The inclusion of ADAS tech in two-wheelers highlights the rapid development in two-wheeler technology, with a prime focus on rider safety. ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), a safety feature which was once limited to the premium segment, is now available in a lot of mass-market cars. In fact, it has become an important selling point for four-wheelers in India. The two-wheeler market, on the other hand, mostly relies on simpler safety features like traction control and ABS. However, a few brands have started offering a basic suite of ADAS features in their flagship models. In this article, we will look at the 3 two-wheelers available in India with ADAS.As India’s two-wheeler sales hit 18 million units in FY25, safety innovations like ADAS are gaining traction amid rising urban traffic chaos and regulatory pushes for advanced rider aids. With Continental set to roll out radar-based ARAS systems—including blind-spot detection and adaptive cruise control—for local manufacturers, the segment is poised for broader adoption. For now, electric pioneers Ultraviolette and Ola are trailblazing with radar and camera tech, blending futuristic smarts into everyday commutes.
Ultraviolette X-47 Crossover: Radar-Powered Adventure Redefined
Ultraviolette, the home-grown electric two-wheeler manufacturer, recently launched the all-new X-47 Crossover at a starting price of Rs. 2.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The all-electric adventure motorcycle gets the Hypersense ADAS technology as standard, which uses a 77GHz rear-facing radar system. It provides essential safety aid with blind spot alerts and rear collision detection capability, with a tracking range of up to 200 metres.
This marks India’s—and arguably the world’s—first radar-integrated electric motorcycle, elevating the X-47 beyond mere performance to proactive guardianship on the road. The Hypersense suite scans surroundings in real-time, alerting riders to potential hazards via haptic feedback and the bike’s 7-inch TFT display. Complementing this are nine levels of regenerative braking with dynamic modulation and three-level traction control, ensuring stability across Glide, Combat, and Ballistic riding modes.
Powering the adventure is a 10.3 kWh battery delivering an IDC range of 323 km, with a peak torque of 70 Nm from its mid-drive motor—enough for a 0-60 km/h sprint in 2.6 seconds. Priced competitively at an introductory ₹2.74 lakh for the top-spec Desert Wing variant, the X-47 targets thrill-seekers eyeing rivals like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Electric. Deliveries kick off in Q4 2025, promising to inject ADAS smarts into off-road escapades.
Ultraviolette Tesseract: Segment-First Radar Magic on Scooter Wheels
The Tesseract e-scooter was launched earlier this year in March at a price tag of Rs. 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom). The all-electric maxi-scooter comes with a front and rear radar system, with integrated dashcam, offering features like blind-spot detection, collision alerts, lane change assist and more. This is a segment-first feature and also a first for an Indian electric scooter.Ultraviolette’s Tesseract isn’t just a scooter; it’s a tech showcase wrapped in urban agility. The radar-assisted front and rear dashcams, paired with Omnisense mirrors and Violette AI, provide 360-degree vigilance—detecting obstacles ahead and alerting via vibrations or audio cues. Lane change assist nudges riders away from blind spots, while collision warnings brake autonomously if needed, all processed through a seamless ADAS OS that adapts to dynamic road conditions.
At its core lies a 20.1 bhp mid-drive motor, zipping to a top speed of 125 km/h on a 6 kWh battery pack for a claimed 261 km range. An introductory price dip to ₹1.20 lakh for the base 3.5 kWh variant broadens appeal, undercutting premium scooters like the Aprilia SR GT while outpacing them in smarts. With deliveries underway since Q1 2025, the Tesseract is already turning heads in metros, proving ADAS can thrive on two wheels without compromising scooter’s nimble charm.
Ola Electric S1 Pro Sport: Camera-Driven Speed with Smarts
Ola Electric revealed the S1 Pro Sport in August this year, announcing a price of Rs. 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom) for the brand’s most powerful scooter. It gets a camera-based ADAS suite with features like blind spot alerts, adaptive cruise control, collision warnings and traffic sign recognition. The front camera will also double up as a dashcam.Debuting Ola’s MoveOS 6 platform, the S1 Pro Sport integrates ADAS as a game-changer for mass-market EVs, using a forward-facing camera for real-time analysis. Adaptive cruise maintains safe distances in traffic, while front collision warnings and blind-spot alerts flash on the 7-inch touchscreen—potentially averting 30% of urban mishaps, per industry estimates. Traffic sign recognition adapts speed limits on the fly, and the dashcam logs rides for insurance perks.
Under the hood, a 13 kW motor catapults it to 125 km/h, backed by a 4 kWh battery for a 320 km IDC range. Sport-tuned suspension and revised aerodynamics make it the “sportiest Ola yet,” ideal for highway hauls. At ₹1.49 lakh introductory pricing, it edges out the Ather 450X and TVS iQube in value, with deliveries ramping up post-Diwali 2025. Ola’s aggressive ecosystem—over 4,000 hyperchargers nationwide—ensures ADAS uptime without range anxiety.
A Safer Horizon: ADAS as the New Norm for Two-Wheelers
These launches signal a pivotal shift: ADAS, once a four-wheeler luxury, is democratizing safety for India’s 200 million two-wheeler riders. Yet challenges persist—erratic roads and monsoon glare test radar and camera limits, as noted in recent ADAS Show 2025 discussions. Still, with penetration at just 1-2% now, experts forecast 15% adoption by 2030, driven by mandates and affordable tech.
Ultraviolette and Ola aren’t just selling vehicles; they’re scripting a narrative where innovation shields the everyday commuter. As more players like Suzuki eye ADAS-infused Gixxers, the Prancing Horse of Indian roads might soon roar a little safer—and smarter.
