Ultraviolette Automotive has made waves once again with its upcoming electric scooter, the Tesseract. Announced earlier this year, the scooter has already crossed a whopping 70,000 bookings—a clear sign that the market is hungry for premium, tech-loaded EVs. Deliveries are set to kick off in the first quarter of 2026, giving early adopters something to look forward to.
Bookings
The hype around the Tesseract began the moment Ultraviolette opened bookings in March. The company had set an introductory price of Rs. 1.20 lakh for the first 50,000 customers. That target was smashed within the first month, triggering a price hike to Rs. 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom) for subsequent bookings. This price applies only to the base variant that comes with a 3.5kWh battery.
Prices for the higher-end variants—rumoured to feature 5kWh and 6kWh battery packs—haven’t been revealed yet. But with bigger batteries and more performance, you can safely expect those trims to come with a steeper price tag.
Performance
Ultraviolette has dropped some exciting numbers on its website, though it’s important to note that these likely reflect the top-spec version of the Tesseract. The highest variant is expected to reach a top speed of 125 kmph, which would place it at the top end of the electric scooter segment in terms of outright performance.
The base 3.5kWh version, on the other hand, might feature slightly toned-down specs, including a lower top speed and possibly reduced acceleration. Still, it should be more than adequate for daily commutes and urban use.
Features
One of the most talked-about aspects of the Tesseract is its long list of high-tech features—something rarely seen in electric scooters. These include:
- Onboard navigation system
- Wireless phone charging dock
- Front and rear radar for collision warning
- Mirrors with integrated blind spot detection
- Smart dashcam system
- Two-level traction control
- Four-level regenerative braking
- Dual-channel ABS
- Hill hold assist
However, keep in mind that many of these premium features may be reserved for the mid- and top-spec trims. The base variant could skip a few, particularly those involving radar or high-end electronics.
Here’s a simplified breakdown:
| Feature | Likely Availability |
|---|---|
| Navigation | All variants |
| Wireless charging | Mid and top trims |
| Radar-based features | Top variant only |
| Blind spot mirrors | Mid and top trims |
| Dual-channel ABS | All variants |
| Smart dashcam | Mid and top trims |
| Hill hold & regen levels | All variants |
Launch Timeline
Ultraviolette has confirmed that full specifications and prices for each variant will be announced towards the end of 2025. This strategy gives the brand enough time to fine-tune each version while building excitement in the EV community.
Once deliveries start in Q1 2026, the Tesseract will enter an increasingly competitive segment. Still, with aggressive pricing (at least for the entry model), futuristic design, and feature-loaded options, it could emerge as one of the most disruptive electric scooters on the market.
For now, if you’ve been thinking of pre-booking, the earlier you get in line, the better the value you’re likely to grab.
