Ultraviolette Debuts 100V Platform With 11 kWh Battery, X-47 Venom Leads the Charge

Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive just raised the bar for Indian electric two-wheelers. The company unveiled a new 100-volt electrical architecture called VX-100, and the first machine to carry it is the X-47 Venom — a crossover motorcycle that the firm bills as the quickest Indian-built bike on sale.

At the heart of the platform sits three in-house components: the SRB-11 battery pack, the Light Fury motor, and a matching motor controller. Ultraviolette says the SRB-11 is the biggest two-wheeler battery in India, storing 11 kWh.

What the New Hardware Brings

Compared with the SRB10 pack used in the original X-47, the new unit packs 25 percent more energy density, cools twice as fast, shaves 15 percent off its weight and charges at double the speed. It is also, per the company, the only Indian e-2W battery that accepts DC charging up to 12 kW.

The Light Fury motor borrows design cues from aviation. It uses soft magnetic composites and a trapezoidal coil topology, revs to 9,000 rpm, and is 25 percent lighter yet twice as power-dense as the outgoing motor. The controller, meanwhile, runs silicon carbide transistors, weighs 2.5 kg and delivers triple the power density of the previous generation.

The X-47 Venom comes in four trims — standard, Plus, Recon and Recon+. The first two share a 7.5 kWh pack, while the Recon and Recon+ get the 11 kWh unit with 12 kW charging. The Plus and Recon+ variants add a 1.6 kW on-board charger.

Key Specs: 7.5 or 11 kWh battery · 227 km or 343 km IDC range · up to 12 kW DC charging · 30 kW motor · 0–100 km/h in 5.9 s · 155 km/h top speed

Range figures land at 227 km for the smaller battery and 343 km for the 11 kWh version, both measured on the IDC cycle. A standard 30 kW motor pushes the bike from standstill to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, and top speed is quoted at 155 km/h.

Tech That Wouldn’t Look Out of Place on a Car

The feature list reads like something from a four-wheeler brochure. Cruise control, a 7-inch IP67 touchscreen with navigation, a 35 W USB-C port, a rear-camera parking assistant and front and rear dashcams all come as standard. A 77 GHz long-range rear radar enables four rider aids: blind spot monitoring, lane change assist, overtake alert and rear collision warning.

Pricing starts at 300,000 rupees (around €2,800), though early buyers get a break. The first 5,000 customers receive a 35,000-rupee (roughly €330) launch discount, dropping the entry point to 265,000 rupees (about €2,500). Ultraviolette currently runs 55 showrooms in India and wants that number at 100 by the first quarter of 2027.

Europe Gets Its Turn at EICMA

The X-47 Venom will make its European debut at EICMA 2026 on 3 November, with deliveries on the continent targeted for early 2027. Ultraviolette already sells in 20 European countries, but so far only the F77 has been offered there — moving somewhere between 500 and 700 units since sales began in July–August 2025.

Production of the F77 and X-47 happens at a Bengaluru plant with capacity for 30,000 units, expandable to 50,000–60,000. A new facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu — nicknamed BIGGA — will eventually handle 250,000 units a year, with room to double that. CTO and co-founder Niraj Rajmohan said the Hosur line will build the Tesseract premium scooter and the Shockwave enduro motorcycle, both on the VX-100 platform, and both headed for Europe too.

As for a fully faired machine, Rajmohan stayed quiet on timing but hinted that an F99 announcement will follow the Tesseract launch, slated for Q1 2027. That bike is expected to use a 400-volt architecture with a 90 kW, 200 Nm motor, a 180 kg kerb weight, a 0–100 km/h time of three seconds and a top speed around 265 km/h. Production specs may shift, of course.
