I’m riding The Fastest Electric Motorcycle in India 🇮🇳

Coming from this to this is like what the [ _ ]happened you know it’s a whole different   ball game here that is like a whole different it still go it still goes   yeah I’ll come as you can see I did not get a charge yet at my Airbnb because there’s no power outlet

So I’m at 9% but it’s not going to be a problem for today because I think where I’m going now I’m definitely going to get a charge for Eve let’s do it yeah I’m all really lost in traffic yeah okay hello I’m from Germany I’m from Germany

Hello and we don’t have that in Germany we don’t we just have one in Germany I’m traveling yeah tourist I come I drove from Germany okay happy journey good luck thank you thank you very much – what’s your name – Marcus what’s your name – sanjyo – nice meeting you all right goodbye

All right yeah uh I would need a number plate on the front of Eve because they all have that here but yeah as soon as I tell them I traveled from Germany they’re all good always but I’m still lost oh man that traffic  it’s just a massive city

All right but where am I even going like I heard about this company that builds electric motorcycles uh the name is ultraviolet I guess they are startup and they build bikes like Eve they even built like a proper track bike and yeah they invited me over to all right all right all right

And yeah they invited me also to the hanger right here it is I saw the bikes already I just have to turn around exciting huge hanger here we go oh look at those and boy they have charging stations here but that is for sure not the right plug for me

Hello yeah I’m I have an appointment here with the yeah yeah it’s electric hi oh yeah all right can you please park the bike – yeah I was asking you can I charge it somewhere you have a charger – I have a charger with me yeah can I

Basement – in the basement yeah all right yeah  let’s do it I’ll drive it down here yeah all right so I’m now here in the shop and the people are so friendly and they’re showing me all the bikes and this is how they how they look like when they strip down

They a little bit lighter than than Eve and the battery is a little bit smaller   than eve two different versions but uh I’ll explain everything when I do a test ride later all right so now that Prashad gave me  the full tour here and explain me  

Literally everything I have to know about the bike it’s now time uh for   a test ride just have to fill out some forms now and I get the uh big model will I get to use this one – riding this – all right I get the red one that’s cool  

That is a pretty looking bike I think I think I know everything I think you explain it very good so all right I have to power it up like like and how do I turn it off like  

Just like this and to power it on I just  all right and now it’s now it’s on green   light yeah all right combat ballistic i’ll start off with ballistic and then I’ll check out the other ones awesome okay let’s see adjust the mirrors a little bit

All right I can already tellthe seating position is way more sport bike than it is on Eve way more so I don’t know if you can see that there in the mirror so it’s way more sporty feels good suspension feels awesome okay all right ooo yeah that is a sport bike okie dokie

That is quite different okay the regen I’ll have to check that out later I probably have to do adjust that okay that feels fun so there’s basically three modes uh Ithink eco I can go   through them actually the glide that would be the eco mode combat that  

Would be the normal mode I guess and uh ballistic ballistic is the race mode brakes are good and it’s incredible silent I thought with the chain drive I would have thought it is way louder but it is silent that is cool I think Eve is louder

To be honest because of the belt yeah I don’t have my my mirror mount here so no but I’m seriously impressed   I mean I can feel the difference it is uh like there nothing compared uh to Eve eve is way more   powerful way better throttle response um it’s just like a mid-range bike and Eve it’s  

Like a different level but the bike looks cool look at that all right have to focus a little bit they definitely have to adjust the regen yeah and there’s just one disc in the front so   yeah that’s also very different but no stuttering I like that

Come around 7 8 seconds in regen – okay okay cool all right okay so with the software update I can also do adjust the regen while riding but it’s not possible yet I mean it’s a pretty new company I think the company started in 2016 and they released their first model and okay

They released their first model in 2019 and   these bikes after Covid here okay rear brake yeah rear brake sucks so this battery this battery has a 10 kw capacity but usable capacity and the original models have like 7 kw capacity usable

It’s fun guys it’s a fun little bike it’s fun man it’s fun man I like it it’s very light compared to Eve I think it is only 190 kilogram 197 kg I think you can feel the difference totally oh man I like the chain drive really like the chain drive woo you hear the humming

it sounds good I guess a little bit like the Energica and they don’t have these floating brakes they have like a fixed brake disc   I like that better to be honest I really  not a fan of these floating discs from eve

This is a fun ride how do I look looks good the bike man so as you can see the brakes are with abs and this is the the chain drive I really must say   I’m really impressed on how silent the bike is especially when you’re driving at the higher  

Speeds I feel like the belt is a little louder than the chain so that is that’s pretty cool and   there’s also no vibrations or anything like that and uh it really is it really is a solid bike it  

Is a solid motorcycle and the seating position you saw it I’m quite big and I look quite big on   the motorcycle uh but it is still comfortable I mean I don’t know how it is after 200 or 300 km   but yeah uh first impression is very good really

So I just learned from Prashad that woo that the regen only kicks in oh at 90% or less so there’s no regen right now that explains a lot so if you’re used to riding with the regen it’s not there anymore it feels weird so

I’m kind of glad that Eve doesn’t do that it’s really kind of cool but yeah this bike especially for the city it really is a blast super nimble so I’m hoping I get it down to 90% that would be cool

yeah the regen I think it’s working now the regen but it’s very subtle there’s   nothing compared to eve eve really stops you this doesn’t you can feel it’s on but it’s not the same what I do what I do feel like this this is a little bit soft yeah it is very soft

