Ultraviolette's new VX-100 platform

The top variant has a claimed IDC range of 343 km. All range, power and acceleration figures are claims made by the company.
Can a premium electric motorcycle sell in a scooter market?
India's electric two-wheeler market has been led by scooters. A performance motorcycle with a claimed range of up to 343 km tests whether buyers will pay more for a premium electric bike.
A new platform also helps a young company build more models faster, instead of starting from scratch each time.

Watch how deliveries go from November and whether real world range matches the claims. Also watch if Ultraviolette adds more bikes on VX-100.
