Bengaluru-based EV maker Ultraviolette Automotive has announced that its upcoming Shockwave ‘funduro’ motorcycle will use a new 100V architecture. In June, we reported that the Tesseract e-scooter, the brand’s first product to be confirmed to use a 100V architecture instead of the 60V architecture on the F77, was delayed. Now, Ultraviolette has mentioned both vehicles will launch by Q1 of 2027.
All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Bengaluru.
- Shockwave and Tesseract were first revealed in March 2025, with a promised Q1 2026 delivery at the time
- The underlying architecture has changed since then
- Full specs and final prices for both are yet to be revealed
Ultraviolette Shockwave and Tesseract
Both the vehicles have changed markedly since the 2025 reveal
To recap, Ultraviolette had first launched the Shockwave and the Tesseract in March 2025 and at that time, deliveries for the Tesseract started at Rs 1.20 lakh – which has now become Rs 1.45 lakh, and the Shockwave started at Rs 1.50 lakh and has now become Rs 1.75 lakh. Both were supposed to launch in the quarter of 2026, but have been delayed. Ultraviolette finally cracked a solution by way of a new 100V architecture on the Tesseract, and they have now confirmed that the Shockwave will also use the same architecture. The revised delivery timeline is now Q1 2027. With a 20.4hp power from the 6kWh battery pack, the Tesseract was rated for an IDC range of 261km. The Shockwave made up to 14.5hp (its battery capacity is yet to be revealed) and an IDC range of 165km. Both vehicles were intended for different use cases, and garnered plenty of attention with their impressive spec-sheets and prices.
With the announcement, Ultraviolette has mentioned that manufacturing for the Shockwave is currently underway at their existing plant in Hosur, and that it will be available in both single- and dual-seat variation. Narayan Subramaniam, co-founder and CEO of Ultraviolette, claims that the move to the new architecture is an important step in realising their EV vision. Full spec-sheets for both vehicles are still awaited, with the company promising to reveal more details close to the launch. However, with all the changes both the vehicles have gone through since the unveil, it’s likely that they’ll carry a higher price tag when they become available for purchase.
