Ultraviolette has just announced a massive strategic evolution for its Tesseract electric scooter, a scooter that has not even been launched. The original delivery and launch time line was in the second half of 2026, but in true Ultraviolette style of being transparent and adding more value, the brand has officially introduced India’s very first 100V architecture for scooters, a technological leap designed to completely future-proof the EV scooter platform. This major update brings huge gains in performance capability, efficiency, charging potential, and long-term scalability. Because of these major advancements and ongoing product refinement, the official Tesseract launch date has now been moved to January 2027.
Ever since first unveiling the Tesseract, Ultraviolette has been busy running extensive nationwide customer showcases and roadshows. These events allowed thousands of prospective riders and customers to interact in real-time with the vehicle itself, alongside Ultraviolette’s design and engineering teams. The feedback gathered from these sessions played a massive role in refining the electric scooter even further, directly influencing upgrades across ergonomics, comfort, the rider interface, daily practicality, and the overall design execution.
What Does the New 100V Powertrain Architecture Bring?
Shifting to a 100V architecture highlights Ultraviolette’s long-term vision of building a future-ready scooter platform that can deliver incredible tech, efficiency, and performance.
The brand has confirmed that the upgraded 100V powertrain architecture delivers plenty of key upgrades:
- The Tesseract outputs 15kW of power, which is 3X more power delivery than the current industry average.
- It supports 2X faster charging capability compared to the industry average.
- The new 100V setup results in a lighter and far more compact motor controller, charger, and overall vehicle electronics.
- It provides enhanced thermal efficiency, allowing for higher sustained performance and power output even under demanding riding conditions.
- The platform now benefits from an increased load carrying capability.
- The setup offers vastly improved overall system reliability and energy efficiency.
- Riders will also enjoy better comfort, as the scooter will come equipped with a larger seat and increased floorboard space.
Insights From the Founders
Speaking on the big update, Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and Co-founder of Ultraviolette, mentioned that building the Tesseract has been an incredibly ambitious and challenging journey. He explained that as they pushed the platform through development and validation, it became clear that hitting their self-imposed benchmarks required extra engineering and refinement. This was particularly true regarding the ride ergonomics and a radical redesign of the battery architecture. He acknowledged that whilst this decision extends the launch timeline, it guarantees that every single customer receives a future-ready scooter that perfectly embodies the performance, technology, and reliability DNA of Ultraviolette.
Niraj Rajmohan, CTO and Co-founder of Ultraviolette, also weighed in, adding that the vision from the very start was to create a scooter that would completely redefine industry benchmarks. He stated that delivering on their performance and technology promises required them to significantly rethink and evolve the platform. The transition to the 100V architecture is a major step forward, opening the door to higher power delivery, better load carrying capability, and excellent efficiency. He emphasized that every engineering choice made on the Tesseract has been guided by a commitment to deliver a product that sets a brand-new standard for mobility, both in India and globally.
Right now, the Tesseract platform is undergoing extensive real-world testing and validation across multiple terrains, environmental conditions, and riding scenarios. The team is doing this to ensure all customer use-cases are fully covered well before the electric scooter officially hits the market in January 2027.
