Hey, bike enthusiasts! Buckle up because the Indian EV scene just got a serious adrenaline boost. Ultraviolette has unleashed its latest electric beast—the Shockwave—and trust us, this one’s got everyone talking! With an introductory price of just ₹1.50 lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 1,000 lucky buyers, this dual-purpose electric bike is here to shake up the market. Miss the early bird deal? No worries, it’s still a reasonable ₹1.75 lakh after that. Launched on March 5, 2025, alongside the Tesseract electric scooter, the Shockwave is designed to blend rugged off-road fun with everyday street practicality. Let’s break it all down—pricing, specs, features, and why this might just be the future of two-wheelers in India!
What’s the Ultraviolette Shockwave All About?
Picture this: a bike that’s light, fast, and built for adventure—that’s the Shockwave for you. Developed by Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive, this is India’s first dual-purpose electric motorcycle. Not your average EV, this thing is a “Funduro”—a fusion of fun and enduro riding that’s equally at home on city roads and rugged trails.
With the Shockwave and Tesseract, Ultraviolette is expanding beyond its already successful F77 sportbike, proving they’re serious about leading India’s electric two-wheeler revolution. And honestly? They’re doing a killer job!
Price & Booking: Affordable Electric Thrills
Let’s get real—pricing is what we all want to know first. The Shockwave starts at ₹1.50 lakh, but this sweet deal is only for the first 1,000 buyers. After that, it jumps to ₹1.75 lakh, which is still a great price for what this bike offers.
Pre-bookings are live now for just ₹999 on Ultraviolette’s official website, and deliveries will kick off in Q1 2026 (between January and March). So, if you’re eyeing this ride, don’t wait too long!
For perspective, it competes with petrol-powered enduro bikes like the Hero XPulse 210, but here’s the kicker—no fuel costs and way lower maintenance. Long-term savings? Yes, please!
Power & Performance: Small Bike, Big Numbers!
Alright, let’s talk numbers because they’re wild. The Shockwave is powered by a 14.5 bhp electric motor, and here’s where it gets insane—it delivers a mind-blowing 505 Nm of torque at the wheel. Yep, five hundred and five Nm! If that doesn’t get your heart racing, maybe this will: it can sprint from 0 to 60 kmph in just 2.9 seconds and boasts a top speed of 120 kmph.
At just 120 kg, this thing is a featherweight champ compared to most enduro bikes, making it super nimble for city rides and weekend adventures alike. Powering all this madness is a 4-kWh battery pack, delivering a solid 165 km range (IDC-certified). No range anxiety here, folks! Plus, knowing Ultraviolette, we can expect fast charging support.
Want to push it further? The bike features multiple riding modes that let you tweak the performance to match your needs—whether it’s for daily commutes, off-road adventures, or pure adrenaline-pumping fun. Expect modes like Eco, Sport, and Off-Road, ensuring you get the most out of this beast in every setting.
Design: Lightweight, Rugged & Ready to Ride
This bike screams adventure. It’s built on Ultraviolette’s new “Funduro” platform, designed for lightweight yet tough roadsters and off-roaders. Some standout design elements include:
- High-beak front end
- Raised fender for rugged vibes
- Rally-style seat
- Slim tail section
- Street-legal registration (so you can ride it anywhere!)
You can snag the Shockwave in two sleek color combos: Electric Yellow with Black or White with Red. Which one’s calling your name?
Suspension & Brakes: Built to Handle Anything
The Shockwave doesn’t just pack power—it’s designed to handle the rough stuff too.
- Front suspension: 37mm USD (upside-down) fork with 200mm travel (great for off-road fun!)
- Rear suspension: Monoshock with 180mm travel
- Brakes: 270mm front disc + 220mm rear disc with switchable dual-channel ABS (turn it off for off-road, keep it on for the streets)
- Dynamic regeneration with 6 levels (because recharging while riding is just smart!)
- Aluminum skid plate to protect the motor and battery on rocky terrains
Wheels & Tires: Ready for Any Terrain
Rolling on spoke wheels—a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear—this setup gives the Shockwave the perfect balance of stability and maneuverability. The dual-purpose tires (90/90-R19 front, 110/90-R17 rear) mean you get grip on trails and smooth rides on pavement.
Tech & Features: Smarter Than Your Average Bike
Ultraviolette didn’t skimp on tech here. The Shockwave comes with:
- Vertical TFT Display (like having a smartphone on your handlebars)
- Bluetooth & e-SIM connectivity (stay connected on the go)
- 4-level traction control (for those slippery roads)
- 6 levels of regenerative braking
- All-LED lighting (dual-projector LED headlights, LED taillights, and indicators)
- Navigation system so you don’t get lost in the wild
- Keyless ignition for that futuristic feel
It’s got brains and brawn—what’s not to love?
What’s Next for Ultraviolette?
This is just the beginning. Ultraviolette has five platforms in the works:
- F (for sportbikes, like the F77)
- S (for scooters—hello, Tesseract!)
- L (for lightweight bikes like the Shockwave)
- X & B (mystery platforms—stay tuned!)
Final Thoughts: Should You Get One?
The Ultraviolette Shockwave is a game-changer. It’s got the speed, tech, and versatility to make both off-road adventurers and city commuters happy. For ₹1.50 lakh (or ₹1.75 lakh later), you’re getting a power-packed, lightweight, tech-loaded electric bike that’s built for the future.
Would you wait until 2026 for this? We think it’s totally worth it!
