This Electric Sportbike Just Went On Sale In Germany, Can It Make Waves In the US?

India’s electric motorcycle market has been enjoying steady momentum over the past few years. What began as a scooter-centric push has evolved into something much more ambitious. Established names like TVS and Bajaj have stepped into the EV arena with purpose, while startups like Ather and River continue to carve out space with tech-savvy offerings.

Then there’s Ultraviolette, a newer name that’s been quietly turning heads with its futuristic F77 electric motorcycle. We’ve talked about this brand before, and it looks like their journey of global expansion is going pretty well. The latest milestone? They're officially in Germany.

Ultraviolette launched its F77 Mach 2 lineup at Reload.Land 2025, Berlin’s electric mobility showcase. This marks the brand’s formal entry into the European market. Partnering with distributor Zero Center AG, Ultraviolette will now sell the F77 across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.

There are two variants on offer: the F77 Mach 2 Recon and the F77 Superstreet Recon. Both are certified for road use across the EU under the A1 motorcycle license class, which opens the door to younger riders and urban commuters.

Performance-wise, the F77 is no slouch. With a peak output of 30 kW (around 40 horsepower) and 100 Nm (around 73 pound-feet) of torque, it delivers brisk acceleration and a top speed of 144 kilometers per hour (around 89 miles per hour). The 10.3 kWh battery provides up to 231 kilometers (around 144 miles) of range under WMTC standards. Tech-wise, it’s fully loaded: Bosch dual-channel ABS, multiple levels of regenerative braking, traction and stability control, and Ultraviolette’s own Violette AI platform that ties it all together.

Here’s where it gets interesting. While the F77 Mach 2 starts at around Rs 299,000 in India (about €3,300 or $3,550), European buyers will pay a premium. Early-bird pricing runs until August 8, 2025, with the Mach 2 Recon coming in at €8,990 (around $9,700), and the Superstreet Recon at €9,290 (roughly $10,030). After that, regular pricing bumps up to €9,990 (approximately $10,780) and €10,390 (about $11,210), respectively.

The jump in price isn’t surprising. Between EU certification, VAT, logistics, and import duties, there’s a lot baked into those figures. But even at that premium, the F77 still undercuts many high-end European EVs on performance and style.

So what’s next for Ultraviolette? Now that Germany’s in the bag, it’s fair to assume we’ll see more EU markets come online soon—maybe France or the UK next. As for the US? That’s trickier, but not impossible. With its hyper-naked-inspired design and high-spec tech, the F77 might just find an audience among American urban riders looking for something fresh.

Either way, one thing’s clear: Ultraviolette isn’t just exporting any old electric motorcycle—they’re exporting a statement.
