EV Motorcycle Company Ultraviolette Inks Deal For European Distribution

India’s electric motorcycle industry has been heating up fast—and now, it’s beginning to make waves well beyond its home market. One of the frontrunners of this movement, Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette, has just announced its official entry into Europe via a new distribution deal with MotoMondo, covering the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

It’s a significant step not just for Ultraviolette, but for India’s broader EV push. While Chinese and European brands have so far led the global conversation around electric mobility, Indian companies—especially in the two-wheeler segment—are rapidly catching up.

With high local demand and a growing ecosystem for EV tech, manufacturers like Ultraviolette are now looking outward, targeting regions that are increasingly open to lightweight, electrified alternatives.

Ultraviolette’s entry into Europe will be spearheaded by the F77 Mach 2 Recon, its flagship electric motorcycle. Designed to offer a blend of performance, design, and tech, the Mach 2 Recon features a 10.3 kWh battery pack, a peak output of 40.5 horsepower (30.2 kW), and 100 Nm of torque, putting it roughly in the ballpark of a mid-spec ICE naked bike. Top speed is rated at 155 kilometers per hour (96 mph), and Ultraviolette claims a maximum range of 323 kilometers (201 miles) under ideal city conditions.

The F77 isn’t just about the numbers, though. The bike gets a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, dynamic ride modes, switchable regen, and OTA updates—features that help it appeal to a tech-savvy rider base. It also rides on fully adjustable suspension, with 17-inch alloy wheels, disc brakes front and rear, and dual-channel ABS.

As for pricing, Ultraviolette has announced an introductory on-road price of £8,499 (roughly $10,500 USD) for pre-orders made before June 30, 2025, after which the price increases to £9,399 (about $11,600 USD). That puts it right in the mix with several mid-range electric bikes currently available in Europe—and makes it a compelling value proposition given the spec sheet.

In terms of performance and positioning, the F77 Mach 2 Recon sits close to models like the Zero S and LiveWire S2 Del Mar. While the Zero S offers slightly higher range in some configurations, the F77 undercuts it on price. Compared to the LiveWire Del Mar, the Ultraviolette offers similar urban-focused performance at a significantly lower cost. Riders looking for an affordable, high-tech electric motorcycle with decent range and solid features may find the F77 an attractive alternative to more established names.

Narayan Subramaniam, Ultraviolette’s CEO and co-founder, described the partnership with MotoMondo as a major milestone in the brand’s international journey. “MotoMondo’s track record with premium motorcycle brands gives us the confidence to deliver a seamless experience—on both the product and service front.” Likewise, MotoMondo Managing Director Jan Ykema echoed the sentiment, noting that the F77’s blend of performance and clean energy aligns with growing demand for eco-conscious alternatives in Europe’s urban and suburban markets.

It’s important to note that Ultraviolette is backed by some serious heavyweight investors including TVS Motor Company, Qualcomm Ventures, and Zoho Corporation. The company designs and builds its bikes in India, with the long-term vision of exporting to key global markets.

As of the moment, there’s still no word on a US release, but Ultraviolette’s expansion into Europe is a clear signal: India’s new-gen motorcycle brands are gearing up to go global—and they’re bringing some serious firepower with them.
