Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 e-bike receives UNECE certification for global sales

Bengaluru-based Ultraviolette Automotive has achieved a new milestone with its F77 Mach 2. The electric performance motorcycle has received the global L3e certification under the ‘United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)’ regulation, which approves the e-bike for road use across 40 countries globally, including the European Union.

What is the UNECE L3e Certification?

The UNECE L3e certification approves the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 for road use for A1 and A2 licence holders. This essentially pits the model against several sub-500 cc motorcycles, including the KTM 390 Duke, Aprilia RS 457, Kawasaki Ninja 500, Honda CB500F Hornet, Yamaha R3, BMW G 310 R and others. Notably, the KTM and Aprilia modes are made in India and exported to Europe.

The Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 packs 40 bhp and 100 Nm, a little less than the KTM 390 Duke. It is significantly heavier though in comparison (Ultraviolette )

The Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 was recently introduced in Germany, Turkey, and Nepal, the first international markets to get the electric motorcycle. The first batch of bikes was also shipped to Europe in September. The latest global certification gives the manufacturer more headroom to expand operations globally. The F77 Mach 2 is an updated version of the electric motorcycle with a host of improvements. We rode the updated UV F77 Mach 2 earlier this year and came back impressed with the changes.

Ultraviolette Confirmed At EICMA 2024

Ultraviolette has also confirmed its participation at EICMA 2024 next month in Italy and will be showcasing the F77 Mach 2. It’ll be interesting to see if the brand has some new surprises in store like the F99 concept from last year. UV will also begin dispatches to more markets in the European Union imminently post-EICMA, following Germany and Turkey. It’s noteworthy to mention that UV commenced sales of the F77 in India in late 2022 and has managed to scale up operations to multiple cities in India this year while also establishing its presence in Europe.

Speaking about the certification, Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and Co-Founder - Ultraviolette, said, "Achieving this international certification is a monumental moment for us, as it opens doors to a much larger global audience. This certification is not just a regulatory milestone, but a reflection of our relentless pursuit of world-class standards in design-led performance. We are thrilled to introduce this groundbreaking machine to the demanding markets of Europe, who will appreciate Ultraviolette’s prowess in cutting-edge technology, engineering and design."

Niraj Rajmohan, CTO and Co-Founder - Ultraviolette, said, “Our vision has been to create globally competitive motorcycle platforms steeped in technology. This global certification underscores our commitment to delivering world-class high-performance electric vehicles, designed and engineered in India for global markets. As we expand into Europe, we believe the F77 Mach 2 will redefine the future electric mobility on the global stage."
