Ultraviolette is taking its new crossover electric motorcycle to Europe. The Bengaluru company launched the X-47 Venom at EICMA 2026 in Milan. Autocar Professional says this makes Ultraviolette the first Indian manufacturer to retail electric motorcycles in the European market.
Price and timing
According to motorcycles.news, the X-47 Venom costs €8,450 (about $9,480) at its introductory price, and the first bikes are due to be delivered in early 2027. It can be ridden on an A1 licence. In India, the Venom launched on Oct. 22 from 2.65 lakh rupees, a price that applies only to the first 5,000 customers. The outlet cautions that the two prices are not directly comparable because India gets four variants with different batteries.
