Ultraviolette has come a long way with the development of the F77 compared to when the bike was first unveiled back in 2019. In fact, Ultraviolette has brought in many improvements originally planned for a 2nd generation bike due in 2024 to the F77 that will launch on the 24th of November.

The biggest change revealed for the upcoming F77 comes in the form of a battery pack. Instead of the modular pack seen on the bike when it was unveiled back in 2019, Ultraviolette has switched to a much larger pack that measures in at 10.5kWh.

Another change comes in the form of the cells used in each pack. Earlier, Ultraviolette used 18650 cells for its battery packs. However, the pandemic and updates in battery tech have seen the firm switch to 21700 cells instead. The new 21700 cells are larger than their 18650 counterparts and are even more power dense, which has resulted in an increase in range.

Other changes that have helped Ultraviolette raise the range from 150km to a mind-boggling 307km are improvements made to make other components lighter and stiffer than the ones used before.

Changes have also been made to ensure that the bike and its battery pack remain as safe as possible. The battery now features an aluminium casing all around it which helps both with shielding the battery pack from adversities while also helping dissipate the heat generated from it.

Ultraviolette also claims to have developed a top-of-the-line thermal management setup for the F77's battery pack which should help the bike handle the heat even on a hot summer's day here in India. Ultraviolette also claims to have built-in multiple redundancies for the electronics of the bike to ensure that it remains as safe as possible including cell-level protection among others.

Thoughts About The Ultraviolette F77

Ultraviolette's Battery Day event saw it showcase quite a few changes to the power source for its upcoming F77 electric motorcycle which have left many bike enthusiasts drooling for more. The price of the bike is also expected to increase by around 15 per cent compared to the Rs 3.5 lakh figure announced in 2019 but we hope all the changes made by Ultraviolette will be enough to get people to hop into its saddle in the very near future.
