How Ultraviolette Built a Lighter, Swifter, Smarter X-47 Venom to Put India on the World Map

The Bengaluru- based E2W maker Ultraviolette has launched the X-47 Venom last Thursday, an electric motorcycle that it says is lighter, quicker and smarter than anything it has built before. The first 5,000 buyers get it at an introductory ₹2,65,000, and the price starts at ₹3 lakh after that. Bookings opened on launch day, and deliveries begin in November. Europe is next: the bike launches in 20 countries there, with a formal unveiling at EICMA in Milan on 3 November.

Why does a motorcycle company keep talking about aeroplanes? Because that is where its heart is. “We started Ultraviolette to put India on the world map,” says Mr. Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and Co-founder, Ultraviolette. The company calls itself “technology in motion”, and a large part of its R&D team comes from aviation.

Think about what every rider wants – more power, but not more weight. More torque, but under control. Quick acceleration, but without losing range. Electric bikes make these trade-offs harder, so Ultraviolette builds safety, mechanics, aerodynamics and electronics together, as an aircraft maker would. The company’s CTO Mr. Niraj Rajmohan says new ideas often reach aerospace first, and chips used in data centres today may power bikes tomorrow. Teams inside the company work on separate projects with two-to-three-year timelines, and the Venom’s new VX100 platform is what happens when several of them finish together. Mr. Subramaniam says the company built it in two years, a job that usually takes five to seven years.
