If you’re hunting for a pocket‑friendly electric motorcycle, the X‑47 Venom’s ₹2.65 lakh tag and 343‑km range are hard‑to‑beat. The bike rides on a 30‑kW motor that tops out at 155 km/h and launches from zero to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, all tucked into a 195‑kg frame with the larger battery.
The 100‑V VX100 platform underpins every new model, giving the Venom a 25% bump in battery energy density and a lighter powertrain. When you compare it to the Ather 450X (₹2.99 lakh, 160‑km range) or the Ola S1 (₹2.75 lakh, 140‑km range), the Venom packs more miles for a slimmer price, plus a quick 12‑kW DC fast‑charge port that starts loading in under an hour.
This isn’t a one‑off. Ultraviolette plans to launch the Shockwave lightweight motorcycle and the Tesseract electric scooter in Q1 2027, both built on the same VX100 kit. Shockwave is slated at ₹1.75 lakh, while Tesseract falls in at ₹1.45 lakh. The brand is also tweaking its F77 sports bike—already a cult favorite—to use the new architecture, promising a lighter chassis and better thermal management.
Behind the showroom buzz is a massive scale‑up. The company is expanding its Bengaluru plant to 50‑60k units a year and is building a new 250k‑cap factory in Hosur that can grow to 500k. With a five‑year investment of ₹1,000 crore, the focus is on keeping the supply chain tight and the price competitive as the lineup rolls out.
From a policy angle, the shift to a unified 100‑V platform aligns with the government’s EV‑first mandate and the 5 % GST you’ll pay on imported components. Buyers will also benefit from the lower road‑tax rates that come with electric bikes, and the brand’s move to more affordable tiers could push it past the big names in the next few years.
The Venom hit the road on Thursday, and production is slated to start in November, with deliveries rolling out across metro hubs by early 2027. Keep an eye on the Shockwave and Tesseract launches; they’ll be the first two‑wheeler EVs to hit the street that combine the 100‑V tech with a price point that could rewrite the market narrative.
