Ultraviolette at EICMA: X-47 Venom with radar for A1 costs 8,450 euros

• X-47 Venom: 8,450 euros (approx. 9,480 US dollars), deliveries from early 2027, rideable on an A1 licence
• 41 hp (30 kW) peak output, 235 km city range under WMTC, rear radar as standard
• Tesseract Maxi with 6 kWh battery and radar shown in European spec for the first time, no price yet

Ultraviolette used EICMA 2026 in Milan to launch its new crossover motorcycle in Europe. The X-47 Venom is the first model on the 100-volt VX-100 platform, which the Bengaluru-based manufacturer unveiled in India at the end of October. Price, timing and licence class for Europe are now confirmed as well. Around the Venom, the brand keeps expanding its line-up. This includes a maxi scooter, a lightweight electric enduro and ideas on how riders will communicate with their vehicle by voice and through the helmet in the future.

How much does the Ultraviolette X-47 Venom cost in Europe?

In Europe, the X-47 Venom costs 8,450 euros (approx. 9,480 US dollars) at its introductory price. The first motorcycles are due to be delivered in early 2027.

The gap to its home market is large. In India, the Venom launched on 22 October 2026 at an introductory price from 2.65 lakh rupees (approx. 2,490 euros / 2,790 US dollars), which only applies to the first 5,000 customers. The European price is therefore more than three times as high. The figures cannot be compared one to one, however, because India gets four variants with different batteries and equipment. Which battery size the European Venom will get is not stated in the show documents.

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Zero Center AG sells the Venom. In total, Ultraviolette works with seven importers in Europe. France is handled by Pink Mobility, Italy by Zero Center Italia. Rhino Electric Motors is responsible for Spain and Portugal, Elektrorider for Hungary and the Danube region. MotoMondo UK covers Great Britain, while MotoMondo BV takes care of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Ireland.

Why can the X-47 Venom be ridden on an A1 licence?

In Europe, the X-47 Venom is approved for the A1 licence class even though its electric motor briefly delivers 41 hp (30 kW). For electric motorcycles, classification is based not on peak output but on rated continuous power, which is measured over 30 minutes and may not exceed 11 kW for A1.

Full power is therefore only available for short periods, for example when accelerating or overtaking. According to Ultraviolette, 0 to 60 km/h takes 2.7 seconds and 0 to 100 km/h 5.9 seconds. Top speed is 155 km/h.

The manufacturer quotes torque of 550 Nm (approx. 406 lb-ft), measured at the rear wheel. This figure already includes the drivetrain ratio, so it cannot be compared with the crankshaft torque of a combustion engine. Ready to ride, the Venom weighs 206 kg (454 lbs), and ground clearance is 200 mm. Ultraviolette sees it as a crossover that combines two motorcycle classes and is meant to cope with different surfaces.

What range does the X-47 Venom have and how is it charged?

Under the European WMTC test cycle, the X-47 Venom covers 235 km in city traffic. It is charged via a Type 2 connector, as commonly found at public AC charging stations.

In India, Ultraviolette quotes 343 km for the version with the large battery. That figure comes from the Indian IDC cycle, and the two test procedures cannot be compared directly.

The 1.6 kW charger is built into the motorcycle. Ultraviolette describes it as the air-cooled on-board charger with the highest power density in the world. It is said to deliver full power even at ambient temperatures of 45 to 50 degrees Celsius and is also protected against overvoltage and electromagnetic interference. Anyone who wants to charge faster can buy an external 3 kW booster. The manufacturer has not yet given charging times for the European version, and the documents also contain no information on DC fast charging.

What is inside the new VX-100 platform?

VX-100 is a 100-volt architecture on which Ultraviolette plans to build further models with different battery sizes and power levels. The Venom is the first production motorcycle on this basis.

At the heart of the platform is the SRB-11 battery. It is said to offer up to 20 percent higher energy density and twice the cooling capacity. According to the manufacturer, heat is dissipated up to 50 percent faster so that performance remains stable even in hot conditions and under prolonged load. The battery housing is made of cast aluminium and is protected to IP67 against dust and temporary immersion.

Ultraviolette relies on several layers of safety. A pyrotechnic fuse cuts the circuit within microseconds in the event of a serious fault. It is designed according to the principles of functional safety that apply above all to electric cars. The battery management system also monitors voltage, current and temperature of every single cell, and each cell has its own fuse.

The Venom is powered by the new UV Lightfury motor. It uses soft magnetic composites, SMC for short, which come from the aerospace industry. They are intended to make the motor lighter and reduce energy losses.

How does the X-47 Venom radar warn of hazards?

A 77 GHz radar sensor in the tail monitors traffic behind the motorcycle up to 200 metres away. It is tuned for two-wheelers, works up to 20 degrees of lean and compensates for the vehicle’s roll and pitch.

If a rear-end collision is imminent, the warning appears in the mirrors and the hazard lights switch on at the same time to alert following traffic. The system also reports vehicles in the blind spot, as well as cars closing in fast in the adjacent lane to overtake. If the rider starts a lane change, the lane change assist warns of a possible collision. Ultraviolette calls the system the first of its kind in this segment.

