Ultraviolette Delays Tesseract Launch to January 2027

The company rebuilt the scooter’s powertrain and electronics into a 100V architecture to preserve promised performance pending homologation.

Overview

  • Ultraviolette announced the revised launch window on Wednesday and says deliveries will begin in January 2027 once testing and certification are complete.
  • Engineers found packaging and thermal limits in the original design and executed a ground-up rework of the motor controller, battery management system and vehicle control unit.
  • The production-spec Tesseract now uses a 100V electrical architecture that the company says enables faster charging, better thermal stability and higher sustained power.
  • Performance targets remain: a 15 kW peak motor, an electronically limited 125 km/h top speed and three battery options — 3.5 kWh, 5 kWh and 6 kWh.
  • More than 70,000 customers have booked the scooter; Ultraviolette will honour introductory pricing for the first 50,000 bookings, and it expects initial production of up to 5,000 units per month while a new Karnataka plant scales capacity.
