Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive is preparing to expand its product lineup beyond premium motorcycles with the introduction of its first electric scooter, the Ultraviolette Tesseract. Initially unveiled in 2025, the Tesseract is now moving closer to its market debut, with the production version expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026. As deliveries are anticipated to commence soon, here is a comprehensive overview of what the e-scooter offers.
Ultraviolette Tesseract e-scooter: Key details
The Tesseract was introduced at a starting price of Rs 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom). Interested buyers can pre-book the scooter on the company's official website by paying a token amount of Rs 5,000.
Performance and battery options
Built on a new platform, the Tesseract is powered by an electric motor that produces 20.1 bhp. Ultraviolette claims a maximum range of up to 261 km on a single charge, depending on the selected battery pack. Buyers can choose from three battery options: 3.5 kWh, 5 kWh, and 6 kWh. Performance is expected to be a key highlight, with the scooter capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 kmph in just 2.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of 125 kmph. The battery can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in under an hour.
Features and technology
In terms of features, the Tesseract is loaded with technology. It includes a 7-inch touchscreen TFT display with built-in navigation, along with dual dashcams at the front and rear. Other notable additions include wireless charging, haptic feedback on the handlebars, dual-channel ABS, traction control, and hill hold assist. The scooter also features dynamic stability control.
One of the standout elements of the Tesseract is its radar-based advanced rider assistance system (ARAS), a first for an electric scooter in India. This system enables features such as blind spot detection, overtake alerts, lane change assist, and collision warnings, bringing a new level of safety technology to the segment.
Storage, design, and warranty
The scooter offers 34 litres of under-seat storage, which is sufficient to fit a full-face helmet. It rides on 14-inch wheels and will be available in four colour options: Sonic Pink, Desert Sand, Solar White, and Stealth Black. Ultraviolette is also offering a standard warranty of three years or 75,000 km, which can be extended up to eight years or 2,00,000 km.
Competition
Once launched, the Tesseract will compete with established electric scooters such as the TVS iQube, Simple One, Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450, Vida V2 Pro, and River Indie.
