There are days that charge you up. And then there are days when you are the charge.
Today was one of those days — at the Ultraviolette Ballistic Masterclass at Velocity International Circuit, a race-track training program designed for owners of the Ultraviolette F77. A day that blurred the line between passion and precision, speed and sustainability.
On the Track with a Legend
The masterclass was led by none other than Abhishek Vasudev, a name that’s now etched into Indian motorsport history for setting the record on the F99, conquering the fastest quarter-mile by any Indian-manufactured motorcycle in a blistering 10.712 seconds. Having someone of his caliber break down techniques like throttle control, traction, race lines, and apexes was both surreal and inspiring.
It wasn’t just a ride — it was an education in performance. On a race track. On an EV.
The F77 Mach 2 — India’s Homegrown Beast
For the uninitiated, the Ultraviolette F77 isn’t just another electric vehicle. It’s a symbol of how Indian engineering has caught up — and in some ways, surged ahead — in the global two-wheeler space. Designed and manufactured in Bangalore, this electric superbike combines futuristic design with aggressive performance.
0 to 60 km/h in under 3 seconds.
Top speeds touching 155 km/h.
And torque delivery that makes your heart race before the bike does.
Ultraviolette is rewriting the EV narrative — this isn’t about compromise; it’s about domination, cleanly.
Speed, Without the Guilt
As someone deeply committed to nature and wildlife, choosing an electric motorcycle wasn’t just a style or tech decision — it was a conscious one. I’ve significantly cut down on car usage and use the F77 for everyday chores and dare I say, for snake rescues :). But getting to take it on the track gave me a new kind of joy — speed without emissions, thrill without guilt.
This wasn’t just a bike handling course. It was a glimpse into the future of performance riding — one where India leads the pack, sustainably.
What I Took Away
Lines & Vision: Learning to look through the turn rather than at it.
Apex & Flow: Timing and geometry matter more than aggression.
Throttle Control: Smooth is fast. And when it’s electric, it’s instant.
Respect for the Machine: The F77 isn’t just a vehicle — it’s a precise tool for fun, built with intent and intelligence.

So here’s to electric dreams, Bangalore’s brilliance, and a future where racing doesn’t leave a carbon footprint.
If this is the beginning of India’s electric racing story, I’m thrilled to be part of the first chapter.
For a first-timer, ripping through corners on a racetrack, I am thrilled that I got a crash course (minus the crash!) on reading lines, hitting apexes, understanding traction, and mastering throttle control. From electric elegance to ballistic aggression — this experience was pure adrenaline on two wheels.
