This year, Ultraviolette, led by Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan, unveiled the F77 Mach 2, the next version of their F77 electric performance motorcycle. It included ten levels of regenerative braking, a feature crucial to extending the range of electric cars (EVs), and three levels of traction control.
The bike has a top speed of 155 kmph, 40.2 horsepower, 100 NM of torque, and a maximum range of 323 km between charges. Similar to its predecessor, purchasers must select the “Recon” option for the highest specs. Two hues of red and gray, as well as one yellow, white, silver, blue, and black, are available for the motorcycles.
“The amount of energy we are able to recover through our systems is one of our fundamental innovations,” Subramaniam tells Forbes India. “With regenerative itself, we can recover between 25 and 30 percent of the energy that was used.” By contrast, he claims that modern electric scooters can recoup 5 to 8 percent.
Dynamic Stability Control is another unique function that Subramaniam claims is the first of its kind “on any two-wheeler.” This is how he describes it: One can brake gently, actively, or in a panic when slowing down. In the final scenario, the regenerative system attempts to actively slow down the car while the ABS (anti-brake-locking system) seeks to keep the wheels from locking.
