Ultraviolette Shockwave To Launch In Q1 2027 With New 100V Architecture

New electrical setup in the Ultraviolette Shockwave enables better power delivery, improved thermal efficiency and faster charging for the lightweight offering

Ultraviolette has confirmed that the Shockwave will launch in the first quarter of 2027 with its new 100V electrical architecture. The lightweight electric motorcycle will be offered in both single-seater and dual-seater configurations and production line preparation has already started at the company’s existing manufacturing unit in Bengaluru.

It must be noted that a new large scale facility called the BIGGA Factory in Shoolagiri, Hosur, Tamil Nadu is also being developed by the brand. The new electrical setup is intended to support stronger power delivery, higher thermal efficiency and faster charging. Ultraviolette has already assigned the same 100V architecture to the Tesseract enabling the company a shared electrical base across two products designed for very different riding formats.

Shockwave takes a lighter and more playful approach. Ultraviolette describes it as a FUNDURO and says the motorcycle draws inspiration from the raw character of classic two-stroke machines. The company’s focal point is on a more direct riding feel and stronger rider engagement instead of chasing headline output figures.

The 100V move sits at the heart of the Shockwave’s engineering package. Higher operating voltage can support stronger power transfer and reduce electrical losses, and Ultraviolette also links the architecture with better heat management and shorter charging times. Those gains matter more on a lightweight motorcycle where weight, cooling and packaging carry greater influence over how the motorcycle rides.

Ultraviolette has developed the Shockwave and Tesseract simultaneously over the past year. Work on the Shockwave production line is now underway inside the company’s current facility which helps position the motorcycle firmly on course for its Q1 2027 market introduction. Commenting on the occasion, Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder and CEO of Ultraviolette, said

The Ultraviolette Shockwave uses a 4 kWh battery and products around 14.5 hp. It also boasts an electric motor with 505 Nm measured at the rear wheel. It has a claimed IDC range of 165 km, a 120 kmph top speed and a zero to 60 kmph acceleration time of 2.9 seconds with kerb weight at 120 kg. Suspension travel stands at 200 mm at the front and 180 mm at the rear, and braking hardware includes a 270 mm front disc and 220 mm rear disc. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels with switchable dual-channel ABS, four-level traction control and six levels of regenerative braking.
