Ultraviolette has transformed the Indian electric motorcycle segment with the Shockwave. It is an on-road-to-off-road electric bike that combines on-road performance with off-road capability. Ultraviolette offers the Shockwave at a launch price of ₹1.50 lakh for the first 1,000 customers. After this batch, the price will increase to ₹1.75 lakh (ex-showroom).
Stunning Design and Construction
The Shockwave boasts a low-profile design with rally-bike-like looks. Its high-beak-style mudguard adds to its tough looks, while vertically stacked dual-projector LED headlights ensure great visibility. The high handlebar provides better control on difficult terrain. The motorcycle also has a narrow seat, which makes long-distance riding more comfortable.
Performance and Power
An aggressive electric motor drives the Shockwave, providing 14.5 bhp and an impressive 505 Nm of peak torque. This makes the motorcycle reach 60 kmph from 0 in 2.9 seconds. The maximum speed is limited to 120 kmph, but this is an exciting ride for performance enthusiasts. The light weight, at a mere 120 kg, increases maneuverability and power-to-weight ratio.
Battery and Range
Ultraviolette fits the Shockwave with a powerful 4 kWh battery pack. This arrangement gives a 165 km single-charge range, as per IDC testing parameters. Riders will have reliable performance whether cruising in urban roads or taking on off-road terrain.
Latest Features
The Shockwave incorporates top-notch technology to heighten the ride quality. It features a 5-inch vertical TFT screen, which provides distinct ride information and connectivity features. There are various rider aids such as four modes of traction control, six-level regenerative braking, and switchable dual-channel ABS to promote safety and flexibility.
Suspension and Braking
For accommodating various terrains, the Shockwave has a 200 mm travel telescopic front fork and a 180 mm travel monoshock rear suspension. Both suspension units deliver good stability over bad roads. The bike uses 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, fitted with dual-purpose tires. Both ends are equipped with disc brakes to provide sharp stopping power.
Color Variants and Availability
Ultraviolette presents the Shockwave in two bold color schemes:
- Cosmic Black with yellow trim
- Frost White with red accents
Bookings are already open, and deliveries will begin in Q1 2026, along with the Tesseract electric scooter.
Conclusion
The Ultraviolette Shockwave redefines electric motorcycles with its two-in-one capabilities, high-performance motor, and luxury features. Its light weight, strong torque, and sophisticated safety systems make it the perfect option for riders looking for an electric adventure bike. With a competitive introductory price, the Shockwave is poised to shake up the EV market and provide a thrilling alternative to traditional motorcycles.
