I would like to ask one thing, one is supposed to cut accelerator when braking right? That's like rule 101. I always cut the accelerator when applying the brake.
Why not, like the conventional EVs as well as their ICE counterparts, have the rear brake on the left hand side instead of leaving that part empty making it look and feel weird too.
look at it as something new. Change is inevitable but I understand why you'd want that in the first place. The best we can do is ride this bike and then give our honest feedback to the OEM so that they can make necessary changes in the future.
Lack of break pedal is more challenging to overcome than the lack of clutch and gear. Already people are calling it a scooter on steroids, the brake pedal is the only thing having any sort of similarity with a conventional bike.
Most people buying this bike are going to be ICE bike owners who have gotten accustomed to the pedal arrangement. I think this is a good move by ultraviolette
@@vishi9842 let the average folks talk what they want .. a scooter or what so ever .. they only know how to complain they won't buy these and ultraviolet knows that

Kudos to UV for manufacturing a great product.. I am sure once production ramps up they'll be able to decrease cost.. Good job guys.. Can definitely see years of hard work on it
Some of you guys are complaining about the price. Uk if you check on surron ultra bee and talaria cost a sumptuous £6k Rs 6lakhs And the range is less only 90km Trust me ultraviolet F77 is the real game changer that gives you awesome specification.
That's the thing it wasn't if someone wanna buy this bike they will buy only this thing, like how someone want to buy a Tesla will always buy a Tesla despite the fact that Hyundai makes better car. Kinda like the supermeteor this will be a premium bike that upper middle class people will buy
For Fixelblity I would say Swapping battery are best option, E Scooter or Bike, or atleast 350km minimum range so the effort of charging should be reduced
A compact SUV size EV wont give that much range genius. Increasing battery capacity is not how you make EVs mainstream. Fast charging and adequate number of chargers will make EVs mainstream.
Swappable batteries are a hassle bro. Do you know how heavy they are lol. Better to ask the govt to start an EV super charging grid if they want to bring EV to the masses. I'd rather stop every 50-80Kms to recharge for 5 mins while having a cup of tea and a smoke.
Swappable batteries are not usable at all. They weigh a lot (15-20kg), no regular person is going to lift that much weight every time, take it all the way to their apartment on a regular basis
What would prove detrimental to customers is aftersales services and also cost-based battery replacement options after those said 5/8 years of warranty.
My 2 cents: I don't have opinions on someone who "wants" to pay a large sum of money for an expensive bike. Its their choice I respect that. But the argument of "Don't look at the cost price as high because in the long run you will save more money with this electric bike than a petrol bike" is the most naive and under-thought statement I ever heard. 4 Lacs now is worth a lot more than 4 lacs 5-10 years later. On the same argument that ultraviolet is making, I say spend 2 lacs for a 250-300cc IC engine bike and invest the rest 2 lacs in market. See what happens after the "long term". Even established multinational companies like triumph and KTM start their innings at low prices to capture the market before raising prices based on demand. Just saying.
I think these days riders need both comfort and speed. Only an all round package would attract people into buying especially at this price point. A lot of comments here mentioning we need to support kind of gives an impression of failure product in terms of sales. Years of hardwork but it can succeed only if sales numbers are good. A maxi scooter with adequate space seating comfort and range 250+kmpc can also be thought of.
Ultraviolette has a lot of work ahead to do. There is a great deal of skepticism when it comes to EV vehicles even now, and the price is a always a deterrent for many, and I was one of them too. Although I have Husq Svart on me, I do see a lot of Revolt vehicles around me too. I heard about Ultraviolette first time from my friend, and this is certainly a pretty cool looking and very interesting bike. If the manufacturers can keep improving and find a niche within mass production while finding a reasonable price bracket, they could certainty gain the traction needed. It's a bold step to take, but like someone said in the comments, innovation like this needs to be supported rather than doubted. We are in for big things ahead that's for sure.
My biggest concern with fast EVs is that there is no sound there is no soul and there is no noise. Our Indian roads have people who cross roads like gazelle and they wont notice you coming fast because you dont produce a sound they can fear and thus you will see a lot of crashes
Naah according to me...4.5 lakh is a lot of money for spending on a electric scooter...same money would get me SM 650 or a continental which is more bike for your money and it would last longer than this ultra priced violet
I am going to buy it because i do not know how to ruse a motorcycle. I ride scooters. I am bad at clutch and using feet for rear brakes. This is perfect for me
I would prefer following specs in bike that makes economic sense as well as fun. 1) top speed 120kmph probably 200kg max weight. 2) 20 kwh battery. Max power 24kw. 3) this would gives estimated range of 450-500km at 60kmph and lesser at higher speed. 4. Price 5.5L max cheaper is better. At 220km real mileage of ultraviolet at 80kmph I would rather save more and get Tiago ev medium range
I've been saying this for years that lithium ion batteries don't make the cut. They are hazardous, explosive and most importantly are heavy af. Using them for two wheelers makes no sense. The only promising battery tech for the future is graphene based batteries but they will take time. Unpopular opinion: EVs are better suited for cars and rickshaws not bikes or scooters Yeah the sudden acceleration is nice and I've experienced that but the mechanical feel of a bike cannot be replaced. Current Ev tech is more like kicking the can down road rather than the claimed global revolution. It's just not enough.
