The Ultraviolette Shockwave will launch in the first quarter of 2027, built on the company's new 100V architecture. Ultraviolette announced this on September 29, 2026. It says the new architecture brings the potential for stronger power delivery, higher thermal efficiency and faster charging. The Shockwave will come in single-seat and dual-seat versions. Final specs and launch details will come closer to launch.

If you've been asking "when is the Shockwave coming?" for a while, you finally have a window.

What Ultraviolette confirmed

Here's the confirmed list, straight from the company:

  • Launch window: Q1 2027
  • Platform: the newly developed 100V architecture
  • Seating: both single and dual-seat configurations
  • Production: the line is already being set up inside Ultraviolette's existing manufacturing facility
  • Development: the Shockwave and the Tesseract have been in parallel development for the past year
  • Character: a lightweight funduro (FUNDURO) inspired by the raw, spirited feel of classic two-stroke motorcycles

CEO Narayan Subramaniam said the aim was always to bring back "the pure enjoyment of riding." The Tesseract is also moving to the 100V architecture, though the company says the two vehicles are built for distinct riding experiences. If you want to see how the scooter stacks up against the brand's flagship, here's a Tesseract vs F77 Mach 2 Recon comparison on EVFY.

What "100V architecture" actually means

Ultraviolette hasn't published the engineering details, so here's the general idea. Treat it as background, not as a spec sheet.

An electric bike's power is voltage times current. Raise the voltage and you can deliver the same power with less current. Less current usually means less heat in the wiring and components, which is where the "higher thermal efficiency" claim probably comes from. It can also help with fast charging and sustained power, because the system isn't working as hard to move the same energy.

Ultraviolette lists three potential benefits:

BenefitWhat it could mean for you
Stronger power deliveryPunchier, more consistent performance
Higher thermal efficiencyLess heat buildup, which helps with repeated hard riding
Faster chargingLess time plugged in

Notice the word "potential." The company's own release hedges here, so real-world numbers will have to wait for the final specs.

What we don't know yet

Let's be honest about the gaps. Ultraviolette hasn't shared:

  • Price
  • Battery capacity and range
  • Power and torque figures
  • Charging speeds
  • Exact launch date within Q1 2027
  • Delivery timelines and cities

Earlier coverage did throw out numbers. EVFY's earlier Shockwave delivery report cited an introductory price of Rs 1.49 lakh for early buyers and a standard ex-showroom price of around Rs 1.75 lakh, plus deliveries from July 2026. Those figures came before today's 100V announcement and the Q1 2027 timeline. Treat them as old context, not the final word. Wait for the official spec announcement before you make a booking decision.

Who should keep an eye on it

  • Riders who miss two-stroke fun but want electric torque and low maintenance
  • Trail and weekend riders who want a light bike that's easy to flick around
  • Pillion-minded riders, since the dual-seat option matters if you're not always riding solo
  • Current Ultraviolette owners curious about where the brand's tech is heading

A practical tip: if you're already shortlisting bikes for early 2027, don't lock in another purchase yet. Q1 is close, and the specs will land before the bike does.

Final takeaway

The Shockwave now has a launch window, a new 100V platform, and a production line taking shape. What it doesn't have yet is a spec sheet or a price. Watch for the official details in the run-up to Q1 2027, and until then, enjoy the anticipation. It's a good time to be an electric motorcycle fan.
