Bengaluru: Ultraviolette has confirmed that its upcoming Shockwave electric motorcycle will launch in India in the first quarter of 2027 with the company’s new 100V electrical architecture. The motorcycle, also known as the FUNDURO, was originally conceived as a lightweight electric motorcycle focused on riding dynamics and is now being prepared for production.

The new 100V architecture is expected to improve power delivery, thermal efficiency and charging performance. Ultraviolette has also confirmed that the Shockwave will be available in both single-seat and dual-seat configurations. Production preparations have already begun at the company’s existing manufacturing facility.

Shockwave launch confirmed for Q1 2027

The Shockwave was originally unveiled as a lightweight electric enduro-style motorcycle, with its design drawing inspiration from the character of classic two-stroke motorcycles.

While Ultraviolette had earlier opened pre-bookings for the motorcycle, retail availability had not materialised. The company has now confirmed that the Shockwave will enter production and launch in India during Q1 2027.

The confirmation also indicates that Ultraviolette is moving ahead with the motorcycle as part of its expanding electric two-wheeler portfolio.

The company has not yet announced the exact launch date within the January-March 2027 period.

New 100V architecture

The biggest technology update for the Shockwave is its adoption of Ultraviolette’s new 100V architecture.

According to the company, the higher-voltage platform is expected to bring improvements in power delivery, thermal efficiency and charging speeds. The architecture was previously announced for the Ultraviolette Tesseract, and its adoption by the Shockwave expands the technology to another product in the company’s portfolio.

The higher-voltage electrical system can help an electric motorcycle manage power more efficiently, although the final real-world performance of the Shockwave will depend on its production specifications.

Ultraviolette has not yet disclosed the complete specifications of the production version.

Single-seat and dual-seat options

The Shockwave will be offered in both single-seat and dual-seat configurations.

This gives the upcoming electric motorcycle different configuration options depending on the intended use. The single-seat layout is consistent with the motorcycle’s lightweight, riding-focused positioning, while the dual-seat version will offer the option of carrying a pillion.

The company has not yet announced whether the two configurations will differ in equipment, weight, range or other technical specifications.

Production preparations underway

Ultraviolette has already begun setting up a dedicated production line for the Shockwave at its existing manufacturing facility.

Narayan Subramaniam, co-founder and CEO of Ultraviolette, said the Shockwave was conceived to bring back the pure enjoyment of riding and that bringing the 100V architecture to the motorcycle was an important step towards that objective. He also confirmed that work on the Shockwave production line is underway.

The company has been developing the Shockwave and Tesseract in parallel over the past year. Although both use the new 100V technology, Ultraviolette says they are designed to provide different riding experiences.

Earlier Shockwave specifications

The Shockwave had previously been presented with specifications including a 14.5 bhp electric motor and peak torque of 505 Nm. Earlier information indicated a 0–60 kmph acceleration time of 2.9 seconds and a claimed top speed of 120 kmph.

The motorcycle’s earlier specification sheet also listed a 4 kWh battery and a claimed range of 165 km on a single charge.

However, these figures should not be treated as the final production specifications because Ultraviolette has now confirmed the transition to the 100V architecture.

The company is expected to reveal the final technical details closer to the Q1 2027 launch.

Lightweight electric motorcycle design

The Shockwave follows an enduro-inspired design with a relatively minimal bodywork approach. Its styling takes inspiration from classic two-stroke motorcycles while incorporating the components required for an electric powertrain.

Earlier specifications included a telescopic front fork and rear monoshock, along with disc brakes at both ends. The motorcycle was also shown with switchable dual-channel ABS and multiple levels of regenerative braking.

The production motorcycle could receive changes as Ultraviolette finalises the platform for retail launch.

What to expect from the new architecture

The adoption of the 100V system is significant because it represents a technology shift for the Shockwave rather than simply a cosmetic update.

Ultraviolette says the architecture is designed to provide stronger power delivery, better thermal efficiency and faster charging. These improvements could be particularly relevant for a lightweight performance-oriented electric motorcycle, where consistent power delivery and thermal management are important.

However, the company has not yet released production-level figures for charging time, battery capacity, motor output or range with the new architecture.

These details are expected closer to the launch.

Price and final specifications yet to be announced

Ultraviolette has not officially announced the final price of the Shockwave for India.

Earlier listings had indicated a price around the Rs 1.75 lakh mark, but this should not be considered the confirmed production price because the motorcycle has since received the new 100V architecture and final specifications are still pending.

The company is expected to reveal the final price, battery details, motor output, range, charging time and equipment list closer to its Q1 2027 launch.

Conclusion

The Ultraviolette Shockwave is now confirmed to launch in India in Q1 2027 with the company’s new 100V architecture. The FUNDURO-inspired electric motorcycle will be available in single-seat and dual-seat configurations, while production preparations are already underway.

The new architecture is expected to improve power delivery, thermal efficiency and charging performance. However, Ultraviolette is yet to reveal the final production specifications and pricing, making the upcoming launch the point when the complete details of the electric motorcycle will become clear.
