Bengaluru-based e-mobility start-up – Ultraviolette Automotive Pvt. Ltd, on the 24th of November this year, debuted its high-performance electric motorbike, the F77 in the country at an asking price of Rs. 3.80 lakh for its standard variant. Being India’s first performance electric motorcycle to go on sale, this e-bike has bagged many ‘first’ titles in the country as now, it has become the first Indian electric two-wheeler to come equipped with Bosch’s dual channel ABS system.
About F77 & Bosch ABS
Ultraviolette has partnered with Bosch India to equip its electric motorcycle with the latter’s dual-channel ABS. This allows the rider to maintain stability, thus, contributing to a safer riding experience even during braking. Bosch motorcycle ABS 10 base, adapted to the F77, is the dual channel ABS for two-wheelers with hydraulic brakes both at the front and rear wheels. The technology also brings the rear-wheel lift-up mitigation function to the vehicle, contributing to keeping the rear wheel on the ground when a rider brakes sharply, reducing the risk of rollover.
The electric two-wheelers require significant attention to the subject of recuperation, meaning the recovery of energy. This happens when an electric vehicle brakes or slows down closing the throttle. The Bosch ABS caters to this specific need amplifying the performance of the motorcycle with respect to safety.
Official Statement
Commenting on the collaboration, Manohar Halahali, President, Bosch Two-Wheeler & Powersports, India said: “Bosch has been at the forefront of ensuring rider safety in India and globally, with our vision to move forward in the direction of achieving accident-free mobility. It’s our pleasure to be associated with an innovative partner like Ultraviolette who are bringing in industry-leading technology in their electric motorcycle the F77. The launch of F77 with Bosch ABS will not only make riding an electric two-wheeler fun and efficient but also safe. With this partnership, we continue our contribution towards rider safety not only in the conventional two-wheeler space but also extend it to electric two-wheelers.”
