When we first heard about Ultraviolette’s latest creation, the Tesseract electric scooter, I have to admit we were skeptical. Another premium electric scooter promising the world? But after diving deep into what this machine offers, I can confidently say this isn’t just another addition to the market – it’s a statement.
Speed That Will Leave You Breathless
Let me start with what caught my attention first: the sheer speed. With a top speed of 125 kilometers per hour, the Tesseract doesn’t just compete with traditional scooters – it leaves them in the dust. What really impressed me is how it rockets from 0 to 60 km/h in just 2.9 seconds. That’s sports bike territory we’re talking about here.
The 20.1 bhp motor sits perfectly in the middle, giving you that balanced feel when you’re carving through city streets or hitting the highway. I particularly appreciate how Ultraviolette has given riders four different riding modes. Whether you want to cruise economically or unleash the beast, there’s a setting for every mood.
Range That Actually Makes Sense
Here’s where many electric scooters fall short, but the Tesseract delivers. With a range of up to 261 kilometers on a single charge, you can actually plan longer trips without constantly worrying about finding charging stations. We’ve all been there – that anxiety when your phone battery hits 20%, except with vehicles, it’s much worse.
What really sets this apart is the battery flexibility. You can choose from three variants: 3.5 kWh, 5 kWh, or 6 kWh, depending on your needs and budget. The 30-minute fast charging is a game-changer. Grab a coffee, and you’re ready to roll again.
Design That Turns Heads
I won’t lie – looks matter, especially when you’re spending this kind of money. The Tesseract’s aircraft-inspired design isn’t just for show. It’s futuristic without being over the top, aggressive without being intimidating. The 14-inch alloy wheels give it a substantial presence on the road.
The practical side hasn’t been forgotten either. That 34-liter under-seat storage is genuinely useful – I can fit my full-face helmet with room to spare. The dual disc brakes with dual-channel ABS provide confidence when you need to stop quickly, which is crucial given the scooter’s performance capabilities.
Technology That Works
The advanced digital display and smart connectivity features aren’t just fancy additions – they’re genuinely useful. In today’s connected world, having your scooter sync with your smartphone feels natural rather than gimmicky. The regenerative braking system with four levels means you can maximize your range while enjoying that smooth deceleration feeling.
The Reality Check: Price and Availability
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room – the price. Starting at ₹1.20 lakh for early adopters, climbing to ₹2 lakh for the top variant, this isn’t an impulse purchase. But when you compare it to what you get – the performance, range, and features – the value proposition starts making sense.
The catch? You’ll have to wait until early 2026 for delivery. That’s quite a wait, but it also gives Ultraviolette time to perfect the manufacturing process and ensure quality control.
Should You Consider It?
If you’re someone who refuses to compromise on performance just because you want to go electric, the Tesseract deserves your attention. It’s not for everyone – the price point ensures that. But for riders who want the best of both worlds – environmental consciousness and performance – this could be the scooter you’ve been waiting for.
The early bird pricing makes it tempting for the first 50,000 customers, but remember, you’re essentially pre-ordering a product that won’t arrive for over a year. That requires faith in the brand and patience.
My verdict? The Ultraviolette Tesseract represents what electric mobility should aspire to be – powerful, practical, and genuinely exciting. Whether it’s worth the wait and the premium price depends on your priorities and patience level.
