Motorcycles function as more than transportation in India as they hold emotional significance for our society.

Since the start of our existence, we have developed deep feelings for motorcycles enabling us to maneuver through traffic and enjoy weekend trips together while delivering pulses of speed rushes.

The electric motorcycle Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet Recon has introduced itself as a disruptive force which aims to transform the market.

But the big question is - Can an electric bike match up to the traditional petrol motorcycles we’ve known and loved for years?

Let’s break it down in a no-nonsense, straight-up comparison.

The Power Game - Instant vs Gradual Acceleration

Motorcycle power usually describes engine displacement values measured through engine CCs according to popular perception.

Motorcyclists consider motorcycles with 150cc engines to have sufficient power but those with 350cc engines are declared strong and devices over 500cc deliver "beast mode" performance.

The F77 SuperStreet Recon breaks away from established speed definitions since it establishes its approach to power delivery.

The Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet Recon receives its power from a 30 kW electric motor that yields 40.2 hp and massive 100 Nm torque. The torque that is available right now is the exciting part.

The throttle twist controls an immediate raw power delivery while the RPM meter and gear shifts become unnecessary for power application.

Compare that with a petrol motorcycle:

• The F77 surpasses the power output of the KTM Duke 390 since its 37 Nm torque falls well below the 100 Nm of the F77.

• Although the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 generates 52 Nm torque it demands high rpm before delivering maximum power.

• The F77 reaches 60 km/hr from a standstill in 2.8 seconds. The standard 250-400cc petrol motorcycle requires between 3.5 seconds to 4 seconds for its acceleration.

With the F77, you’re doing 0–60 kmph in just 2.8 seconds. A regular 250-400cc petrol bike takes at least 3.5 to 4 seconds. That means at every red light, you’ll leave everyone in the dust.

Verdict: F77 SuperStreet Recon is an absolute powerhouse.

Top Speed - Does It Hold Up Against Petrol Bikes?

The Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet Recon reaches a maximum speed of 155 kilometers per hour. Now, let’s compare:

• A KTM RC 390 does 170 kmph

• At its highest speed, the Yamaha R15 reaches only 140 kmph.

• A Royal Enfield Classic 350? About 120 kmph.

A few petrol motorcycles provide marginally better acceleration but Indian drivers most likely would not need top speeds exceeding 120 kmph. Given the combination of brakes and road hazards together with traffic obstacles, it becomes clear that 155 kmph matches the practical needs perfectly.

Verdict: Petrol bikes have a slight edge, but the F77 is close enough.

Range Anxiety? Not Anymore

This is the first thing people ask about electric motorcycles, “Kitna chalti hai?”

The Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet Recon offers a range of up to 323 km on a single charge. 120 km is higher than any 150-250cc petrol motorcycle can handle in one tank. Let’s compare:

• A Royal Enfield Classic 350 (13L tank, 35 kmpl): 450 km range

• A KTM Duke 250 (13.5L tank, 30 kmpl): 400 km range

• A Pulsar NS200 (12L tank, 35 kmpl): 420 km range

Yes, petrol bikes may go a bit further, but with charging stations increasing every day, trust me range anxiety is no longer a deal-breaker for us.

Verdict: Petrol bikes still win on the range, but F77 is closing the gap fast.

Running Costs - Petrol vs Electricity

A crucial price disparity emerges in this part regarding running expenses.

• Ultraviolette F77: An Ultraviolete F77 vehicle requires between 50 rupees to 100 rupees to achieve full charge dependent on electricity rate pricing. Per km cost? Under 20 paise.

• Petrol Bike: The running expense for motorcycles equipped with 35 kmpl mileage and requiring ₹100 petroleum per liter amounts to ₹3 per kilometer of travel.

Now, let’s do some quick math:

• The monthly cost to operate the F77 for 1000 km distance amounts to ₹200 while traditional fuel motorcycles require ₹3,000.

• In a year, that’s ₹2,400 vs ₹36,000.

The savings over five years? ₹1.5 lakh+. The savings amount to enough money for purchasing an entire different motorcycle.

Verdict: F77 wins by a mile.

Tech & Smart Features - Petrol Bikes Can’t Compete

The F77 sets petrol motorcycle to absolute destruction when it comes to this aspect. Here’s why:

• Violette AI:Violette AI provides constant monitoring of 3000 data points during every second to enhance your driving experience.

• Riding Modes: Choose your preferred riding mode from the available options including Glide, Combat, and Ballistic to determine the drive aggressiveness.

• Regenerative Braking: Regenerative braking function provides 10 adjustable levels of power recharge when the biker slows down.

• Hill Hold Assist & Traction Control: The F77 maintains your stability no matter which slope you encounter alongside its ability to control movements in wet conditions.

• Mobile App Integration: The mobile application allows you to monitor battery status along with call and message notifications without leaving your motorcycle.

Traditional petrol motorcycles fail to provide these intelligent capabilities to their users. The possible connectivity features on these motorcycles include Bluetooth and navigating functions while the true AI optimization systems remain absent.

Verdict: Petrol bikes feel outdated in comparison.

Maintenance - Less Hassle, More Riding

• Petrol motorcycles require oil service together with spark plug replacements along with clutch fixations and exhaust system maintenance.

• F77? F77 needs only charging power to operate since it lacks an engine or oil system or gears or exhaust emissions.

You need to check only two components before riding your F77 electric motorcycle. Brake pads and tires. That’s it.

Verdict: F77 is way easier to maintain.

Eco-Friendliness - Clean & Green

From start to finish a petrol motorcycle generates massive amounts of CO2 emissions during its operational life. The F77? Zero emissions.

• No petrol.

• No exhaust fumes.

• No noise pollution.

The ongoing push for sustainability makes F77 the environmentally friendly option that buyers should select.

Verdict: F77 for a cleaner future.

Final Verdict

A person looking for a high-performance futuristic motorcycle that respects the planet and needs no care along with generating attention at every stop should choose the Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet Recon.

• It’s insanely fast.

• It’s way cheaper to run.

• It’s loaded with smart tech.

• It’s environmentally friendly.

Traditional petrol motorcycles? These motorcycles have strong merits yet their time is in the past. The F77 provides more than motorcycle capabilities because it serves as a transformation in the world of motorcycles.

So, are you ready to ride into the future? The Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet Recon is waiting for you.
