The world of electric motorcycles just got a fresh jolt of excitement. Bengaluru-based startup Ultraviolette has officially opened bookings for its limited-run F77 Space Edition. With bold design choices and claims of being India’s fastest electric bike, this version of the F77 has caught the attention of EV enthusiasts and auto watchers across the country.
But is it really the fastest EV bike in India? And what sets the Space Edition apart from the regular variants? Let’s break it down.
What is the Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition?
The Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition is a special edition model based on the company’s flagship electric motorcycle – the F77. While the original F77 has already made a name for itself with its high performance and futuristic design, the Space Edition takes things up a notch, both in terms of aesthetics and exclusivity.
Only 10 units of this limited edition are being made available, making it one of the most exclusive electric motorcycles in the country. According to Ultraviolette, this model pays tribute to India’s space journey and engineering excellence, which is evident in its aerospace-grade aluminum components and distinct matte white finish inspired by spacecraft exteriors.
Speed Stats – Is It the Fastest?
One of the biggest talking points around the Space Edition is its speed. Ultraviolette claims a top speed of 152 km/h, which indeed makes it one of the fastest electric motorcycles made in India.
To compare:
- The regular F77 Recon variant reaches a top speed of 147 km/h.
- Revolt RV400 maxes out at around 85 km/h.
- Other popular e-scooters like the Ather 450X and Ola S1 Pro fall in a different category altogether, with top speeds under 120 km/h.
With these numbers, the F77 Space Edition does stand tall – at least for now – as the fastest electric motorcycle in India.
Design and Engineering
What makes the Space Edition stand out isn’t just the performance, but the attention to design and engineering detail. Ultraviolette says the motorcycle uses aerospace-grade materials, and several components have been re-engineered for higher precision.
The paint scheme is a clean, matte white with minimal graphics – a clear shift from the aggressive styling seen in the standard models. There’s also a special Space Edition badge on the tank shrouds and unique serial numbers for each of the 10 units produced.
The overall look is sleek, futuristic, and very unlike anything else currently on Indian roads.
Features That Matter
Under the hood, or rather the chassis, the Space Edition retains the same 40.5 bhp electric motor and 10.3 kWh battery pack as the F77 Recon. It offers a real-world range of about 307 km on a single charge, making it practical for long city rides and even inter-city travel for some.
Some key features include:
- 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity
- Multiple ride modes
- Regenerative braking
- Fast charging support
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates
While the core specs remain the same as the Recon variant, the enhancements in build and design offer a slightly more refined and futuristic riding experience.
Limited Edition Hype – Is It Justified?
With only 10 bikes being made and bookings already open, the Space Edition is expected to sell out quickly. However, some industry watchers question whether the hype is purely driven by exclusivity or actual performance upgrades.
Given that the performance specs are nearly identical to the standard Recon variant, it seems the Space Edition is more about design, materials, and collectibility than a leap in tech. Still, for collectors or hardcore EV fans, this could be a one-of-a-kind addition to the garage.

Final Thoughts
The Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition is a bold step in India’s electric mobility journey. Whether or not it redefines what EVs can be, it certainly pushes the boundaries of how electric motorcycles are perceived.
For now, it holds the crown of being India’s fastest EV bike – but with the EV market heating up, that title may face challenges soon. Either way, the Space Edition signals a new phase in Indian electric two-wheeler innovation – one that’s fast, futuristic, and proudly made in India.
