5 Reasons Why the Ultraviolette X-47 Is India’s Most Advanced Electric Motorcycle

Electric bikes are no longer just about saving fuel or going green. Today, they’re also about power, safety, and smart technology.

And guess what? It’s not a global legacy brand leading this change — it’s an Indian company, Ultraviolette Automotive.

Recently, the brand launched the X-47 Crossover, the world’s first radar-integrated electric motorcycle (source: Ultraviolette).

Honestly, when I first heard this, I thought, “Radar? On a bike? Really?” But yes, it’s true. This machine is not your average EV — it blends safety, performance, and futuristic features in a way we haven’t seen before.

So, let’s look at the five big reasons why the X-47 is being called the most advanced electric bike ever.

1. UV HyperSense – Radar Intelligence for Riders

The X-47 debuts UV HyperSense, a 77 GHz medium-range radar adapted for motorcycles. It can monitor traffic up to 200 metres away and works even when the bike is leaning or weaving through traffic.

This radar unlocks advanced safety features, including:

• Blind Spot Monitoring – radar tracks vehicles in your blind zone and dynamically adjusts depending on your speed.

• Lane Change Assist – alerts you when the lane isn’t clear while overtaking.

• Overtake Alerts – warns you of fast-approaching vehicles before they enter your zone.

• Rear Collision Warning – rear radar sensors detect vehicles closing in too quickly.

In short, it’s like having fighter-jet style radar for city and highway riding.

2. Dashcam Module with Sony HDR Sensors

The X-47 comes with a dedicated dashcam system (standard on the Desert Wing edition, optional on the base model).

Key highlights:

• Dual cameras (front + rear)

• 1080p @ 30fps recording

• Sony IMX307 HDR sensors for better clarity in low light

• 120° wide-angle

• Up to 256 GB expandable storage

• 2.5” touchscreen display with anti-theft mounting

This isn’t just a gimmick — it’s useful for recording road trips, security evidence, and reviewing rides later.

3. Serious Performance Specs

Ultraviolette has tuned the X-47 for a mix of urban and long-distance performance:

• Rear Wheel Torque: 610 Nm

• Power: 40.2 HP

• Top Speed: 145 km/h

• Acceleration: 0–60 km/h in 2.7 seconds

• Range Options: 211 km (7.1 kWh) or 323 km (10.3 kWh) IDC-certified

And here’s something bold — Ultraviolette offers a warranty of up to 8,00,000 km on the battery. That’s the kind of confidence you usually see in car EVs, not bikes.

4. Smart Charging – Plug Anywhere

The X-47 comes with an industry-first onboard charger that’s CCS2 Type 2 compatible. This means:

• You can charge at home, office, or any public charging station.

• A unique “Parallel Boost” mode lets you plug in two chargers to double the charging speed.

• Safe charging with 5 levels of protection (thermal, mechanical, electronic, electrical, software).

For Indian riders, this solves a big EV pain point — you don’t need fancy setups, just plug it in like any gadget.

5. Advanced Rider Aids & Electronics

Beyond radar, the X-47 is packed with electronics that make it safer and more fun to ride:

• 4 Levels of Traction Control for better grip on all terrains.

• 10 Levels of Regenerative Braking, adjustable on the go.

• Dual-channel, switchable ABS for on-road precision and off-road control.

• Cockpit-style console with aviation-inspired design, diagnostics, and system health monitoring.

Everything from the controls to the display has been designed with aviation DNA, giving the rider a cockpit-like experience.

Pricing in India

The Ultraviolette X-47 is priced at an introductory ₹2.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant, going up to ₹2.74 lakh. Pre-bookings start at just ₹999. Considering the tech on offer, radar, dashcam, and advanced rider aids, this pricing is extremely competitive.

Final Word

The Ultraviolette X-47 is not just another electric motorcycle. With radar safety, dashcams, smart charging, aviation-inspired electronics, and ballistic performance, it raises the bar for what an EV bike can do.

Yes, bikes like Harley’s LiveWire, Zero’s SR/F, and Damon’s Hypersport are global players. But none of them offer this tech at this price point.

For Indian riders, the X-47 means one thing: world-class innovation at homegrown pricing. And globally, it proves that India can build futuristic motorcycles that rival the very best.
