Met with a rousing reception at its unveiling, the Ultraviolette Shockwave has already amassed over 1,000 orders inside a day since its debut. The dual-sport offering, which will be Ultraviolette’s second motorcycle, was ushered onto stage with a special introductory price tag of Rs 1.50 lakh for the first 1,000 customers. Now that the company has already received 1,000 orders for its so-called ‘funduro’ motorcycle inside 24 hours, it has decided to extend the introductory price offer to the next 1,000 bookings as well, which means the first 2,000 customers will be able to purchase the Shockwave for Rs 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Prices are expected to go up by Rs 25,000 once the introductory offer ends.

The Ultraviolette Shockwave is India’s first electric motorcycle designed for both on-road and off-road use, featuring a lightweight structure. Its slim profile includes a high-beak front and vertically stacked dual-projector LED headlights. The bike has a high handlebar and a single-piece seat influenced by rally bikes, seamlessly integrating with the narrow tail section. For improved off-road control, it is equipped with an off-road-style handlebar. The electric motorcycle is available in two color options: Electric Yellow with Black and White with Red.
With a kerb weight of just 120 kg, the Shockwave promises agility like no other electric motorcycle. With a 4 kWh battery, the Shockwave has an IDC range of up to 165 km on a full charge. It is driven by a mid-drive electric motor sending 14.5 bhp to the rear wheel via a chain drive system, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 60 kmph in just 2.9 seconds. Top speed is limited to 120 kmph.
