👍 Pros & 👎 Cons
👍 Strengths:
- Staggering torque makes for a thrilling ride; that’s especially impressive from its lightweight build.

- Strong feature set: ABS, traction control, regen braking, LTE-enabled TFT display.
- The off-roading bike have already got over 7,000 bookings.
⚠️ Cautions:
- Torque figures (~505 Nm) are wheel torque – some users on Reddit say it’s too much, even marketing gimmick.
- Charging infrastructure remains limited; you’ll likely need to rely on UV’s network or portable chargers.
- Real-world range may be lower with aggressive riding; some early F77 owners note heat and range drop.
🗣️ What Reddit Riders Say
“This looks good… Hopefully they can get this into the dirt bike scene because there is so little option in India.”
“505 Nm torque is unreal… it’s 505 Nm at the wheel, but yes, it’s real (and road legal!)”

The Ultraviolette Shockwave is India’s first electric enduro-style bike, blending eye-catching torque, agile handling, and street legality—all at an attractive introductory price (~₹1.50 lakh). It’s best suited for enthusiasts looking for a fun, off-road-capable EV.
Considerations before booking:
