  • Ultraviolette Expansion: Brand Adds Six Space Stations Across Mumbai and Pune

    Ultraviolette expansion

    Pune: In a significant milestone for the Ultraviolette expansion strategy, Ultraviolette Automotive has established six new Experience Centres across Mumbai and Pune.

    This rapid rollout strengthens the company’s nationwide footprint, now spanning thirty cities, and enhances customer access to its performance electric motorcycles.

    As part of the Ultraviolette expansion initiative, the brand’s latest retail and service touchpoints are now operational at Andheri, Vashi, and Thane in Mumbai, along with Shivajinagar, Baner, and Kharadi in Pune.

    The centres provide customers with an integrated ecosystem, offering test rides, sales, servicing, spares, and motorcycle accessories under one roof.

    The launch follows the successful introduction of the X-47 Crossover, a multi-terrain motorcycle, and UV Crossfade, the brand’s first carbon-fibre helmet equipped with radar-based communication.

    Ultraviolette Expansion Boosts Presence in Maharashtra

    The UV Space Stations, operated in partnership with Hallmark Mobility LLP in Mumbai and KHV Mobility LLP in Pune, are designed to deliver an immersive experience that spans the entire customer lifecycle.

    Buyers can engage with the full range of Ultraviolette motorcycles – the X-47, F77 SuperStreet, and F77 MACH 2 – while accessing personalised test rides and dedicated service support.

    Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and Co-founder of Ultraviolette, said the brand aims to unify sales and service to ensure a seamless ownership journey. He noted that every Space Station reflects the company’s commitment to performance, technology, and trust-driven after-sales service.

    Kaushik Kothari, Partner at KHV Mobility LLP, highlighted that the collaboration aligns with the increasing shift towards EV adoption and Ultraviolette’s strong engineering and customer-centric approach.

    Advanced Performance and Safety Features

    Ultraviolette’s motorcycles feature a 40.2 hp powertrain producing 100 Nm torque and accelerate from 0–60 kph in 2.8 seconds. With a 10.3 kWh battery delivering an IDC range of 323 km, the motorcycles offer:

    • 3-level traction control
    • 10-level regenerative braking
    • Dynamic Stability Control (UV DSC) combining ABS and regen braking

    The X-47 also introduces UV Radar Intelligence, enabling Advanced Rider Assistance System (ARAS) functions such as blind spot detection, lane change assist, overtake alerts, and rear collision warnings.

    This makes Ultraviolette the first manufacturer to integrate a radar-powered ARAS tailored specifically for two-wheelers.

    Earlier this year, Ultraviolette received an enthusiastic market response to the Tesseract – touted as the world’s most advanced electric scooter featuring integrated radar, dashcam, and Omnisense mirrors – and the Shockwave electric motorcycle built for performance-focused riders.