There are also front and rear cameras that record as a dashcam and use a Sony IMX 307 sensor. The rear camera image also helps when manoeuvring in tight spaces. The switchable two-channel ABS comes from Bosch, complemented by four-level traction control and stability control (DSC).

The Venom is operated via the 7-inch Interface X touchscreen, which also runs navigation from Mappls. The three riding modes are called Glide, Combat and Ballistic, and cruise control works in all three. Regeneration, i.e. recovering energy when braking and coasting, can be adjusted in ten levels. The motorcycle is connected via an app and receives software updates.

What does the Tesseract Maxi offer for Europe?

The Tesseract Maxi is an electric maxi scooter with a 6 kWh battery and 20 hp (15 kW) peak output, which Ultraviolette is showing in European specification for the first time at EICMA. The manufacturer has not yet announced price, range, top speed, weight or market launch for Europe.

Technically, the scooter borrows a lot from the Venom. It also has Hypersense radar and a built-in dashcam. Together with the Omnisense mirrors, which house multi-colour LED indicators, it warns of vehicles in the blind spot, during lane changes, when being overtaken and of collisions. Traction control, regeneration and a 7-inch touchscreen are also included.

Fast charging is said to refill the battery to 80 percent in less than an hour. The scooter rides on 14-inch wheels, and there is room for 32 litres under the seat.

For longer trips outside the city, Ultraviolette offers accessories. These include a touring screen, hand guards, rear luggage and mounts for side cases.

What else is Ultraviolette showing at EICMA besides the Venom and Tesseract?

The stand also features the Shockwave electric enduro and the F77 and F99 sports motorcycles. Ultraviolette did not announce new prices for these models in Milan.

Shockwave

The Shockwave is a lightweight enduro with which Ultraviolette wants to recall the era of light, fun-focused two-strokes. Up to 505 Nm (approx. 372 lb-ft) reaches the rear wheel, and it is said to go from 0 to 60 km/h in 2.9 seconds. It rolls on spoked wheels, 19 inches at the front (tyre 90/90 R19) and 17 inches at the rear (110/90 R17).

F77

Ultraviolette launched in Europe with the F77 last year. It delivers a peak of 41 hp (30 kW), 13 hp (9.5 kW) continuously, and puts 500 Nm (approx. 369 lb-ft) to the rear wheel. It needs 2.8 seconds from 0 to 60 km/h. Its battery holds 10.3 kWh and is good for up to 231 km in city traffic under WMTC. With the booster, charging from 20 to 80 percent takes 2.5 hours.

F99

The F99 is an electric superbike with 400-volt technology, an exoskeleton and a carbon battery housing, plus a liquid-cooled drivetrain. It is said to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds and to 200 km/h in under 10 seconds. In India, it holds the national records for the fastest quarter mile by an Indian motorcycle at 10.712 seconds and for the highest top speed at 258 km/h.

Violette A.I. and AI helmets: how Ultraviolette wants to connect rider and motorcycle

Ultraviolette is working with voice AI provider SoundHound AI. Together, the companies want to explore how riders can communicate with their motorcycle by voice while on the move.

At the show, the manufacturer presented the Violette A.I. assistant, which responds to the word “Violette”. Voice commands can be used to change riding modes and start navigation. The system also answers questions from the digital owner’s manual, for example on the correct tyre pressure or on maintenance work. In future, pre-ride checks, riding statistics and maintenance reminders are also to be available by voice. The assistant runs on the Interface X display, and the data is to be processed directly in the vehicle (edge computing).

Ultraviolette has also brought three helmet concepts. The Star Vue combines the helmet with augmented reality, meaning digital information projected into the field of view. The Fang 01 has a shell in the form of an exoskeleton that is meant to interact with its surroundings. The Decibelle has a more fashion-oriented design and an integrated HD audio system. There is no information on whether and when these will become production helmets.

Ultraviolette EICMA 2026: where does the brand want to go in Europe?

Ultraviolette wants to evolve from a maker of sporty electric motorcycles into a globally active mobility and technology company. That is how co-founder and CEO Narayan Subramaniam describes the significance of the show. After the expansion in Europe, North America, Latin America and Southeast Asia are set to follow.

CTO and co-founder Niraj Rajmohan says the vehicle is being developed as one integrated system. Because the VX-100 platform is modular, the Venom’s innovations are later to find their way into other models and vehicle classes as well.

Ultraviolette was founded in 2016 by Subramaniam and Rajmohan. Its investors include TVS Motor, Qualcomm Ventures and TDK Ventures. According to the company, Ultraviolette was the first Indian electric vehicle manufacturer to receive European homologation for its motorcycles. It now exports to 20 countries, including Germany, Italy and Switzerland. With the Venom, another electric motorcycle from the 2026 EICMA wave of new models joins the list, due in dealerships in 2027.
