But beyond the numbers, how does the X47 actually feel as a product?

Design and Ergonomics
The X47's styling strikes a balance between aggression and utility. From the front, it carries a sportbike-like stance with sharp body lines and aero-influenced panels. Yet, step back and you will notice its upright posture, tall handlebar, and optional touring accessories that make it much more than just a city runabout. The dual TFT displays and chrome-like detailing add to its premium aura.
On the practical side, the seating is upright with slightly forward-set footpegs. This gives the rider a commanding view of the road without making the bike feel overly sporty. It's the kind of position that feels natural for both short city hops and longer highway stints. The wide seat, well-padded for comfort, ensures pillion riders aren't ignored either.
That said, its sheer bulk - tipping over the 200 kg mark depending on the battery pack - makes it look and feel heavier than typical 125-150 cc scooters. The payoff, however, is an imposing road presence that carries style with practicality.
Tech and Features
This is where the X47 truly leaps ahead of anything in its segment. Ultraviolette has equipped it with radar-based UV Hypersense, offering functions like blind-spot alerts, rear-collision warnings, and lane-change assistance - features unheard of at this price point. Dual integrated dashcams serve dual purposes: a safety net in case of accidents and a handy action camera for enthusiasts.
The two crisp TFT screens feel intuitive and futuristic, displaying navigation, regen levels, and live diagnostics. Paired with the Violette AI app, owners can unlock OTA updates, ride analytics, and customizable braking profiles. It's less of a motorcycle and more of a connected machine on two wheels.
Motor and Performance
At its core sits a 30 kW (40.2 hp) motor, putting out a staggering 610 Nm at the wheel. On paper, this translates to a 0-60 km/h sprint in just 2.7 seconds and a 0-100 km/h run in 8.1 seconds. Those numbers place it closer to entry-level sports bikes than conventional EV commuters.
Two battery choices cater to different riders: the larger 10.3 kWh pack claims up to 323 km IDC range, while the smaller 7.1 kWh option is aimed at urban commuters with 211 km IDC range. The power delivery feels progressive and well-calibrated, making it exciting without being intimidating. The only compromise? The added weight of those big batteries slightly dulls its agility in dense traffic.
Hardware
Equipped with 41 mm USD forks up front and a rear monoshock with 170 mm travel, the X47 feels ready for the unpredictability of Indian roads. High ground clearance (208 mm) ensures that speed breakers and uneven patches wont be an issue.
The chassis is tuned more for comfort and stability rather than razor-sharp corner carving. Wide tyres on 12-inch wheels provide good grip and balance, while the aluminium subframe contributes to a planted feel at highway speeds. For long-distance riders, the setup feels welcoming, though city riders may wish for a touch more nimbleness.
Braking and Safety
Stopping power comes from a 320 mm front disc and 230 mm rear disc, paired with dual-channel ABS. But Ultraviolette goes further by integrating radar-assisted alerts and Dynamic Stability Control, which smartly combines regenerative braking with ABS to prevent wheel slip during emergency stops.
The dual dashcams double as safety recorders, offering both peace of mind and a legal safety net. And to top it all, the company is offering a battery warranty of up to 8 lakh km, a bold reassurance for those worried about long-term EV ownership.
Why Should You Buy?
If you are an early adopter who wants an EV that feels like the future of motorcycling, the X47 is a near-perfect pick. It'S quick, tech-loaded, and versatile enough to replace both your city commuter and your weekend tourer. However, if your priority is purely budget commuting, there are simpler and cheaper EVs out there. For enthusiasts ready to embrace next-gen riding, the Ultraviolette X47 stands tall as a game-changing option.

Verdict
The Ultraviolette X47 doesn't just enter the EV space - it raises the bar. With radar-based safety, top-notch performance, and a design that caters to both commuters and tourers, it feels futuristic yet rooted in everyday usability. Yes, it carries extra bulk and a higher price tag compared to ICE rivals like the KTM 250 Adventure, but the combination of cutting-edge tech, generous range, and unmatched warranty coverage makes it one of the most compelling electric motorcycles available today.
