Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition Launched at Rs 5.60 Lakh in India, Uses Aerospace Grade Materials

The F77 Space Edition electric motorcycle has been launched in the country by the electric vehicle manufacturer, Ultraviolette Automotive. It is a limited edition and is only available in 10 units. The Space Edition's utilisation of aerospace-grade aluminum for some sections and body panels drives up the price to Rs 5.6 lakh (ex-showroom), making it more exclusive and expensive than the basic motorcycle. For those unaware, Aluminum, which was initially used in aircraft many years ago but is now a staple of the automobile sector, is one of the technologies that the aerospace industry has been pushing for years. The aerospace sector uses an alloy called 7075, which is a higher grade of aluminum. It can withstand the pressures, temperatures, and weights of airplanes, spacecraft, and defence machinery. It is stronger and lighter. Read on to know more about the brand-new Special Edition.

The Ultraviolette F77 Space Edition is available in a limited edition colour that is truly aerospace-grade paint. No matter the temperature or airspeed, this paint can withstand most adverse circumstances. Due to its high level of specialisation and ability to keep its characteristics after extreme use, the paint also helps the motorcycle perform better by reducing drag. Moreover, a unique key made out of a single piece of aerospace-grade aluminum will also be given to buyers. The software and electronics of the motorcycle have also been significantly improved by Ultraviolette. These enhancements include several fail-proof battery systems and a 9-axis IMU that measures roll, pitch, and yaw similar to an aircraft.
