Bengaluru-based electric mobility startup Ultraviolette Automotive has launched the X-47 Venom electric motorcycle alongside a new 100V VX-100 platform. The motorcycle is priced at Rs 2.65 lakh under an introductory offer, with deliveries scheduled to begin in November 2026. The X-47 Venom is the first motorcycle built on Ultraviolette’s new VX-100 architecture. The company said the platform is designed to improve performance, energy efficiency, charging speed and safety while reducing vehicle weight. Bookings for the motorcycle open on October 22, with the introductory price applicable to the first 5,000 customers. The vehicle will be available across India through Ultraviolette’s UV Space Stations. The X-47 Venom offers an IDC-certified range of 343 km, a peak power output of 30 kW (40 hp) and a top speed of 155 kmph. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 kmph in 2.7 seconds and from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds. The motorcycle delivers 550 Nm of torque at the wheel and has a kerb weight of 180 kg, which is up to 20 kg lower than that of the previous-generation platform, according to the company. The motorcycle supports 12 kW DC fast charging and comes with a 1.6 kW onboard charger. Ultraviolette claims it is the only electric two-wheeler in India to support 12 kW DC fast charging. “The X-47 Venom brings these advances to life, combining distinctive design with deeper engineering capabilities and technology that enhances the riding experience,” said Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and co-founder of Ultraviolette. The VX-100 platform integrates the company’s SRB-11 battery technology, UV LIGHTFURY motor and a next-generation motor control unit. Ultraviolette said the battery technology offers up to 20% higher energy density and twice the cooling performance. An optimised thermal management system is designed to dissipate heat up to 50% faster. The battery pack also features a pyro-fuse designed to isolate the electrical circuit within microseconds when a critical fault is detected. It works alongside a battery management system that monitors cell-level voltage, temperature and current, as well as individual cell fuses. The motorcycle features a 77 GHz rear radar system under the company’s UV Hypersense technology. The system supports blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assistance, overtake alerts and rear-collision warnings. Other features include a seven-inch TFT touchscreen, cruise control, park assist with a rear-camera feed, Mappls-integrated navigation and connectivity through the VIOLETTE A.I. system. Alongside the motorcycle, Ultraviolette has introduced B-MAX, a reusable rider safety vest designed to extend its safety features beyond the vehicle. The company claims the vest provides 86% force attenuation and can be reused up to five times. Commenting on the motorcycle’s engineering, Niraj Rajmohan, CTO and co-founder of Ultraviolette, said the VX-100 architecture, battery technology, lighter motor and motor control unit had been developed as an integrated system to improve power delivery, efficiency, thermal performance and safety. The modular VX-100 platform is also designed to support different battery capacities, vehicle configurations and power levels across Ultraviolette’s future product portfolio. Founded in 2016 by Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan, Ultraviolette develops electric vehicle platforms and battery technologies. The company is backed by investors including Lingotto, TDK Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, Zoho Corporation, TVS Motor Company, Yali Capital and Speciale Invest. Ultraviolette said it has expanded its presence to 20 countries across Europe. The company plans to launch the X-47 Venom in Europe on November 3 at EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy.
