Ultraviolette has officially delayed the launch of its upcoming Tesseract electric scooter to January 2027. However, the delay also brings a major upgrade, as the Bengaluru-based EV startup has now announced that the scooter will feature India’s first 100V architecture for an electric scooter.
The company says this new platform has been developed to make the Tesseract more powerful, efficient and future-ready. With this move, Ultraviolette aims to push the boundaries in the electric scooter segment rather than being another city commuter.
Why Has The Launch Been Delayed?
According to the brand, the delay comes after extensive testing and customer feedback sessions conducted across India. The company showcased the Tesseract at several events and roadshows, where customers interacted directly with the scooter as well as the engineering and design teams.
Based on the feedback received, Ultraviolette decided to further improve areas like ergonomics, practicality, rider comfort and overall design execution before starting deliveries. The company also mentioned that developing the new 100V architecture required additional engineering work and validation.
The new 100V system is expected to bring several major advantages over conventional electric scooters currently available in the market. Ultraviolette claims the Tesseract will produce nearly three times more power than the current industry average, with a peak output of 15kW.
The upgraded platform will also support significantly faster charging speeds. In fact, the company says the Tesseract will offer almost double the charging speed compared to most mainstream electric scooters. Not just performance, it is also expected to improve Thermal efficiency, performance during aggressive riding, efficiency and more.

Speaking on the announcement, Narayan Subramaniam, CEO & Co-founder, Ultraviolette, said, “Building the Tesseract has been an incredibly ambitious and challenging journey for us. As we pushed the platform further through development and validation, it became evident that achieving the benchmarks we had set for ourselves required additional engineering and refinement, especially on the ride ergonomics and radical redesign of the battery architecture. While this extends our launch timeline, it ensures that every Tesseract customer receives a scooter that is not only future-ready but embodies the Ultraviolette DNA of performance, technology, and reliability.”
In conclusion, the Ultraviolette Tesseract is now expected to be launched in January 2022. If Ultraviolette manages to deliver on its claims, the Tesseract could become one of the most technologically advanced electric scooters to come out of India.
