The electric market in India had a massive surge of adrenaline. Ultraviolette Automotive has finally taken the wraps off its highly anticipated Tesseract electric motorbike, and the specifications suggest that it could actually be up to company’s claim that it is “the world’s most advanced scooter.”
Let’s get to the point It’s not your standard electric motorbike. The Tesseract is a beast with a maximum performance that is 20.1 BHP (15 kW) and can reach 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and can reach speeds of 125 kmph. What really makes heads turn is the range of as high as 261 kilometers on a single charge using the highest-end battery of 6 kWh. This is enough to silence the loudest users of range anxiety.
Ultraviolette President Narayan Subramaniam wasn’t mincing words when he stated that Ultraviolette’s mission was at “put a damn spacecraft on 2 wheels.” Sure, it’s bold talk however, the Tesseract’s specs sheet confirms the boldness.
Radar Tech and AI Assistant? Yes, Really
The place where the Tesseract is truly different from the ever-growing electronic scooter market is through its technological package. This is the first electric scooter in India that has dual radar systems as well as cameras at both ends, which allows features normally found in a luxury car, but not two-wheelers.
The radar technology powers detects blind spots and provides alerts for overtaking collision warnings, blind spot detection, and assistance with changing lanes. In conjunction with the feature Ultraviolette refers to as “Omnisense mirrors” – smart mirrors that provide visual warnings regarding potential dangers the Tesseract increases safety for riders to a new level in the scooter category.
The central feature in the cabin is a touchscreen with a 7-inch screen which connects to Violette AI, the company’s artificial intelligent assistant. This system does more than just manage the navigation or ride planning, it constantly examines the scooter’s components and will send maintenance alerts as well as security alerts to your mobile phone, even when your vehicle is not in use.
Some forum members have begun to debate whether this technology is required on scooters however, early reservations indicate that a lot of users are interested in the idea of having safety features that resemble those in cars that are on wheels.
Battery Options and Charging
Not everyone requires a huge range and, therefore, Ultraviolette has three battery capacities:
3.5 Kilowatts: Enough enough for 162km (IDC range)
5.0 KWH: Stretches from 220km
6.0 kWh The eye-catching 261 km range
The company’s exclusive SRB-10 battery packs are equipped with sophisticated thermal management, as well as multiple security systems to avoid overheating, electrical shorts and physical harm.
The thing that could be as impressive is the charging speed the battery can be charged in. Ultraviolette claims that the battery can charge from a flat state and up to around 80% of its capacity in less than an hour, using the fast charger. It’s enough to take a break for coffee before going back to work.
They stand behind their battery technology, Ultraviolette offers a standard guarantee that lasts 3 years or 75,000km and an extended warranty which extends that warranty to five years or 100,000 kilometers. This is a huge vote of trust in their battery technology.
Design That Demands Attention
The Tesseract does not try to blend into the crowd. Its bold styling is characterized by an apron that is wide and houses dual LED projector headlamps surrounded with floating DRLs. The sculpted body lines and muscular panels create a lively style that’s more like sports bikes than conventional scooters.
Fashion does not come at the cost of the practicality of the vehicle unlike other scooters. There’s a massive 34-liter storage area under the seat which can accommodate a full-face helmet. The first wheels in the category to measure 14 inches (the largest in the segment) are alloy and are mounted with 110-section front tires and 140-section rear ones which offer greater stability than those standard scooter wheels.
The color choices are also bold: Stealth Black for the stylish cyclist, Sonic Pink for those seeking to stand out, Desert Sand for a high-end earthy hue along with Solar White (coming later) for those who prefer minimalists.
Smart Pricing Strategy
Ultraviolette has developed an interesting method of costing the Tesseract:
First 10,000 customers (introductory): Rs1,20,000 (introductory)
The next 50,000 customers: Rs1,30,000
Regular pricing thereafter: Rs.1,45,000 (all prices inclusive of showroom)
This tiered strategy is designed to reward early adopters and helps establish the Tesseract solidly in the premium category. Pre-bookings are available for $999 and deliveries are expected to start in the first quarter of 2026.
At this price it appears that the Tesseract is positioned to compete with established competitors like that of the Ola S1 Pro+, Ather 450X, and TVS iQube. With its robust features and abilities, Ultraviolette clearly believes they’re giving enough worth to justify the higher price.
Beyond the Sticker Price
The real value may depend on the operational cost. Ultraviolette claims that a hundred rupees worth of electricity could offer approximately 500 miles of range, which is a mile equivalent to 500 kilometers per liter in terms of conventional usage.
With estimated per-kilometer operating costs of Rs0.22 The math begins to look favorable to the Tesseract despite the higher initial expense. Take into account the lower costs of maintenance (fewer moving components to repair or replace) and the government-backed incentives available for electric vehicles so the cost per mile could beat comparable petrol-powered alternatives in the long run.
Growing Footprint
Ultraviolette has been steadily expanding its retail presence throughout India. It began as a one-city operations in Bengaluru has now expanded to 13 cities and two retail formats: fully-fledged “Space Stations” offering the full Ultraviolette experience, and specialized “Space Pods” for test rides and other basic interactions.
The expansion is a sign of the company’s dedication to creating the company’s footprint across the country and offering easy access points for prospective customers to see the Tesseract in person before making a purchase.

The Road Ahead
With over 50,000 reservations booked The Tesseract seems to have made an impact for tech-savvy urban commuters searching for a mix of design, substance and sustainable development.
The potential success of this model could possibly accelerate India’s shift to electric mobility by proving that electric vehicles can compete with or even surpass their traditional counterparts not only in terms of environmental performance but also in terms of performance features, features, and the rider experience.
The real test will be when the rubber is on the pavement in 2026. Can the technology operate exactly as it is claimed? Are there any chances that Ultraviolette be able to meet its ambitious range promises in real-world conditions? Can riders see worth in features such as radar-based safety systems as well as AI assistants?
In the event that these are true, then the Tesseract could be a way to change the expectations of riders who ride electric two-wheelers. This could trigger shock waves throughout an industry that is going through significant change.
As of now, Ultraviolette has thrown down an extremely difficult challenge to other companies. The race to develop India’s top electric motorbike is heating up and all competitors will have to be on top of their game to keep up with what Tesseract promises to bring.
