The Indian EV scene is all abuzz with innovation, but few launches have generated as much hype as the Ultraviolette X-47 Crossover. The first radar-integrated electric motorcycle in the world, this bike promises not only sustainable mobility but also redefines adventure-touring in the age of EVs. Fitted with cutting-edge technology, stunning performance, and an affordable price point, the X-47 is already taking the country by storm, with over 3,000 bookings already in within a span of just 24 hours of its launch.
In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into all you should know about this revolutionary motorcycle—its look, specs, performance, special radar-based safety system, and why it may prove to be a game-changer for India’s two-wheeler segment.
A New Breed of Adventure Bike
The Ultraviolette X-47 is being marketed as a crossover motorcycle—a segment that combines the DNA of adventure touring and city commuting. With upright ergonomics, increased ground clearance, and tough geometry, it’s engineered to do both daily commutes and weekend excursions. Imagine a bike that feels as comfortable on smooth highways as on semi-rough trails.
This flexibility is what sets the X-47 apart. Adventure motorcycles appeal to Indian riders, but up until now, the segment has been led by petrol-engine motorcycles. The X-47 alters that equation with the provision of the first serious electric alternative within this segment.
Performance That Packs a Punch
While an electric bike, the Ultraviolette X-47 is not lacking in performance. It is available in two battery options—7.1 kWh and 10.3 kWh—of which the higher pack offers an IDC-stated range of 323 km on a single charge. Although actual numbers will likely be less, this range remains more than adequate for urban riding and touring.
The X-47 goes 0–60 km/h in 2.7 seconds and reaches 100 km/h in approximately 8.1 seconds, so it’s fast enough for enthusiastic driving. The electric motor makes about 40.2 hp (30 kW) and a mind-boggling 610 Nm of torque at the back wheel. Top speed is governed at 145 km/h, which is sufficient for Indian highways.
On paper, these numbers put the X-47 in the same league as some mid-capacity petrol motorcycles. The instant torque delivery of an electric motor ensures thrilling performance, whether you’re overtaking on highways or tackling hilly terrains.
HyperSense: Radar-Powered Safety
The headline feature of the X-47—and the one that truly sets it apart—is HyperSense, Ultraviolette’s proprietary rider-assistance technology.
It features at its heart a 77 GHz medium-range radar with the capability to look ahead as far as 200 meters. What’s innovative is that the system has been designed specifically for motorcycles, considering lean angles, reduced frames, and two-wheeler-specific dynamics.
The radar is complemented by dual 1080p HDR cameras (front and rear), forming a complete awareness system to ensure accident-free riding. The major features are
- Blind Spot Monitoring—Notifies riders of oncoming vehicles from behind.
- Lane Change Assist—Assures safe overtaking and lane changes.
- Rear Collision Warning—Pinpoints speed-approaching cars from the rear.
- Overtaking Alerts—Increases rider alertness during high-risk maneuvers.
Paired with a committed secondary display that can display real-time camera views, the HyperSense suite provides riders unprecedented safety levels even among top-end petrol adventure motorcycles. This is no gimmick—a true move towards minimizing two-wheeler accidents in India, where blind spots and careless traffic commonly lead to accidents.
Design & Build
True to its DNA as a crossover, the Ultraviolette X-47 has a muscular but futuristic design. The bodywork and fairing are sharp, and the upright posture oozes confidence. It appears unlike any petrol bike in its segment, highlighting its futuristic EV persona.
Suspension duties are handled by inverted front forks and an adjustable rear monoshock, ensuring comfort across varied terrain. Disc brakes with dual-channel ABS provide stopping power, while the geometry of the bike balances stability with maneuverability.
The X-47 also comes equipped with dual 1080p cameras that double up as dashcams. These record rides improve safety and add a modern connected-bike feel.
Ownership, Warranty & Pricing
Ultraviolette boasts an incredible warranty of up to 800,000 km, a testament to faith in battery technology as well as build quality. For those eco-conscious buyers worried about battery wear and tear, this is an enormous comfort.
Pricing-wise, the entry-level ex-showroom price begins at ₹2.49 lakh, which is extremely competitive. Even when prices increase to approximately ₹2.74 lakh post-introductory phase, it will remain a huge value compared to petrol adventure bikes with lower features. Deliveries should commence in the vicinity of October 2025.
Advantages of the Ultraviolette X-47
- The world’s first radar-integrated electric bike in its class.
- Excellent performance with instant torque and rapid acceleration.
- Long range (up to 323 km IDC) for city and highway use.
- Enhanced safety with HyperSense radar and two cameras.
- Competitive pricing against petrol counterparts and global EV bikes.
- Covered by a strong 800,000 km warranty.
Challenges & Considerations
There is no such thing as a perfect bike, and the X-47 has a couple of questions that riders will ask:
- Real-world range: EVs don’t usually provide the same exact claimed range in real-world riding, so long-distance tour riding might require planning around charging stops.
- Weight: More substantial batteries will weigh more, potentially affecting off-road handling.
- Charging infrastructure: Urban areas are well served, but rural or adventure locations might still be short on good charging points.
- Sensor durability: Radar and cameras must be durable enough to withstand India’s hot, wet, and dusty climate.
- After-sales support: Ultraviolette is in the process of expanding its service network, and comprehensive coverage will be crucial for long-term success.
The Verdict: A True Game-Changer
The Ultraviolette X-47 is more than an electric bike—it’s a manifesto. With its radar safety technology, scintillating performance, and utilitarian crossover design, it shows that Indian EV startups are not merely following global trends—they’re leading them.
For those who desire a futuristic, green motorcycle without sacrificing adventure or safety, the X-47 is an attractive option. Its budget price tag makes it even more appealing, particularly when weighed against petrol motorcycles that do not have sophisticated features.
Of course, its ultimate success will depend on real-world range, the reliability of its HyperSense system, and the expansion of EV infrastructure. But as it stands, the Ultraviolette X-47 is poised to redefine what Indian riders expect from an electric motorcycle.
If you’re looking for an EV that blends technology, adventure, and affordability, the X-47 is one of the most exciting launches of 2025.
