In a remarkable show of consumer enthusiasm for electric mobility, Ultraviolette Automotive has revealed that its newly launched X-47 Crossover electric motorcycle has garnered over 3,000 bookings in just 24 hours since hitting the market. The surge in interest has prompted the company to extend its attractive introductory pricing, originally limited to the first 1,000 customers, to a much larger pool of the first 5,000 buyers.Priced at an ex-showroom rate of Rs 2.49 lakh, the X-47 positions itself as a premium yet accessible option in India’s burgeoning electric two-wheeler segment. This extension of the introductory offer underscores Ultraviolette’s commitment to making advanced electric performance more attainable, especially as demand far exceeds initial expectations.
Power and Performance: A Game-Changer on Two Wheels
At the heart of the X-47’s appeal is its robust powertrain, delivering 40 BHP and a torque-rich 100 Nm from its electric motor. This setup catapults the bike from 0 to 60 km/h in an adrenaline-fueled 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 145 km/h—figures that rival many conventional petrol superbikes while emitting zero tailpipe emissions.Buyers have two battery choices to suit their riding needs: a standard 7.1 kWh pack providing an impressive 211 km of IDC-certified range, or the larger 10.3 kWh option that stretches to 323 km on a single charge. These ranges make the X-47 a viable daily commuter as well as a weekend warrior, bridging the gap between urban practicality and long-haul adventures.
Pioneering Safety: The World’s First Radar-Integrated Motorcycle
What truly sets the X-47 apart is its trailblazing integration of automotive-grade safety tech into a two-wheeler. Ultraviolette claims the X-47 is the world’s first radar-integrated motorcycle, featuring a sophisticated 77 GHz long-range rear radar system. This innovation powers a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) tailored for riders, including:
- Blind-spot monitoring: Detects vehicles in hard-to-see areas during lane changes.
- Lane change assist: Provides haptic and visual alerts for safer overtaking.
- Overtake alert: Warns of approaching traffic from behind.
- Rear collision warning: Brakes potential impacts by notifying the rider in real-time.
This radar tech isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a leap forward in motorcycle safety, potentially reducing accidents in India’s chaotic traffic conditions.Complementing the radar is an optional advanced dashcam system, equipped with dual 1080p, 30 fps IMX307 HDR wide-angle cameras for crystal-clear front and rear recording. Footage is stored on a secondary 5-inch touchscreen display with 32GB of onboard memory (expandable to 256GB via microSD). Connectivity is seamless, with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for over-the-air updates, navigation integration, and smartphone pairing.
Rider-Centric Features for Ultimate Control
Ultraviolette hasn’t skimped on the essentials either. The X-47 boasts a comprehensive array of rider aids designed for confidence-inspiring handling:
- Regenerative braking with dynamic regen: Recaptures energy during deceleration, extending range while offering customizable intensity levels.
- 3-level traction control: Adapts to road conditions, from wet streets to spirited track days.
- Dynamic stability control: Maintains composure during cornering and sudden maneuvers.
- Dual-channel ABS: Ensures precise braking without wheel lockup.
- Hill Hold: Prevents rollback on inclines, ideal for city stop-and-go traffic.
With its crossover design blending supermoto agility and adventure-ready ergonomics, the X-47 appeals to a wide audience—from urban professionals seeking eco-friendly commutes to thrill-seekers craving electric torque.
A Bright Future for Electric Mobility in India
Ultraviolette’s rapid booking success signals a maturing appetite for high-performance EVs in India, where government incentives and improving charging infrastructure are accelerating adoption. The extension of introductory pricing to 5,000 units could further democratize access to this cutting-edge machine, potentially solidifying Ultraviolette’s position as a leader in premium electric two-wheelers.Deliveries are slated to commence later this year, with interested riders encouraged to book via Ultraviolette’s official website or authorized dealerships. As the company scales production to meet this overwhelming response, the X-47 isn’t just redefining electric motorcycles—it’s electrifying the ride for thousands of new owners.
