India’s electric two-wheeler market has been growing exponentially, driven by rising fuel costs, environmental concerns, and government incentives. Brands like Ola, Ather, and TVS have been at the forefront of the e-scooter wave, but Ultraviolette—the company that gave India its first electric superbike, the F77—is stepping in to redefine the segment with its first-ever scooter, the Tesseract. The Tesseract represents a significant evolution in India’s electric mobility narrative – moving beyond basic transportation to deliver a premium, technology-driven experience that doesn’t compromise on performance or range, two factors that have historically limited electric two-wheeler adoption.
The Tesseract’s design language carries forward Ultraviolette’s distinctive aesthetic approach, sharing visual DNA with its elder sibling, the F77. Sharp, angular lines dominate the scooter’s profile, with a muscular stance that immediately distinguishes it from conventional electric scooters. The front features an aggressive LED headlight assembly with signature DRLs that create an unmistakable road presence. Unlike the rounded, approachable designs common in the scooter segment, the Tesseract embraces a more technical, performance-oriented appearance. The bodywork features sculpted panels with aerodynamic considerations, while the floorboard offers a spacious, practical layout without compromising the scooter’s sporty character. Available in four color options, the Tesseract maintains Ultraviolette’s commitment to premium fit and finish, with high-quality materials throughout and attention to detail that elevates it above most competitors in the segment.

On paper, its technical specifications are about as impressive as the e-scooter’s looks. Powered by a 14.91 kW (20.1 bhp) electric motor, it delivers performance numbers typically associated with motorcycles rather than scooters. The scooter accelerates from 0-60 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 125 km/h (77.6 mph) – figures that put it firmly in the performance category. Battery technology has been a particular focus, with the Tesseract offering three variants with different battery capacities. The top-tier variant boasts an impressive 261 km (160 miles) range on a single charge, addressing one of the primary concerns for electric vehicle adopters – range anxiety. The battery packs are designed for optimal thermal management and longevity, with fast-charging capability that can deliver a significant charge in under an hour. The scooter features a sophisticated suspension setup with disc brakes in the front and rear, complemented by dual-channel ABS for confident braking performance. The chassis has been engineered to balance agility with stability, resulting in handling characteristics that befit its performance capabilities.
Technology is where the Tesseract pulls ahead of the pack. The 7-inch TFT display dashboard is just the start. It comes loaded with features unheard of in the e-scooter segment—dual dashcams (front and back), traction control, hill-hold assist, wireless charging, dynamic stability control, and even haptic feedback on the handlebars. But the real showstopper is the integrated radar system, a first for scooters. Dubbed “Omnisense mirrors,” the setup provides real-time alerts for blind spots, approaching vehicles, and lane-change assistance. For a machine that’s meant to zip through chaotic urban traffic, these safety features could be game-changing.
Smartphone connectivity enables features like ride tracking, over-the-air updates, and customizable ride modes that adjust power delivery and range. Additional premium features include keyless operation, geo-fencing capabilities, anti-theft protection, and remote monitoring through a dedicated mobile app. There’s even a slot to store your phone while you drive, with wireless charging built into it. The scooter also incorporates regenerative braking technology that helps extend range during urban riding conditions.
The under-seat compartment boasts 34 liters of space, enough to swallow a full-face helmet. That’s a big deal in a segment where most e-scooters barely have room for a grocery bag. The build quality, from the sculpted panels to the switchgear, suggests a premium experience, staying true to Ultraviolette’s performance-focused ethos.
Ultraviolette has positioned the Tesseract in the premium segment, with an introductory price of $1,380 (INR 1,20,000) for the first 10,000 customers. The next 50,000 buyers will pay $1,495 (INR 1,30,000), and after that, it settles at $1,667 (INR 1,45,000). The scooter is available in three variants – Tesseract 3.5, Tesseract 5, and Tesseract 6 – each offering different battery capacities and range capabilities. While this pricing places it above many conventional scooters, the Tesseract’s performance specifications, technology integration, and premium build quality position it as a value proposition for tech-savvy consumers seeking a no-compromise electric vehicle. Pre-bookings have already opened, with deliveries scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2026.