LOL have you heard of TESLA? the most valuable automotive company in the world. They've sold over 3 million performance EVs built on lithium ion NCA batteries.
@@forgottenhero8163 Only recent technological advancements in battery tech which has been implemented is LFP batteries which are used in Tesla cars. But lithium is an environmental hazard thats why I was saying we need more research into carbon based batteries. Now stfu.
Batteries die after 8 years is a myth. Does car engines stop working after warranty period? Ofcourse there will be reduction in performance and efficiency, that's expected
@@amaljoe367 li-ion batteries do die. There is a marked performance decrease. There was this article about a Nexon that had it's entire battery bank replaced , under warranty by Tata after ~1.5 L kms. That battery bank was 8Lakhs. This is the biggest shortcoming of an EV.
Is there any hill hold assist feature. I'm struggling a lot even with my OLA S1 while waiting in signals. By mistake if you stopped at a slight slopes, you have to hold the breaks until green.
If we compare the F77 with the RC390 for mostly city commute or the track days, it scores well saving huge money on fuel and emissions Excellent innovation
@@forgottenhero8163 Compared to a 300-400cc class IC bike that has 22-32 kmpl, a 25km daily commute 5 days a week will save 25k annually. These would have sold like hotcakes had they managed to price it 35-40k cheaper.
@@oldbot64 it's still a very significant benefit so cost centric performance buyers will consider it as a point. Believe me even the upper middle class people who buy this are budget conscious.
I was reading about the Fame II subsidy. I might be wrong, but only the companies with more than 50% india procured components will get the subsidy, there are no battery limitations anymore now.
@@forgottenhero8163 ex factory mean manufacturing cost kinda thing? What if UV says manufacturing cost and ex factory cost is 1.49L, and for 3 lakhs more you get the software package, thus they can get the 50k subsidy, making the bike little bit more accessible. cz as far as I know this is the costliest india manufactured bike.
Completely unrelated, but has anyone noticed he talks like Trisha Talkanova from the family guy? No offense to the guy. this is not a hate comment, just an observation. Great video.
The biggest mistake they done is not using type 2 charger socket , which is used by tata ev. If they did use it , this bike would have been better for long touring. We could use tata infrastructure. Etc . Goverment need to do something and make a socket standard for all ev so we can have good infrastructure
Waiting for people to start comparing this with the RE and saying it's cheaper etc etc. Good bike, but realeased in a market dominated by cheapos. I hope it does good.
Man, I request motorcycle producers to consider from the viewpoint of couples riding it too... This bike is damn, but if your partner is on the pillion side, it would not be so convenient, is what I think ..
I feel like, Companies like ultraviolet will try to open new market, and then long established companies like tvs yamaha will come up with better product and take over...

Most affordable e. Offer a range of 100 to 150 km . Does this give 323 on road ?
4:21 Whoa that really sounds like the Tie Fighter from Star Wars
What about water washing...?
I was waiting for you Mr Rishav to come with this bike
What is the working voltage of the battery... 8 hrs charging is too long ...
Spectacular design ❤
I save the extra money after buying continental GT and use it for petrol expenses nearly 1lakh rupee
Bengaluru is the right place to sell innovative products 👍🏻
Overall charging per unit cost?
I think they must give sound options like revolt coz bike with that styling must sound exciting...
1:56, this moment, I already knew it was
nandhi Hills...
Saw one on the road recently and it looks faaantastic! I’d love to get one but not right now, I still love my fossil fuels 😂
I've been saying this for years that lithium ion batteries don't make the cut. They are hazardous, explosive and most importantly are heavy af. Using them for two wheelers makes no sense. The only promising battery tech for the future is graphene based batteries but they will take time.
Unpopular opinion: EVs are better suited for cars and rickshaws not bikes or scooters Yeah the sudden acceleration is nice and I've experienced that but the mechanical feel of a bike cannot be replaced.
Current Ev tech is more like kicking the can down road rather than the claimed global revolution. It's just not enough.
🙌
LOL have you heard of TESLA? the most valuable automotive company in the world. They've sold over 3 million performance EVs built on lithium ion NCA batteries.
@@forgottenhero8163 Lol do u have reading comprehension? I specifically mentioned two wheelers. Battery tech is still in its infancy.
@@vishi9842 go check UVs battery day video. you are living under a rock my friend.
