Indian electric motorcycle company, Ultraviolette has released a limited edition version of its F77 motorcycle to celebrate India’s recent moon landing expedition. The Space Edition isn’t just a NASA-Punk reskin of the F77, though — it comes with extra torque, a higher top speed, and a tad more acceleration.
After the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully landed both a lander and a rover on the south pole of the moon, Indian electric motorcycle startup, Ultraviolette, has taken the wraps off what must be one of the most uniquely-styled limited edition motorcycles in recent memory.
The highlight of the F77 Space Edition is undoubtedly its new looks, with the Cosmic White paint, orange and blue highlights, and space-inspired graphics. It basically looks like it was ripped right out of a sci-fi video game or an episode of Star Trek.
That said, the Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition is more than just a visual rework, with a tweaks to the hub motor and power train resulting in small bumps in both power and torque, with all the benefits those spec bumps bring.
Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition specifications highlights:
- Top speed: 152 km/h.
- Acceleration: 7.8 second 0-100 km/h time.
- Power: 30.2 kW (40.5 hp).
- Torque: 100 Nm (73.8 lbs-ft).
- Range: 171 km to 307 km, depending on the riding mode.
Like the standard versions of the F77 electric motorcycle, the Space Edition also features Bluetooth, LTE, and Wi-Fi connectivity, and runs a custom Linux OS on a five-inch TFT display in the cockpit.
Being a limited edition, the F77 Space Edition has already sold out of its ten-unit allocation, with no indication that the company plans on producing any more. Clearly, the F77 Space Edition is meant to be a celebration of India’s space exploration, rather than an actual obtainable product, which is a shame for anyone looking for an electric motorcycle with a unique look.

My interest in tech started in high school, rooting and flashing my Motorola Defy, but I really fell down the rabbit hole when I realised I could overclock the i7 930 in my Gigabyte pre-built PC. This tinkering addiction eventually lead me to study product design in university. I think tech should improve the lives of the people using it, no matter the field. I like to read and write about laptops, smartphones, software and trends in technology.
