Ultraviolette F77 E-Motorcycle To Be Exported To Europe From Mid-2024

Along with revealing the rapid F99 race bike, electric two-wheeler start-up Ultraviolette Automotive also announced the European launch of its F77 e-motorcycle at EICMA 2023. The battery-powered sport bike, which was launched in India at the end of 2022, has made its way to customers in its home market since the start of this year, and will reach Europe in the second quarter of 2024, the start-up has confirmed. The names of the countries in which the F77 will first be made available hasn’t been disclosed yet, but Ultraviolette has said the motorcycle will cost between €9,000 – 11,000 (INR 8 lakh to 9.80 lakh), which is roughly twice its retail price in India (INR 3.80 – 4.55 lakh, ex-showroom). The start-up will open customer registrations for the European market on November 15.

In Europe, the F77 will be available only in long-range form, equipped with the larger 10.3 kWh SRB10 battery pack. The difference will be in trim, as the motorcycle will be offered in Recon and Limited variants.

The long-range F77 has a range of up to 307 kilometres (IDC).

Aside from the difference in paint schemes (Recon will be available in Laser, Airstrike and Shadow, while Limited is the ‘Space Edition’ livery), the two variants differ from each other in power output (38.8 bhp for the Recon vs 40.5 bhp for the Limited), acceleration times (Limited is two-tenths quicker to both 60 kmph and 100 kmph from a standstill) and top speed (Recon is 147 kmph, Limited is 152 kmph).

It’s still in the process of making the motorcycle available across India, as it is currently on sale in just a few cities.
