The first time I hopped on the Ultraviolette F77, I felt like I was on something different. It isn’t just another EV; it has personality. The design is sharp and futuristic, and yes, people do notice it on the streets. But as soon as I started riding, a few realities hit me. The claimed 150 km range? In city traffic, I got closer to 120–130 km. There was this one moment in heavy traffic where the battery alert came up way earlier than expected made me rethink a few routes I normally take.
Design and First Impressions
This bike has a presence. LED headlights, sculpted bodywork, and a sporty stance make it feel like it belongs in a higher segment. I remember the dealer telling me straight, City riding will be fine, but don’t expect full range on highways. The colors are modern and appealing, but city scratches are unavoidable. The seat and handlebar are comfortable for short rides, though long stretches might leave you a little stiff.
Features and Dashboard
The F77 comes with a fully digital dashboard showing speed, battery, and connectivity info. There’s a mobile charging port, LED lights, and some basic connectivity features that make it suitable for city commutes. Funny thing I ran a firmware update, and the screen froze for a few seconds. Restart fixed it, but it reminded me that no tech is perfect. The seating is decent for short rides, though long trips will test your comfort.
Riding Experience
City rides are smooth. Acceleration is quick, brakes respond well, and handling feels light and easy. But when you add a passenger or ride uphill, the motor shows its limits. For short trips around the city, it’s reliable, but extended rides or heavy loads will reduce the range more than you might expect.
Price and Value
The Ultraviolette F77 is priced around ₹2.2–2.5 lakh, which is reasonable for a city EV with these features. A friend of mine booked one recently, and the dealer advised him to check battery and warranty carefully since long-term reliability and resale are still developing concerns. It’s a smart buy if you know what to expect.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Ultraviolette F77 is a strong contender in urban EVs. Modern looks, smooth city rides, and enough features make it appealing. Minor software glitches and slightly lower real-world range are small but real considerations. My advice? Perfect for daily city commuting and short trips. Plan ahead if you want longer rides or heavier loads.
