Ultraviolette X47 Crossover: Insane Electric, Thrilling Ride

The Ultraviolette X47 Crossover is the newest electric motorcycle by Ultraviolette, which is based out of Bengaluru, India. The X47 represents a major leap in the Indian two-wheeled electric vehicle market. While the F77 series was focused more on speed and sportiness, the X47 is designed for versatility, capable of handling daily commutes, highway travel, and even mild off-road terrain. It also stands out as the first mass-produced motorcycle in India to include a radar-based ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System).

The X47 Crossover aims to cater to city dwellers and those who enjoy road trips, seeking the excitement of electric-powered motorcycles while maintaining practicality and comfort. It is a bike for riders who want to feel connected to the future of motorcycling while still dealing with the realities of Indian roads.

Ultraviolette X47 Crossover Price in India

The Ultraviolette X47 Crossover starts at ₹2,49,000 (ex-showroom) and goes up to ₹4,49,000 for the top-spec Desert Wing variant. Additionally, Ultraviolette has introduced a battery subscription plan that brings the entry price down to as low as ₹1,49,000 with a monthly battery instalment of ₹2,499, making the X47 far more accessible to a broader audience.

Ultraviolette X47 Crossover Variants

The X47 Crossover is available in five variants:

• Original: ₹2,49,000 
• Original Plus: ₹2,99,000 
• Recon: ₹3,49,000
• Recon Plus: ₹3,99,000 
• Desert Wing: ₹4,49,000 

The key differentiator across variants is the battery pack, smaller for the Original pair and larger for the Recon-based variants.

Engine & Performance

The X47 Crossover uses a Permanent Magnet AC Motor available in two output configurations, 27 kW (Original variants) and 30 kW (Recon and above). Motor torque is rated at 100 Nm, while wheel torque stands at an impressive 550 Nm. Top speed is capped at 145 km/h, and the 0–100 km/h sprint is achieved in 8.2 seconds.

The bike comes with three riding modes: Glide (smooth, suitable for city), Combat (balanced), and Ballistic (maximum performance). In Ballistic mode, the initial 0–60 km/h pull is genuinely exciting, delivering that signature electric rush that no petrol bike in this price range can replicate. The combat mode provides the most balanced performance, combining both responsiveness and range. Glide mode, on the other hand, ensures that new riders have no trouble getting used to the bike.

Mileage & Fuel Efficiency

Original variants claim an IDC of 211 kilometres, whereas Recon variants can cover 323 kilometres in a single charge. However, actual mileage may vary based on riding mode, cargo, and road surface. The nine-level regenerative braking system can be utilised to recharge the battery while braking, potentially increasing the distance covered within the urban environment. Level 4 regen is reported to offer the best balance between feel and efficiency.

On charging, the bike supports four options: standard portable charger (5 hours full charge), on-board charger (4 hours), boost charger (2 hours), and the Supernova fast charger (1 hour to full). The on-board charger is a paid accessory, something that should have been standard across all variants.

Design & Comfort

The X47 Crossover takes a clear departure from the F77’s sharp, crouched sportbike aesthetic. It features a beak-style front fender, a tall adjustable windscreen, wide handlebars, and a more upright silhouette, giving it a recognisable ADV character. The 17-inch alloy wheels, however, signal that this is a road-biased machine rather than a hardcore off-roader. Available colours include Cosmic Black, Stellar White, Turbo Red, and Desert Wing.

Ergonomically, the X47 impresses. The upright riding position, wide bars, and well-padded seat reduce fatigue on longer rides. Both rider and pillion seats are spacious and comfortable. The seat height of 820 mm and kerb weight of 197-207 kg (depending on variant) make it a large bike, but the Park Assist feature, with both forward and reverse modes, makes manoeuvring in tight parking spots far less stressful.

Features & Technology

The X47 gets a 5-inch TFT touchscreen console running on Linux OS, displaying speed, battery level, trip data, and navigation. Connectivity options include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with the Ultraviolette app enabling anti-theft alerts, call and message notifications, navigation assist, and low battery warnings. The bike also features Dynamic Stability Control, Hill Hold, a USB charging port, and a 9-level regenerative braking system.

An optional dual dashcam setup with front and rear cameras, combined with a secondary display mounted above the main console, allows riders to record rides without needing a helmet-mounted camera, a thoughtful addition.

Safety Features

The X47 Crossover is India’s first bike with a rear-facing radar offering 270-degree coverage. This ADAS system provides blind-spot detection, lane-change alerts, overtake warnings, and collision alerts through mirror-mounted tell-tale lights and console indicators. Braking hardware includes a 320 mm front disc with a 4-piston calliper and a 230 mm rear disc with a 1-piston calliper, supported by dual-channel ABS and traction control. 

Suspension is handled by a 41 mm USD fork up front (preload adjustable) and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear. MRF Revz-AT 03 dual-purpose tyres round off a strong safety package with good grip in both wet and dry conditions.

Final Verdict

The Ultraviolette X47 Crossover is an exciting electric motorcycle that has managed to strike the right balance between performance, functionality, and modern technology. The instant torque delivery by the electric engine, the three distinct riding modes, and the suspension configuration ensure a thrilling and confidence-building experience, whether you’re riding through the city or cruising along the highways. While the ADAS radar technology still has room for improvement (with audio signals being transmitted to the helmet intercom systems) in its integration, it is a giant leap for safety technologies in two-wheelers in India. 

Looking at its design, the X47 impresses on the road with the ADV-like stance that it sports, along with its commanding look. The ergonomics are well-thought-out, and Park Assist makes life a lot easier when handling the heavy bike. It even comes equipped with a dashcam option and solid construction to make it future-ready.

Regarding its value for money, the X47 is right up there with petrol tourers such as the KTM 250 Adventure and TVS Apache RTX 300. It stacks up against all of them on most parameters while providing better performance. With the battery subscription plan now available, the barrier to entry has dropped considerably. For riders willing to plan their rides with charging in mind, the Ultraviolette X47 Crossover is arguably the most intelligent, feature-rich electric motorcycle available in India today.
