Ultraviolette says it made multiple upgrades to the battery architecture. The company moved to a 21,700 format from the previous 18,650, which resulted in higher volume optimisation. The battery pack also now gets an aluminium casing, while its weight has also increased by a significant 50 kg. In comparison, the Gen 1 version had three battery packs that were detachable and portable, as opposed to the now fixed unit.

The different variants of the F77 have different specifications along with different range. The details are given in the table below. The company also offers two types of chargers - standard and boost, which charge the motorcycle at a rate of 36 km per hour and 70 km per hour, respectively.

The motorcycle has a nice, edgy and a futuristic design, with lots of cuts and creases. Ultraviolette says that there are no visible screws and bolts on the entire motorcycle, which speaks a lot about the design. The company also offers a signature light design on the F77.

Ultraviolette says the F77 has been through thousands of kilometres of testing including extensive simulation, dyno and on-road testing. The company has also put the battery through accelerated ageing and thermal stress testing.
