Ultraviolette Shockwave Gets a 100V Boost, But When Can You Ride It?
The Ultraviolette Shockwave is getting a major electrical upgrade before it reaches your garage.
The lightweight, road-legal electric enduro was originally due in early 2026, but is now expected in the first quarter of 2027. It will also get the new 100V architecture announced for the company’s Tesseract scooter.

A New Electrical Setup for the Shockwave
Ultraviolette unveiled the Shockwave in March 2025, promising a lightweight, affordable electric enduro with enough punch to make a ride around town a bit more interesting.
Its original specs promised 14.5 bhp, 505 Nm of torque at the wheel, a 4 kWh battery, a top speed of 120 km/h (74.5 mph) and 0–60 km/h (37 mph) in 2.9 seconds, with a claimed IDC range of 165 km (102 miles), all in a 120 kg package. It runs a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear, with 200 mm of front suspension travel and 180 mm at the rear.
Ultraviolette also quotes 20–80% charging times of 30 minutes with its Supernova charger and 50 minutes with the Boost charger.
“But this isn't about a bigger number on a spec sheet,” says Ultraviolette CEO Narayan Subramaniam.
The production Shockwave will use the company’s new 100V electrical architecture, which is also coming to the Tesseract scooter. Subramaniam says the higher-voltage system is designed to deliver stronger power, improve thermal efficiency and charge faster.
Ultraviolette is also setting up a dedicated Shockwave production line within its existing manufacturing plant.
The announced introductory price in India is ₹1.5 lakh for the first 1,000 bookings, rising to ₹1.75 lakh afterwards.
Will the production Shockwave keep those original performance figures? What will it cost in Europe and the US? And when will customer deliveries begin? We've put these questions to Ultraviolette and will update you when we have answers.
The BCB Take
The Shockwave has a promising recipe. Keep it light, give it the performance to make it a proper little enduro, and don't price it out of reach.
Ultraviolette says the new setup will bring stronger power delivery, better thermal efficiency and faster charging. Those are useful gains if they translate to the finished bike.
For now, the Shockwave remains one to watch. We want to see the finished bike out on the road, putting those original claims to the test.
Ride safe, folks.
