Ultraviolette has confirmed that the upcoming Shockwave electric motorcycle will be built around its new 100V electrical architecture and is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2027. The company has also revealed that the motorcycle will be offered in both single-seat and dual-seat formats.
Production preparations are already underway, with Ultraviolette setting up a dedicated assembly line for the Shockwave at its existing manufacturing facility. While the latest update establishes the launch timeline and key architecture, several technical details are still being reserved for a later announcement.

|---|---|
| Motorcycle | Ultraviolette Shockwave |
| Electrical architecture | New 100V architecture |
| Expected launch | Q1 2027 |

New 100V Platform Could Improve Performance and Charging
The Shockwave will introduce Ultraviolette’s new 100V electrical architecture, which the company says has been engineered to support improved power delivery, better thermal efficiency and faster charging capabilities.
However, Ultraviolette has not yet attached specific figures to these claims. Details such as battery capacity, motor output, charging time and riding range have not been disclosed.
Therefore, while the new architecture represents an important technical change, its actual impact on performance and day-to-day usability can only be assessed once the final specifications are announced.
Designed as a Lightweight Electric FUNDURO
Ultraviolette is positioning the Shockwave as a “FUNDURO”, with the motorcycle designed around a lightweight and engaging riding character.
The company has drawn inspiration from the riding appeal associated with classic two-stroke motorcycles. This refers to the intended character of the motorcycle rather than its underlying mechanical technology, as the Shockwave remains a fully electric model.
The availability of single-seat and dual-seat configurations also gives the motorcycle different usage possibilities. Ultraviolette has not yet confirmed whether the two versions will differ in equipment, specifications or pricing.
Dedicated Production Line Being Set Up
The company has begun preparing a dedicated Shockwave production line at its existing manufacturing facility.
This preparation supports the announced Q1 2027 launch schedule, although Ultraviolette has not yet specified the exact date on which production will begin. The company has also not disclosed the planned manufacturing capacity or the expected customer delivery timeline.
Ultraviolette co-founder and CEO Narayan Subramaniam said the Shockwave and Tesseract have been developed alongside each other over the past year. The company continues to position the new motorcycle around a lightweight and enjoyable riding experience.
100V Architecture Also Features on the Tesseract
The Shockwave’s technology update follows Ultraviolette’s earlier confirmation that the Tesseract will also use the company’s 100V architecture.
The shared architecture indicates that Ultraviolette is extending the technology across different products. However, this does not mean the two motorcycles will have identical batteries, motors, charging systems or performance characteristics.
Product-specific specifications for the Shockwave will determine how the architecture is implemented in the upcoming motorcycle.
Pricing and Technical Specifications Still Pending
Ultraviolette’s latest announcement leaves several important details open.
The company has yet to reveal the Shockwave’s:
- Battery capacity
- Motor output
- Certified riding range
- Charging time
- Final pricing
- Production start date
- Customer delivery schedule
Ultraviolette is expected to provide these details closer to the motorcycle’s Q1 2027 launch. Until then, the confirmed 100V architecture, seating options and production preparations provide the main details available about the upcoming electric motorcycle.