@@forgottenhero8163 Only recent technological advancements in battery tech which has been implemented is LFP batteries which are used in Tesla cars. But lithium is an environmental hazard thats why I was saying we need more research into carbon based batteries. Now stfu.
But, would the batteries last past the 8 year warranty?
Batteries die after 8 years is a myth. Does car engines stop working after warranty period? Ofcourse there will be reduction in performance and efficiency, that's expected
@Leo changing the battery on vehicles would be very costly unlike mobilephones
@@amaljoe367 li-ion batteries do die.
There is a marked performance decrease.
There was this article about a Nexon that had it's entire battery bank replaced , under warranty by Tata after ~1.5 L kms.
That battery bank was 8Lakhs.
This is the biggest shortcoming of an EV.
@Leo True, but the cost will be enormous. That's the main drawback.
@Leo Check Tesla. 10years later, 95%+ capacity. get your facts straight.
Is there any hill hold assist feature. I'm struggling a lot even with my OLA S1 while waiting in signals. By mistake if you stopped at a slight slopes, you have to hold the breaks until green.
lol ather has it
How's it performs on bad pitches?
If we compare the F77 with the RC390 for mostly city commute or the track days, it scores well saving huge money on fuel and emissions
Excellent innovation
Yup. EVs are 90% efficient. 30 paisa per km to ride. It's almost ridiculously inexpensive.
@@forgottenhero8163 Compared to a 300-400cc class IC bike that has 22-32 kmpl, a 25km daily commute 5 days a week will save 25k annually. These would have sold like hotcakes had they managed to price it 35-40k cheaper.
People looking for performance are willing to pay for it. Those buyers don't have fuel economy at the top of their priorities.
@@oldbot64 it's still a very significant benefit so cost centric performance buyers will consider it as a point.
Believe me even the upper middle class people who buy this are budget conscious.
@@shenanigans4177 if there was FAME subsidy for these bikes, it would be cheaper by 60K. thank the Govt of India for that.
Honestly it looks cool 🔥🔥
Well done Ultraviolet
Can a 5'4 height person be able to ride this ultraviolet f77 ????
I was reading about the Fame II subsidy. I might be wrong, but only the companies with more than 50% india procured components will get the subsidy, there are no battery limitations anymore now.
there is clear 1.5L cap on ex-factory price. read the law.
@@forgottenhero8163 ex factory mean manufacturing cost kinda thing? What if UV says manufacturing cost and ex factory cost is 1.49L, and for 3 lakhs more you get the software package, thus they can get the 50k subsidy, making the bike little bit more accessible. cz as far as I know this is the costliest india manufactured bike.
Completely unrelated, but has anyone noticed he talks like Trisha Talkanova from the family guy? No offense to the guy. this is not a hate comment, just an observation. Great video.
Are you really tall.. or is the bike really small??
cant beat the Ather's sound tho..real headturner
LOL
Does it have traction control system
When are you reviewing ? Street triple RS 2023 models ?
Within the next month :)
Can we do wheelie on this thing?
The biggest mistake they done is not using type 2 charger socket , which is used by tata ev.
If they did use it , this bike would have been better for long touring. We could use tata infrastructure. Etc .
Goverment need to do something and make a socket standard for all ev so we can have good infrastructure
Does anybody know what kind of liceanse you need to ride this beast.?
Waiting for people to start comparing this with the RE and saying it's cheaper etc etc. Good bike, but realeased in a market dominated by cheapos. I hope it does good.
Already doing it lol.
An electric scooter dress differently. But what's the thrill on a motorcycle without the induction sound?
3-4 lakh is RC390 segment.... 0 to 100 in 8 secs lol
It's comparable to the RC390 in performance . By the time you change gears on that RC390. this bike is ahead.
Can I ride the F77
with my MCOWG driving license?
Yes definitely. It doesn't fall into the category of MCWG
EV’s might be quick but ICE’ s are fast. EV’s are best initially but in the end it’s always gonna be ICE winning the game
Only plus point is it's gearless for the rider. Better petrol geared bikes available
That can be a pro or con depending on who you ask lol.
We need to support this firm.. it's been funded by tvs, Zoho and Dulquer Salman
the f77 is the real hero. Zero fs to give about those guys
Man, I request motorcycle producers to consider from the viewpoint of couples riding it too...
This bike is damn, but if your partner is on the pillion side, it would not be so convenient, is what I think ..
Which one sports petrol bike cost a lot less than this? Like 0.
We need a video of Kawasaki ninja vs ultraviolet drag race /speed comparison
what if i get into an accodent and the battry ignites ??
I feel like,
Companies like ultraviolet will try to open new market, and then long established companies like tvs yamaha will come up with better product and take over...
TVs have already invested in ultraviolet. They will simply invest more and purchase the bike and company and sell it as TVs products in future.
Go kart track you see in this video is "Meco kartopia"
