Ultraviolette has just introduced the Shockwave, an enduro bike, in India, alongside its debut electric scooter, the Tesseract. The Shockwave, priced at Rs 1.50 lakh for the first 1,000 customers, has generated a strong response from the market. Given the high demand, the Bengaluru-based company has extended the introductory offer to an additional 1,000 customers. Meanwhile, Ola, which has dominated the electric scooter market for quite some time, has now ventured into the electric motorcycle space with its Roadster X. While the Roadster X and the Shockwave cater to different audiences and are designed with distinct purposes in mind, here’s a comparison of these two bikes on several key parameters to help prospective buyers decide which one aligns better with their needs and budget.
Ultraviolette Shockwave vs Ola Roadster X+: Powertrain
Ola offers its electric bike in two variants, and the Shockwave’s powertrain more closely resembles the higher-spec X+ model, which features a 4.5kWh battery. The 4.5kWh version of the Roadster X offers an IDC-claimed range of 252 kilometres. In comparison, the Shockwave comes equipped with a 4kWh battery and has a range of 165 kilometres based on IDC testing.

Ultraviolette Shockwave vs Ola Roadster X+: Design
The Shockwave boasts an aggressive, rugged design that complements its enduro-focused purpose.

The Roadster X+ distinguishes itself with a clean, minimalist design, featuring sharp body panels, a distinct rectangular LED headlamp, and a single-piece seat. While the Shockwave is built for tough durability and off-road adventures, the Roadster X+ is designed for city riders who desire a perfect mix of style and sporty performance.
