Ultraviolette Shockwave: Price, Range, Features, Specifications and Latest Updates

One of the most exciting electric motorcycles unveiled in India is 2023 Ultraviolette Shockwave. Ultra-lightweight electric dual-sport motorcycles for urban roads, as well as off-road adventures, are the Shockwave from the Bengaluru based EV manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive. The Shockwave features aggressive styling, a high-performance electric motor, sophisticated rider aids and range that could change the game for Indian riders looking to move into an electric machine.

The Shockwave is not a garden-variety electric commuter bike, but rather has been developed as a street-legal enduro. It’s a combination of lightweight off road bikes and modern EV tech, making it an interesting prospect in the Indian two wheeler space.

Ultraviolette Shockwave Overview

Design and Styling

Designed as an enduro motorcycle specifically, the Ultraviolette Shockwave is not just about styling. Most electric motorcycles are really built for urban commuting, but the Shockwave is rolling machine and it gets long-travel suspension, wire-spoke wheels in some ugly frame-locked colors to match bodywork, and a high-mounted front fender.

The motorcycle appears to draw design cues from lightweight dirt bikes and rally machines. It has an aggressive futuristic look with sharp body panels, LED lighting setup, a minimalist tail section and high riding position.

Battery and Electric Motor

The Shockwave is driven by a 4 kWh battery pack and 10.8kW electric motor combo.

It puts out around 14.5 bhp of power and is rated at a beefy 505 Nm of wheel torque, which translates into brisk acceleration off the line and response when required. It’s as quick from a standstill as any other electric motorcycle because you have peak torque right from the get-go.

Ultraviolette has decided to go with performance over efficiency. The motor produces just enough power to get you through the city, on the highway and onto some light off-road fun while keeping a usable range of riding.

Performance

Performance is one of the greatest strengths of the Shockwave.

Key Performance Figures

• Top Speed: 120 km/h
• 0-60 km/h: 2.9 seconds
• Peak Power: 14.5 bhp
• Wheel Torque: 505 Nm
• Weight: 120 kg

This makes the Shockwave one of the fastest electric motorcycles in its class.

The immediate torque delivery of electricity transported through a lithe chassis should be a thrill to ride. The acceleration equals that of many bigger-bore petrol motorcycles, while the low weight improves on-road and off-road handling.

Riding Range

Range still is what electric vehicle shoppers care most about.

More famously, Ultraviolette claims a single-charge IDC-certified 165 km. But in the real world, depending on riding style and conditions, dirt or pavement, speed, weather conditions, whether you’re using Sport mode  you’ll probably see a bit less than that.

The claimed range should be acceptable for most riders, serving daily commutes and weekend rides, even the occasional adventure trip.
