Customer Access: Offers enthusiasts an immersive brand experience by catering to the end-to-end requirements of the customer lifecycle.

Personalized Test Rides and Service: Experience centre features tailored test ride opportunities, dedicated service assistance, and access to genuine spares.

Bangalore, 22 December 2025 –Ultraviolette Automotive today announced the launch of a new UV Space Station in Bangalore, marking its fourth experience centre in the city and a significant step in strengthening its nationwide retail and service network. The expansion follows a series of recent product and technology milestones, including the launch of the X-47 Crossover and the UV Crossfade carbon-fibre helmet, and reflects Ultraviolette’s continued focus on scaling a performance-driven electric mobility ecosystem. With this addition, the company deepens customer access to its performance electric motorcycles and further reinforces Bangalore’s position as the epicentre of Ultraviolette’s engineering, innovation, and product development.

The newly established UV Space Station, in partnership with dealer M/s. Aadya Inc., will provide customers a comprehensive experience to explore Ultraviolette’s performance motorcycles – the X-47 and F77s. The UV Space Station is a 3S facility and is designed to offer an immersive experience, starting with test ride experience, sales, service, and a range of motorcycle accessories- all under one roof.

The Experience Centre will display the company’s performance motorcycles: the X-47 and F77s. The products redefine electric performance with a powertrain boasting 40.2 hp and 100 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 kph in just 2.8 seconds. Equipped with a 10.3 kWh battery, it boasts an IDC range of 323 kms on a single charge.

Bangalore has been central to our engineering and innovation journey, and our new facility significantly enhances our ability to deliver a seamless, end-to-end ownership experience in one of our most important markets. As we progress towards establishing 100 UV Space Stations across India in 2026, each new location is designed to strengthen operational excellence, elevate customer engagement, and support the growing adoption of advanced electric mobility. This expansion, alongside our increasing international presence, underscores the global relevance of Ultraviolette’s technology and long-term vision.”
