Bangalore-based EV manufacturer Ultraviolette has officially unveiled the F99, India’s first all-electric supersport motorcycle. With futuristic design, race-spec performance, and cutting-edge aerodynamics, the Ultraviolette F99 electric bike marks a bold step forward for the Indian EV market.
An Evolution From F77 to F99: Designed for Speed
After making waves with the F77—the brand’s first electric motorcycle—Ultraviolette has now revealed the F99, a bike focused on high performance, racing, and global electric supremacy. The F99 concept was first showcased at the Auto Expo and later at EICMA, where it grabbed attention with its sleek, aggressive lines and carbon-fiber-inspired fairing.
While the F77 was designed with urban riders in mind, the F99 is built purely for performance enthusiasts. The company calls it a “supersport born for the track.”
Electric Powertrain: Performance Meets Innovation
The Ultraviolette F99 electric bike boasts peak power output of 50 kW (67 horsepower) and an impressive top speed of 265 km/h, making it the fastest electric motorcycle ever developed in India. The bike features:
- Advanced air-cooling system integrated into the fairing
- Regenerative braking for energy efficiency
- High-performance lithium-ion battery
- 0–100 km/h in under 3 seconds (expected)
The F99 also introduces active aerodynamics, including electronically controlled winglets and airflow channels that adjust based on speed and riding position. These features are inspired by Formula 1 and MotoGP technology.
Aerodynamics & Design: Built Like a Jet Fighter
What sets the F99 apart visually is its aviation-inspired design philosophy. The carbon-fiber composite body panels, sharp winglets, and low drag profile all contribute to superior performance. According to Ultraviolette, the aerodynamics aren’t just for looks—they actively manage airflow and stability at high speeds.
The forward-leaning riding posture, sporty clip-on handlebars, and rear-set footpegs reinforce its track-ready nature. It’s a clear message: this is not your average commuter EV.
Smart Features and Rider Tech
Staying true to Ultraviolette’s high-tech DNA, the F99 is expected to come equipped with:
- Multi-level traction control
- Ride modes (Rain, Sport, Track)
- Smart dash with Bluetooth and navigation
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates
- Cloud-connected diagnostics and data logging
- These features will make it one of the most intelligent motorcycles available in the EV segment—not just in India but globally.
Launch Timeline and Price Expectations
The F99 is currently in the prototype stage, with a commercial launch expected in late 2025 or early 2026. Ultraviolette F99 electric bike has stated that the production version will retain most of the performance DNA while being road-legal and homologated for global markets.
While no official price has been confirmed, industry estimates suggest the F99 may be priced around ₹5–6 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it in the premium EV motorcycle segment.
Market Impact and Global Ambitions
Ultraviolette has already begun expansion into international markets starting with Europe and Southeast Asia. The F99 is expected to serve as a flagship product that showcases India’s EV engineering prowess on a global stage.
It will likely compete with high-performance electric bikes from brands like Energica, Zero Motorcycles, and even some ICE-powered supersports, thanks to its incredible specs.
