The Indian electric vehicle (EV) market is buzzing with innovation, and the latest entrant is set to crank up the excitement even further. Ultraviolette Automotive, the Bengaluru-based trailblazer known for its high-performance electric motorcycles like the F77 and F77 SuperStreet, has unveiled the X-47 Crossover. This isn’t just another e-bike—it’s the world’s first production motorcycle with integrated radar technology, blending the raw aggression of a naked streetfighter with the rugged versatility of a purpose-built adventure tourer. Priced aggressively at an introductory ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 1,000 customers—rising to ₹2.74 lakh thereafter—the X-47 is poised to disrupt the premium adventure segment, where demand for high-performance two-wheelers has surged in recent years.
A Fresh Spin on Electric Adventure
Over the past few years, India’s two-wheeler landscape has transformed dramatically. Internal combustion engine (ICE) giants like Royal Enfield, KTM, and Bajaj have flooded the market with adventure bikes such as the Himalayan, 390 Adventure, and Dominar, capitalizing on riders’ thirst for exploration amid improving road infrastructure and a growing middle-class wanderlust. Yet, the electric segment has lagged in this space—until now. Ultraviolette’s X-47 steps in as a crossover that doesn’t compromise on thrills, safety, or practicality, targeting urban commuters who dream of weekend escapes and long-haul tours.
Born from the ‘X’ concept showcased at EICMA 2024, the X-47 draws inspiration from fighter jets, boasting a sharp beak-like front fairing, a tall stance with 200mm ground clearance, and upright ergonomics for all-day comfort. Its aviation-grade aluminum trellis frame keeps weight in check at around 182kg (kerb), while radial all-terrain tires ensure it grips everything from pothole-riddled city streets to dusty trails—making it India’s first electric motorcycle with such dual-purpose rubber. Available in three striking color schemes—Laser (fiery red), Airstrike (stealth black), and Shadow (matte grey)—the X-47 screams premium without shouting
Power and Range That Punch Above Their Weight
At its core, the X-47 is powered by a liquid-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor churning out 40 hp (30 kW) and a staggering 100 Nm of torque—translating to 610 Nm at the rear wheel for instantaneous acceleration. It blasts from 0-60 km/h in just 2.7 seconds, hits 0-100 km/h in 8.1 seconds, and tops out at 145 km/h, putting it on par with many mid-range ICE adventures. Ultraviolette offers two battery options: a 7.1 kWh pack for 211 km IDC range (ideal for city runs) and a 10.3 kWh powerhouse delivering up to 323 km—enough for cross-country jaunts without range anxiety.
Charging is a breeze with Ultraviolette’s in-house 1.6 kW air-cooled onboard charger—the world’s most power-dense for two-wheelers—and the innovative Parallel Boost Charging system, which slashes full-charge times by combining onboard and portable chargers. Riders can select from three modes—Glide for efficient cruising, Combat for spirited rides, and Ballistic for full-throttle fun—tailored via a vibrant 5-inch TFT display with eSIM connectivity for over-the-air updates.
Suspension duties fall to 41mm inverted front forks and an adjustable rear mono-shock, while Brembo brakes with Bosch’s 10th-gen dual-channel ABS (switchable for off-road) and three-level traction control ensure confident stops and grip. Nine levels of regenerative braking add to the efficiency, feeding energy back to the battery during descents.

Safety Revolution: Radar Meets the Road
What truly sets the X-47 apart is its UV HyperSense Advanced Rider Assistance System (ARAS)—a game-changer for two-wheeler safety. Powered by a 77 GHz medium-range radar (monitoring up to 200 meters) and dual 1080p HDR cameras, it delivers blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, rear collision warnings, and overtake alerts, all adapted for motorcycle lean angles. An optional secondary 5-inch touchscreen dashcam with 32GB storage (expandable to 256GB) records journeys in real-time, complete with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integration. As Ultraviolette’s CEO Narayan Subramaniam puts it, “The X-47 fuses cutting-edge technology and precision engineering to redefine electric mobility.”
Accessories for the Modern Explorer
Ultraviolette hasn’t skimped on expandability. The X-47 supports 32L hard panniers, 30L soft bags, a top box, and even a limited-edition Desert Wing variant for off-road purists. A mechanical anti-theft mount and Type-C port round out the conveniences, making it as tour-ready as it is tech-savvy.
Bookings opened on launch day (September 23, 2025) with a ₹999 token, and the response has been electric—over 3,000 in the first 24 hours, prompting an extension of the introductory pricing to the first 5,000 customers. Deliveries kick off in October 2025 for India, with global exports slated for 2026.
Why the X-47 Matters Now
In a market dominated by ICE adventures, the X-47 arrives as a zero-emission disruptor, undercutting rivals like the KTM 250 Adventure (₹2.40 lakh) while packing superior tech and torque. It underscores Ultraviolette’s mission: to build EVs that don’t just match petrol bikes but surpass them in smarts and sustainability. As India’s EV adoption accelerates—bolstered by subsidies and charging networks—the X-47 could spark a wave of electric crossovers, making adventure riding cleaner, safer, and more accessible.
Whether you’re dodging Bengaluru traffic or conquering Rajasthan dunes, the Ultraviolette X-47 Crossover proves electric doesn’t mean tame. It’s a bold leap forward, reenergizing a segment ripe for revolution. Head to ultraviolette.com to pre-book yours—before the introductory deals vanish.
