Ultraviolette has announced a major milestone in India’s electric mobility journey, with F77 owner Harish Surampade surpassing 1,00,000 km on his motorcycle in just 17 months. Significantly, the F77’s battery has retained 96% health, marking one of the strongest real-world endurance validations for an Indian-built electric motorcycle.
Calling the achievement “a defining moment for electric touring,” Ultraviolette Co-founder & CEO Narayan Subramaniam said the F77 was engineered to break long-standing limitations of electric motorcycles.
“Completing 1,00,000 km across cities, highways, borders and high-altitude terrain proves that long-distance electric travel is no longer an experiment; it is reality,” he said.
Extreme Riding, Minimal Degradation
Harish’s F77 endured some of the toughest riding environments possible—covering multiple terrains, nine international borders, and extreme temperatures ranging from –15°C to 48°C, a variation of 63°C.
In one of the most demanding stretches, he covered 613 km in a single day, showcasing the F77’s long-distance touring capability. Over the entire ownership period, Harish is estimated to have saved ₹4,59,009 in fuel costs, further highlighting EV ownership benefits.
Ultraviolette Co-founder & CTO Niraj Rajmohan emphasized that the battery’s performance reinforces the F77’s engineering excellence.
“Seeing a customer retain 96% battery capacity after 1,00,000 km is the ultimate validation of our battery architecture,” he said.
Battery Engineering Built for World-Class Durability
The F77’s near-zero degradation is attributed to Ultraviolette’s high-energy-density battery technology, advanced thermal control systems, and robust energy management algorithms—engineered to maintain stability, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
A Milestone for Indian EV Manufacturing
This achievement comes as Ultraviolette expands its footprint in India and global markets. The milestone demonstrates that electric motorcycles can confidently support long-distance touring, high-performance riding, and extreme weather operations—setting a new benchmark for EV engineering in India.
