The Indian EV scene has been buzzing for a while, but the arrival of the Ultraviolette X-47 Crossover has raised the volume. Within 24 hours of its unveiling, the bike racked up an astonishing 3,000 bookings. Why? Because this isn’t just another electric motorcycle with a bigger battery. It’s being marketed as the world’s first motorcycle with integrated radar and camera tech. In other words, the X-47 is as much about intelligence as it is about power. Let’s break down five reasons why this bike has everyone talking.
1. Radar and Camera Safety, A Global First
The headline feature here is the UV HyperSense system. It combines radar with dual cameras to deliver safety features that were once reserved for luxury cars. Think blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, rear-collision warnings, all packed into a two-wheeler.
2. Performance That Surprises
The X-47 uses a 30 kW motor that puts out 40 bhp and a wheel torque of 610 Nm. Numbers aside, what it translates to is speed: 0-60 km/h in 2.7 seconds.
Top speed? A very respectable 145 km/h.
3. Range That Fits Different Riders
Ultraviolette knows not everyone rides the same way, so the X-47 comes with two battery packs:
- 7.1 kWh with a claimed 211 km range.
- 10.3 kWh offering up to 323 km range.
Add in 9 levels of regenerative braking, and efficiency is baked into the experience.
4. Price and Demand Speak Volumes
The launch price, ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom), caught a lot of people off guard. For a bike that blends high-end safety tech, strong performance, and futuristic design, this is an aggressive entry point. And the response says it all: 3,000 bookings on day one.
5. Comfort Meets Futuristic Tech
You get USD front forks, a monoshock suspension, dual-channel ABS, traction control, and generous ground clearance. On the tech side, there’s plenty to geek out on: ride modes, TFT displays, wireless connectivity, luggage add-ons. It feels built for the rider who loves both convenience and gadgets.
With radar-driven safety, head-turning performance, practical range, and a surprisingly approachable price tag, Ultraviolette X-47 Crossover has all the ingredients to make sceptics rethink electric motorcycles.
