In brief. The Ultraviolette X-47 Venom is the Indian electric crossover that Ultraviolette launched in Europe at EICMA 2026, with a launch price of €8,450 and deliveries starting in early 2027. It is the new generation of the X-47, built on a 100-volt platform: 30 kW peak power (approximately 40 hp), 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, top speed limited to 155 km/h, 7.5 or 11 kWh batteries, and a curb weight of 180 or 195 kg, depending on the battery.
The claimed range is 227 to 343 km on the Indian IDC cycle, but the official spec sheet also gives values for driving modes that are much more useful for people on the road: 131 to 275 km. Here you'll find the figures and their source, charging times, how far you can really travel in a day, and what remains to be clarified for the Italian market.
The Venom brings a 155 km/h electric crossover to Europe for under €8,500
Ultraviolette is an Indian electric motorcycle manufacturer based in Bangalore. At EICMA 2026, it presented the Venom to the European public alongside the Tesseract Maxi maxi-scooter.
The X-47 is a road-focused crossover: 17-inch wheels, an upright riding position, a windscreen, an 820 mm seat height, and a setup that puts it closer to mid-displacement combustion-engine crossovers than to city-focused electric naked bikes. The Venom is its evolution: the frame and dimensions remain the same, but the battery, motor and control unit have changed, now using a 100-volt platform that Ultraviolette calls VX-100. Compared with the previous X-47, it is up to 17 kg lighter, according to motorcycles.news, its top speed increases from 145 to 155 km/h, and its 0-100 km/h time drops from 8.1 to 5.9 seconds.
In Europe, Ultraviolette has announced a launch price of €8,450 and deliveries starting in early 2027, according to reports from motorcycles.news and Vaielettrico. The sales network relies on national importers: for Italy, motorcycles.news lists Zero Center Italia. For now, the official website only offers the “Register Interest” option in Europe.
The official specifications are comprehensive, but apply to the Indian market
The data comes from the technical specifications published on the Ultraviolette website. Price, importer and European license information come from press coverage at EICMA.

| European price | Launch price €8,450; version and battery not specified | motorcycles.news, Vaielettrico |
| Deliveries | From early 2027 | motorcycles.news, Vaielettrico |
What is still unclear. The €8,450 price does not specify the version or battery. As for the license: motorcycles.news lists category A1, which for electric motorcycles depends on continuous rated power (maximum 11 kW), a figure Ultraviolette has not published; with 30 kW peak power, the motorcycle falls within the A2 license limits in any case. One publication reports 206 kg curb weight, compared with 180 kg in the official specifications: we use the official figure. Vaielettrico and the Indian press mention 12 kW DC fast charging, but it does not appear in the specifications.
Lreal-world range depends on the mode: from 131 to 275 km
The Indian IDC cycle is very optimistic. However, Ultraviolette's specifications also publish estimates by riding mode, along with average consumption: these are the figures to use for planning.
| Mode | Average consumption | 7.5 kWh battery | 11 kWh battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glide (smooth) | 40 Wh/km | 188 km | 275 km |
| Combat (intermediate) | 52 Wh/km | 150 km | 220 km |
| Ballistic (sport) | 60 Wh/km | 131 km | 193 km |
| IDC cycle (Indian homologation) | — | 227 km | 343 km |
For mixed use with a few fast out-of-town stretches, the Combat mode is the most realistic benchmark: around 150 km with the smaller battery and 220 km with the larger one. At 120-130 km/h on the highway, an electric motorcycle's consumption rises significantly, so range drops below these figures: this is a physical limitation of all electric vehicles, not a specific flaw of the Venom.
| 20 to 80% charge | 1.3 kW portable charger | 3 kW boost charger |
|---|---|---|
| 7.5 kWh battery | 3 hr 45 min | 1 hr 50 min |
| 11 kWh battery | 5 h 30 min | 2 h 45 min |
Specifications from Ultraviolette. The connector listed is Type 2 (IEC 62196), the standard for European AC charging stations; the X-47+ and Recon+ versions have a 1.6 kW onboard charger, while the others use a 1.3 kW portable charger. At such low power levels, a 22 kW public charging station won’t speed up charging: it’s the bike’s charger that determines the rate.
