Testing India's 'Fastest' electric motorcycle!

As an enthusiast, I absolutely abhor electric motor- cycles. I find them lacking the most important ingredient: a SOUL. In other words, my motorcycle needs to be different than, say, my washing machine or my hair dryer. However, as a reviewer, I have to keep aside my preferences and biases to be able to “honestly” review a vehicle for its intended user. So that’s exactly what I did, this time as well.

DESIGN

It’s an amalgam of a fully-faired sportbike and a naked. I wonder why Ultraviolette didn’t put a full fairing, including a visor (they apparently saved it for the F99), as that would’ve not only made the bike look complete, but more substantial as well. Right now, viewed head on, it looks diminutive.

Speaking of the front, the headlight performance is downright pathetic. It’s about time manufacturers developed headlights with adjustable brightness.

I couldn’t find any loose ends in build quality, but a plastic side-stand is horrifying on such an expensive, and heavy, motorcycle. More crucially though, the stand is short, due to which the bike leans over a lot more than it should, and picking it up can induce hernia if you haven’t been doing core-strengthening exercises lately.
