Backed by an $85 million cash infusion and Intel's CEO, India's Ultraviolette sets its sights on our shores.If fast-rising Indian electric moto maker Ultraviolette isn't on your radar yet, it soon will be.With innovative two-wheelers like the F77 SuperStreet, the brand has spent the past few years shaking up the space overseas.Founded in Bengaluru, India, a decade ago, Ultraviolette has quietly become one of the most exciting names in electric motorcycles … and bikes like the F77 are finally heading our way. - Credit: UltravioletteNow, thanks to an $85 million investment from Yali Capital and TDK Ventures (and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan joining as both an investor and advisor), the brand aims to bring those bikes to the States.Ultraviolette is putting that money toward scaling production of the F77 and X-47 (a more versatile crossover bike), launching the Tesseract scooter and Shockwave enduro and developing the next generation of electric vehicle platforms.The capital is helping to fund increased production of bikes like the X-47 crossover and future models as well. - Credit: UltravioletteBut the bigger deal for us stateside is that the brand has officially targeted 2027 as the year it comes to our shores.There are hurdles to clear first, including regulatory approval, distribution, customer and parts support, service and selling Americans on electric motos.Among the brand's breakthrough features is something your neck will thank you for: a built-in backup camera. - Credit: UltravioletteThe SRB 10 battery promises an industry-leading 200 miles of range. - Credit: UltraviolettePaired with your bike, the Ultraviolette app offers everything you could possibly want, including diagnostics, ride analytics, navigation, movement alerts, charging control and remote lockdown. - Credit: UltravioletteSkeptics should weigh two things, though.First, the Bengaluru-based brand has expanded from India to well over a dozen European countries since its founding a decade ago. I am more optimistic than doubtful.Among other things, the fresh round of funding will help Ultraviolette bring the new Shockwave enduro to life. - Credit: UltravioletteSecond, bikes like the aforementioned F77 combine loads of next-level tech with 74 lb-ft of peak torque and a top speed of nearly 100 mph with a starting price that converts to less than $3,600.Even assuming price tags jump for a stateside release due to tax, homologation, shipping and market position considerations, that's enough to get me in line for a test ride.
