Bengaluru-based EV maker Ultraviolette Automotive is gearing up to expand beyond premium motorcycles with the debut of its first electric scooter, the Ultraviolette Tesseract. First unveiled in 2025, the Tesseract is now edging closer to its market debut, with the production version expected to hit the market in Q2 2026. With the deliveries expected to begin soon, here’s a quick look at what the e-scooter has to offer.
The Tesseract was introduced at a starting price of Rs 1.45 lakh, ex-showroom. It can be pre-booked on the company’s official website for a token amount of Rs 5,000.Built on a new platform, the Tesseract is powered by an electric motor producing 20.1 bhp. Ultraviolette claims a maximum range of up to 261 km on a single charge, depending on the battery pack selected. Buyers will have three battery options to choose from: 3.5 kWh, 5 kWh and 6 kWh. Performance is expected to be one of its key highlights, with the scooter capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 kmph in just 2.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of 125 kmph. The battery can also be charged from 0 to 80 percent in under an hour.
