Ultraviolette finalises the wheels for the upcoming F77, designed with Indian conditions in mind
Ultraviolette has posted a new video on its social media handles claiming that it has almost finalised the wheels of its upcoming sport EV, F77. The shortlisted wheels get a petal shaped design and they almost look the same as the ones seen on previous prototypes.
The Bengaluru based EV startup claimed that it had to design every single component from scratch to create its performance electric bike. Attention to detail was the key ideology in the design and testing processes of its maiden product.
The F77 is slated for launch in India this year and the bike will reportedly command a price tag in the ballpark of Rs. 3 lakhs (ex-showroom). The startup has claimed that the performance EV’s real-world range would be around 200 km which looks pretty impressive.
The TVS-backed company first came up with the F77 in November 2019 and since then it’s continuously developing the bike. The Bengaluru-based EV maker claimed that, over the years, it has updated almost every aspect of the F77.
As of now, the sport EV’s headlight bezel has been updated. The digital dash comes with custom fonts and graphics and a 4-button module to operate its functions. The battery management system has also been improved from a safety perspective.
Having fitted additional structural elements to increase the stiffness of the F77 chassis, the EV maker admitted that the bike will weigh more than before. What’s more, the electric bike will have less power than the previously claimed 33.5 HP.
It is not known if the EV’s torque rating of 90 Nm and top speed of 150 km/hr have changed too. But, the brand claims the power difference will not be outright noticeable. In the first year, Ultraviolette only plans to produce 15,000 units of the F77. But, production will be increased to 1.20 lakh units over a period of time.
