Ultraviolette’s upcoming electric motorcycle, the Shockwave, will be built on the company’s newly developed 100V architecture and is slated for launch in the first quarter of 2027. The move expands the company’s new high-voltage architecture beyond the Tesseract electric scooter, which was earlier redesigned around the same platform. Ultraviolette has said the architecture is aimed at improving power delivery, thermal efficiency and charging performance.
The company has also begun setting up a dedicated production line for the Shockwave at its existing manufacturing facility ahead of the launch. The motorcycle will be offered in both single-seat and dual-seat configurations.
“From the outset, we envisioned the Shockwave as a motorcycle that would bring back the pure enjoyment of riding. Bringing our 100V architecture to the Shockwave is an important step in realising that vision. When it launches in Q1 2027, we are certain it will be an exceptionally engaging motorcycle to ride. The Shockwave and Tesseract have been in parallel development over the past year,and work is already underway to set up the Shockwave production line at our existing facility,” said Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder and CEO, Ultraviolette Automotive.
The move to the 100V architecture follows Ultraviolette’s earlier announcement that the Tesseract would also adopt the technology. The Tesseract was originally intended to use a powertrain derived from the F77/X-47 platform, but the company subsequently redesigned the scooter around the 100V architecture, pushing its launch to Q1 2027. The company has yet to disclose the final specification of the Shockwave and is expected to share further details closer to its launch.
The development comes as Ultraviolette gears up for its next phase of growth, with the company also preparing for the commercial rollout of the Tesseract and expanding its manufacturing capacity.
Speaking to businessline in an earlier conversation, Subramaniam said the company was preparing the second phase of its manufacturing facility, which will increase annual production capacity to 1.5 lakh vehicles from the current 50,000-60,000 units.
“The current facility is designed for about 50,000-60,000 vehicles annually. Phase two will take us to 1.5 lakh units a year, largely in preparation for scaling up our scooter portfolio,” he said.