For touring, you need the larger battery and a long stop halfway through the day
We’ve worked out a typical day for a motorcycle tourist using the official figures. These are Endurrad estimates, not road tests.
With the 11 kWh Recon and riding in Combat mode, you can plan on around 180-200 km before looking for an outlet, allowing a 10-15% margin for climbs, wind and cold. A 2-hour-and-45-minute lunch stop with the 3 kW boost charger (listed in the specs; it remains to be seen whether it will be standard or optional in Italy) brings the battery from 20% to 80%, or around 6.6 kWh and another 120-130 km in Combat mode. A realistic total for the day is therefore around 300-330 km, on main roads and country roads, with one mandatory long break.
With the 7.5 kWh battery, the figures are lower: around 130 km per leg in Combat mode and, after the same 1-hour-and-50-minute stop with the boost charger, another 85-90 km. For anyone with a garage outlet who takes 100-150 km Sunday rides, that’s more than enough; for a multi-day trip, the larger battery is the better choice.
- you ride 100-200 km a day on main roads and country roads
- you have an outlet in your garage or at work for overnight charging
- you want a bike with mid-size performance and low running costs
- radar and a dashcam interest you (on the Recon versions)
- It’s not suitable for long motorway journeys
- It can’t cover 400 km in a day without long stops
- It doesn’t have an established service network in Europe like traditional brands
- It’s not an off-road bike: 17-inch wheels and road tires with light tread
Four versions: the Recon is the touring model
In India, the Venom is sold in four trim levels. Which one will arrive in Italy, and at what price, has not yet been announced.
| Version | Battery | Charger | Main equipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| X-47 | 7.5 kWh | Portable 1.3 kW | Traction control on/off, 3 regenerative braking levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi |
| X-47+ | 7.5 kWh | Onboard 1.6 kW | Cruise control, navigation, LTE connectivity, 4 traction control levels, 10 regenerative braking levels |
| X-47 Recon | 11 kWh | Portable 1.3 kW | Hypersense radar, front dashcam, handguards and crash bars, cruise control |
| X-47 Recon+ | 11 kWh | Onboard 1.6 kW | Front and rear dashcams, rear-view camera, Violette AI voice assistant, tire pressure sensors |
The 77 GHz Hypersense radar handles rear collision warning, lane-change assist, overtaking alert and blind spot monitoring. The Indian spec sheet lists it only on the Recon models; motorcycles.news, however, says it will be standard in Europe. This is one of the points to verify when the importer publishes the Italian price list.
Before buying it in Italy, pricing, license category and fast charging details are still missing
The motorcycle is well documented, but the published spec sheet is for India. Further confirmation is still needed for Italy.
- Italian pricing by version and battery: €8,450 is the European launch price, with no further details.
- License category in Italy, based on continuous rated power, which has not yet been published.
- DC fast charging: availability and charging times for the European version.
- European WMTC range: one publication cites 235 km, but this is not on the official spec sheet.
- Service network and battery warranty in Italy (in India, 5 years or 100,000 km, extendable).
Travel light on an electric motorcycle
Every kilo and every bit of wind resistance reduces range. For now, no accessories have been declared for the X-47 Venom: these do not depend on the frame.
Official photos show the Venom with a small rear rack. A strap-on bag on the passenger seat is the lightest, most aerodynamic way to carry a change of clothes, charging cable and rain gear, without fitting frames that add weight. Electric riders also need to keep an eye on tire pressure: an underinflated tire increases friction and drains the battery.
- Use
- Luggage to secure on the passenger seat
- Why on the Venom
- Attaches with straps, no frames needed: there's room for the charging cable too
- Good to know
- Compatibility with the original luggage rack must be checked on site
- Use
- Inflation and pressure check
- Why on the Venom
- The right tire pressure reduces friction and helps extend range
- Specifications
- 150 PSI, 35 L/min, 294 g
