Ultraviolette recently launched its first electric scooter, the Ultraviolette Tesseract at the introductory price of Rs 1.2 Lakh (ex-showroom) for the first 10,000 bookings. The sporty e-scooter garnered quite the attention with 20,000 bookings in two days. As a result, the brand decided to extend the introductory price period to another 40,000 bookings.
Ultraviolette Tesseract Introductory Price Period extended
Ultraviolette earlier claimed that once the introductory price ends, the e-scooter will retail at Rs 1.45 Lakh (ex-showroom). However, seeing the craze for their new scooter, the brand decided to keep the customer spirit high by increasing the introductory period to another 40,000 customers.
Ultraviolette Tesseract: Concepts can be real too
The Tesseract looks like a concept for an upcoming sporty scooter. However, Ultraviolette managed to bring the concept as a mass-market production model that is probably the most advanced scooter ever launched in India or even the world, that too at such an affordable price. This is not only a huge proud moment for the Bengaluru-based startup but also for India as a whole.
Before jumping to the features, let us talk about the design. It is inspired by combat helicopters and appears quite dominating (It’s named after MCU’s space stone so Loki fans will love this). This scooter looks in line with other Ultraviolette offerings like the F77 series and brings a whole lot of “definitely male” vibe more than the Pulsar series nowadays, but still retains a lot of practicality a scooter offers. There’s a huge 34L under-seat storage with an IDC claimed 261 km, meaning you can turn several heads while heading to the office or college on a daily basis.
The scooter stands out from all the kinds of scooters simply due to its futuristic design that looks straight out of the Blade Runner universe. Anyways, another big stand out aspect of the Tesseract is its features which are mostly borrowed from 4-wheelers.
It is the world’s first scooter to feature a front and rear radar for spatial awareness, Overtake alert, Blindspot detection and Collision alert. It also has ORVMs with Blindspot assistance and an integrated dashcam with Violette AI, a 7-inch TFT touchscreen which supports navigation and a handlebar which has haptic feedback.
There’s more. The scooter also gets floating DRLs, dual LED projector headlights, wireless charger, proper dual-channel ABS (in a scooter!), 14-inch aero disc alloys with 110-section front and 140-section rear tyres, which enhances the muscular looks of the scooter.
As for power, the Tesseract produces a peak power of 20.1 bhp with a top speed of 125 km/h. The scooter is also quick, promising 0-60 kmph in just 2.9 seconds.
The Ultraviolette Tesseract is a well-rounded package of style, power and features, which are the 3 major aspects a customer looks at. The brand offering an electric scooter with such a cutting-edge design and features, and at this price range, will surely shake up the whole scooter market in India and will give a tough competition to other brands.