Yeah the foot pegs they are very very soft they don’t give you as much grip as you would need woo it’s a fun bike though fun bike yeah that’s fun man so do you run a ride mine right man are you ready for Eve yeah hop on man it’s yours

He’s in for a treat how does it feel yeah yeah power right 100m is an open stretch yeah yeah you can give it a go yeah need more open space to you know  – yeah yeah you need yeah – you don’t run out  

Of power – yeah yeah no no no you just yeah yeah it doesn’t stop until 200 it doesn’t   stop it always just pulls and you never  feel like that the power goes away it’s   just always it’s crazy running out of road yeah yeah but the power is not ending

Yeah yeah running out of road yeah no I’m no chance with this bike no chance at all he’s just gone just gone no way I can keep up no way that is his way to work so he knows this road and he having way too much fun on eve

It’s insane right it’s like like nothing else it’s like it’s crazy yeah like how is it compared to your ninja or to it’s similar yeah – almost similar – yeah yeah but without the noise without the – yeah yeah – the ninja is also super quick

Yeah yeah I can I can imagine yeah – but here you don’t have to change gears anything so super fun but when I’m reducing the at high speed there’s a little chatter when I’m giving the brakes off

Yeah the brakes are the discs are warped they warped for for 20,000 km already I need new disc but uh yeah at some point I’m used to it now but they are warped and the discs are not very good all right man yeah yeah no no chance no chance

Yeah I have no chance like not at all with this one but just seeing the   bike launching off is just like unreal  it’s unreal I mean the experience also just keeps going – yeah yeah it’s cool man I’m glad you enjoy it I’m glad you enjoy it

This is insane seeing Eve like that is just insane I love the bike I really do also this is the Indian charging port it’s way tinier than the type two it’s like a whole different kind of thing I don’t have the adapter for this yeah cool all right let’s go

I have to turn it on yeah in India in Europe it’s more like 200 because of faster yeah yeah it’s on now no but uh the side stand is on so now it’s armed the moment it’s off – yeah – no it’s on you don’t have to start theswitch

Kill switch on is on yeah yeah sometimes at the traffic light the little kids they come and they’re like [ __ ] and I had like that’s so dangerous like yeah oh be gone it’s uh that’s my custom mode rain mode eco mode standard mode sport mode and this is full power everything

Yeah okay nice to meet you guys nice to meet you nice to meet you thank you – good luck – thank you man thanks for the test ride all right ah that feels like home  oh yeah no seating position is way more up

Right way more oh wow but you never you only feel the difference now oh man this is crazy oh and also the power dude woo this is like a whole different a whole different setup a whole different setup feels so different now wow ah but this you only learn to appreciate this after 40,000 km

On no other bike once you ridden this bike now it compared to this one is like it’s just madness it’s just insane and he felt it going to the headquarters now So this is what happens when I leave Eve alone for a while she’s such a sucker for attention she loves it

Alright guys – that’s Marc – that’s a cool motorcyle right what do you what do you yeah this is the uh the controller is  here down here aftermarket bash plate original is plastic this aftermarket – so you named it named her Eve – Eve yeah

That’s the name of the bike okay guys nice meeting you all right goodbye guys goodbye all right that was fun I mean I’ll also come back here on Friday and uh get to meet the CEOs that will be fun so to just to conclude this whole thing the bike the F77 is fun

But obviously it is a downgrade to Eve so not going to replace you Eve with another bike how could I uh but it was fun uh I had a I had a blast uh super friendly people I love that they showed me around

They explained me the whole bike pretty well I would have loved if zero would have done that when I reached out to them that would have been cool but it is how it is in general I just like to show the world that that there’s cool bikes out there that are electric

I’m not saying everybody has to ride electric bikes hell I’m going to be riding my old Honda I’m going to be riding my old Honda at some point again that’s for sure but you know there’s cool bikes out there I’m going to be leaving Bangalore soon

Going making my way down south uh somehow I have to get back to my Airbnb now so you guys don’t forget to subscribe and uh I’ll see you in the next video cheers

The Ultraviolette F77 is pretty fast as well, what do you think? I think I should have test drove the F99 prototype which probably would be faster than EVE but also not street legal! Anyway, we had a blast racing around the fully packed streets of Bangalore in rush hour because we have the perfect bikes for it even though the f77 with 40hp is no competition for Eve and the manager of sales realised that quickly once I let him ride her! He compares it to his Kawasaki ninja super sport bike and of course with the biggest smile on his face!;) Thanks @UltravioletteEV for showing me around and for an awesome day! I loved it! This is a freakin’ cool bike!

  1. Very cool episode! I love the comparison, but also appreciate that there are other companies getting into the electric motorcycle space. Zero has been around 15 years, so they've worked out some kinks. However, again it's nice to see there is innovation elsewhere. India can stand to benefit from transportation electrification for sure.

  2. The Ultraviolet team consists of people who have a passion for bikes rather than money. Currently, they are only focused on the quality of their products, not on sales figures, so they only sell them in Bangalore and Chennai. Because they are focused on quality, they follow up on bikes sold in these two cities. Hopefully, they have huge investors like TVs Motors and zoho. They recently showcased a super bike f99 with 120bhp.
