Ultraviolette F77 Owner Crosses 1,00,000 km in just 17 Months
In a landmark achievement for India’s electric mobility sector, an Ultraviolette F77 customer, Harish Surampade, has successfully completed 1,00,000 km of real-world riding in just 17 months. Even more impressively, the motorcycle’s battery has retained 96% health after this extensive endurance run, setting a new benchmark for Indian EV engineering.
The milestone comes at a time when Ultraviolette is expanding both its Indian and global footprint, further validating that long-distance electric touring is not only possible but increasingly practical.
A Ride Across Borders, Climates and Terrain
Harish’s journey took him across nine international borders and through some of the world’s most challenging terrains — from high-altitude mountain passes and forest stretches to long highways and coastal routes.
The ride tested both the motorcycle and the rider in extreme temperature variations, ranging from –15°C in high-altitude regions to 48°C in peak summer heat — a staggering 63°C variance.
In one of the most demanding legs of the journey, Harish covered 613 km in a single day, highlighting the F77’s touring efficiency and powertrain endurance.
Ultraviolette CEO: “Electric touring is no longer an experiment; it is reality.”
Commenting on the achievement, Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder & CEO, Ultraviolette, said:
“Harish’s achievement is a defining moment for electric touring. When we set out to build the F77, the vision was clear – create machines that would shatter every limitation associated with electric motorcycles. Completing 1,00,000 km across cities, highways, borders, and high-altitude terrain proves that long-distance electric travel is no longer an experiment; it is reality. Riders today can tour farther, faster, and more confidently on electric than ever before, and Ultraviolette is leading that transformation.”
Battery Holds 96% After 1,00,000 km
One of the strongest validations from this endurance run is the battery’s retained health of 96% after a lakh kilometres of use.
Speaking about this, Niraj Rajmohan, Co-Founder & CTO, Ultraviolette, said:
“The F77’s battery was engineered to deliver world-class durability, performance, consistency, and long-term reliability. Seeing a customer’s motorcycle retain 96% of its battery capacity after 1,00,000 km of real-world riding is the ultimate validation of that engineering. And the F77 continues to prove what India can build for the world.”
Massive Savings Over Long-Term Use
Over 17 months of ownership, Harish is estimated to have saved ₹4,59,009 in fuel costs — a significant benefit compared to conventional petrol-powered touring motorcycles.
A Milestone for Indian EV Engineering
The endurance achievement showcases Ultraviolette’s engineering capabilities, especially its work in battery architecture, thermal management and long-term stability — all crucial for sustaining performance over extreme distances and climates.
With the F77 completing this feat, Ultraviolette strengthens its position as a global contender in premium electric motorcycle technology.
Conclusion
Harish’s 1,00,000 km journey is not just a personal achievement but a milestone moment for India’s electric two-wheeler industry. The fact that the motorcycle’s battery retains 96% health, despite riding through extreme temperatures and rough terrain, signals a major shift in what consumers can expect from electric motorcycles.
The message is clear: electric touring is here — and it is here to stay.
