Bengaluru-based electric motorcycle manufacturer Ultraviolette Automotive has launched the F77 Mach 2 in Europe at EUR 9,990 (approx. INR 877,921).

The pricing was announced by the EV maker at the 110th Edition of EICMA, Milan, where it not only launched the F77 Mach 2 in Europe, but also showcased the F99 Racing Platform and the futuristic Concept X e-motorcycle.

To begin with, the F77 Mach 2 will be sold in Turkey, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With this Ultraviolette became the first Indian electric motorcycle manufacturer to enter the European Union.

On the other hand, over the course of the next two years, Ultraviolette aims to establish a presence in Europe, North America, Latin America and Southeast Asia.

The Ultraviolette F99 Racing Platform is powered by a 90kW motor that allows the e-motorcycle to accelerate from zero to 100kmph in a claimed flat three seconds. The active aero and cooling ducts are designed to channel air towards the motor. Weighing only 178kg, the F99 can reach a top speed of 265kmph. 

On the other hand, the Concept X e-motorcycle gives a glimpse into the company’s vision and future design language.

Narayan Subramaniam, Co-founder and CEO, Ultraviolette, said, “Ultraviolette is on a journey to create an extensive lineup of electric vehicles that cater to a global audience. The F77 Mach 2, F99 Racing Platform, and Concept X are all part of our vision to build an electric future that offers riders more choices that harmoniously bring together performance and design. Today’s showcase at EICMA is yet another statement of our commitment to constantly innovate and disrupt the status quo.”

Niraj Rajmohan, Co-founder and CTO, Ultraviolette, added, “The launch of the F77 Mach 2 in Europe is a major milestone, but it’s just the beginning. At Ultraviolette, we’re not just focused on developing one product. We are building an entire ecosystem of electric vehicles that cater to different purposes—from urban mobility to racing. EICMA is the perfect stage to showcase our commitment to leading the charge in electric mobility, with many more innovations to come.”

Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has introduced a campaign for its Destini scooter, titled ‘Hero Ka Scooter, Scooter Ka Hero.’ Conceptualised by McCann India, the campaign focuses on the relationship between a father and child, portraying the scooter as a companion for family journeys.

The campaign film features a girl who imagines an evening ride with her father as an adventure involving a dragon. The narrative integrates product features into the story: the metal body provides protection, the mileage exhausts the creature in a race, the legroom stores food and the under-seat storage is used to toast corn.

Aashish Midha, Head of Marketing, Hero MotoCorp, said, “At Hero MotoCorp, we believe the most meaningful stories are those rooted in everyday life. ‘Hero Ka Scooter, Scooter Ka Hero’ celebrates parents – the everyday heroes of every Indian family –through the boundless imagination of a child. The Hero Destini has always stood for trust, comfort and practicality, and this campaign brings those values to life in a way that is both emotionally engaging and deeply relatable. It reinforces our commitment to building products that become an integral part of our customers’ lives and cherished family moments.”

Prasoon Joshi, Chairman, Omnicom Advertising India, said, “The more memorable ideas rarely begin with what a brand wants to say. They begin with something people already feel, but may not have found the words for. When a brand captures that truth, it stops feeling like advertising and starts feeling deeply familiar. Hero Destini expresses this in a simple but evocative manner. Every child sees their father as their first superhero, not because he has superpowers, but because he quietly shows up, overcomes obstacles and finds a way to keep the family moving. In the film, the scooter becomes part of that quiet magic. It isn’t just a ride. It helps turn an ordinary journey into an adventure, complete with a dragon, seen through a child’s eyes. That’s what makes the film linger. It reminds us that true creativity doesn’t need to exaggerate reality; it elevates the genuine emotions already present. And this is where the brands then find a place in people’s hearts.”

By embracing multiple technological avenues, we reinforce our commitment to global carbon neutrality goals while providing versatile, high-quality products tailored to the evolving needs of Indian consumers.”
