Ultraviolette Tesseract Features

A Dynamic Regen system on the electric scooter offers four levels of energy regeneration. Meanwhile, two traction control modes help the rider keep it under control on rough or uneven terrains. It also gets several other driving experience-related features such as dual-channel ABS, park assist, and hill-hold.
The electric scooter has an IDC claimed range of 162 km and 220 km with the 3.5kWh and 5kW battery packs, respectively. Meanwhile, the top-end SRB-6 battery pack with a 6kW capacity can deliver a range of up to 261 km. When it comes to charging, the company claims it can be charged from 0 to 80 percent within an hour. Ultraviolette offers an 8-year/2 lakh kilometre warranty on the Tesseract’s battery pack, whichever comes earlier.
The electric scooter gets dual projector headlamps with floating DRLs, a 7-inch TFT screen offering turn-by-turn onboard navigation, Omnisense mirrors with multi-colour LED displays, 14-inch wheels, and a 34-litre underseat storage. Riders also have the option to charge their phones on the go, courtesy of an in-built wireless charger.
For enhanced safety, it has been equipped with an integrated radar and dashcam. The front radar keeps an eye on approaching obstacles while the rear radar tracks vehicles approaching from behind.
