In just a few years, the Bengaluru-based manufacturer has evolved from an innovation-driven startup into one of the most exciting players shaping the future of high-performance electric mobility, both in India and increasingly worldwide.
Recent milestones show a company not just launching products, but building an entire ecosystem around performance, connectivity, and rider experience. Here’s how Ultraviolette is accelerating its trajectory.
A $45M boost: fueling global expansion and next-gen platforms
Ultraviolette recently secured $45 million in its ongoing Series E round, led by Zoho Corporation and Lingotto, one of Europe’s largest investment management firms.
This investment is a strong vote of confidence in the company’s growth trajectory and global aspirations. The funds will help scale production, strengthen battery R&D, push performance benchmarks even higher, and support new product platforms as Ultraviolette prepares for aggressive expansion in India and beyond.
With the F77 and the newly launched X-47 showcasing their design and engineering prowess, this financial milestone gives Ultraviolette the firepower to scale at an entirely new level.
Ultraviolette lands in the UK: launch of the F77
The F77 has officially arrived in the United Kingdom, marking a major step in Ultraviolette’s international rollout.
At Motorcycles LIVE in Birmingham, one of the UK’s premier motorcycling events, Ultraviolette not only launched the performance-oriented F77 but also unveiled a glimpse of the future. The brand showcased:
- X-47 Crossover equipped with radar
- Tesseract scooter platform
- Shockwave lightweight motorcycle platform
Together with strategic partner MotoMondo, Ultraviolette is now firmly planting its flag in one of the world’s most influential motorcycling regions, highlighting how Indian innovation is stepping confidently onto the global stage.
UV Crossfade: where carbon fibre meets connected riding
At EICMA, Ultraviolette also introduced something entirely unexpected: the UV Crossfade, a carbon-fiber, tech-infused helmet that brings rider safety and connectivity into a new era.
Built around Cardo’s mesh communication system and Ultraviolette’s proprietary smart tech, the Crossfade creates true vehicle-to-rider and rider-to-rider communication. It offers:
- Carbon-fiber shell (1380g)
- Real-time radar alerts (with X-47)
- Real-time vehicle communication (with F77)
- Dynamic Alert Sequencing (D.A.S)
- Cardo mesh rider network
- Smart Connect with Ultraviolette vehicles
- Global safety certifications (DoT, ISI, ECE 22.06)
The Crossfade isn’t just a helmet, it’s a core building block in Ultraviolette’s Connected Rider Ecosystem, now available across India and Europe.
A blistering expansion: 6 UV Space Stations in 2 days
If there was any remaining doubt about Ultraviolette’s execution speed, its retail expansion should end it.
The company opened six UV Space Stations in Mumbai and Pune within just 48 hours. These locations bring the F77 and X-47 experience closer to two of India’s most passionate motorcycling communities.
The rollout includes:
- Mumbai: Andheri, Vashi, Thane
- Pune: Baner, Wakdewadi, Kharadi
What’s even more remarkable is the pace of national expansion. In September 2024, Ultraviolette had only one location: Bengaluru. Today, they stand at 40 locations across India, all built in just over a year.
Few motorcycle manufacturers anywhere in the world have expanded so aggressively, so quickly, while maintaining such a strong focus on design, technology, and premium customer experience.
A brand in motion
Guy Salens -THE PACK: “With major funding secured, new global markets activated, a high-tech connected ecosystem forming, and an unprecedented retail expansion, Ultraviolette is proving that it is far more than another EV player. It is becoming India’s most dynamic electric motorcycle manufacturer, and one of the most ambitious globally. For enthusiasts watching the future of performance motorcycling unfold, Ultraviolette isn’t just a company to follow. It’s a company redefining what’s possible.”
