Key Takeaways
- The X-47 Venom launched in India from INR 2.65 lakh, the cheapest X-47 yet.
- It is Ultraviolette's first motorcycle on the new 100V VX-100 platform.
- Two packs are reported: 7.5 kWh (227 km IDC) and 11 kWh (up to 343 km claimed).
- A full home charge in Nepal would cost roughly Rs. 75 to 132.
- No Nepal launch, importer or price is confirmed, so avoid unofficial imports.
Ultraviolette has launched the X-47 Venom in India at an introductory ex-showroom price of INR 2.65 lakh (Indian rupees), making it the first motorcycle on the company's new 100V VX-100 platform. It is the cheapest way into the X-47 range so far. We have not seen an official Nepal launch, a Nepal importer or a Nepal price. Everything below about the bike is from the Indian launch.
The X-47 Venom keeps the steel trellis frame, dimensions, brakes and suspension of the existing X-47. Ultraviolette changed the battery, motor, controller, charging hardware and feature list. That makes it more of a platform upgrade than an all-new bike.
Nepal buyers have no local price or availability to plan around yet. This guide covers what the Venom offers, what it might cost to run here, and which EVs you can buy in Nepal today if you are shopping at this budget.
Key Highlights
- INR 2.65 lakh is the introductory ex-showroom price in India. One report says it applies to the first 5,000 customers.
- Reports list four variants: Venom, Venom+, Recon and Recon+. Introductory prices run from about INR 2.65 lakh to about INR 4.12 lakh, depending on the source.
- It is the first Ultraviolette motorcycle on the 100V VX-100 platform.
- Two battery options are reported: 7.5 kWh and 11 kWh.
- The smaller pack is claimed at 227 km (IDC). Some listings cite up to 343 km for the 11 kWh version.
- Listed features include a 7-inch digital cluster, remote tracking, cruise control and reverse mode.
- Radar-based features are reportedly limited to the Recon variants.
- Colours: Afterburner Yellow, Turbo Red, Cosmic Black and Stellar White.
- No Nepal launch, importer or price has been announced.
Detailed Analysis
What actually changed
Ultraviolette kept the hardware that riders already know and swapped the electrical side. The frame is the same steel trellis. Tyres are 110/70 R17 at the front and 150/60 R17 at the rear. Brakes and suspension carry over.
The VX-100 platform is the big change. A 100V system generally lets a bike deliver power and charge more efficiently than a lower-voltage setup. Ultraviolette has not published every detail in the reports we found, so treat efficiency gains as the company's claim until independent tests appear.
Variants and introductory prices (India)
Sources differ by a small margin, so each variant is shown as a range. These are Indian ex-showroom prices in INR, not Nepal prices.
| Variant | Reported introductory price (INR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Venom | 2.65 to 2.78 lakh | Entry variant |
| Venom+ | 3.15 to 3.28 lakh | Step-up features |
| Recon | 3.75 to 3.88 lakh | Radar-based features |
| Recon+ | 4.00 to 4.12 lakh | Top variant |
Pro tip: The INR 2.65 lakh headline price is for the entry Venom only. Compare it with other bikes' entry variants, not with the Recon.
Battery and range: read the fine print
The two packs are 7.5 kWh and 11 kWh. Ultraviolette quotes the smaller pack at 227 km on the IDC cycle. Some listings quote up to 343 km for the 11 kWh pack. Sources disagree on which variant gets which pack and on the exact range figures, so check the official spec sheet before you rely on any number.
IDC figures are lab numbers. Expect noticeably less in real use. Nepal's hills will hurt more than Indian city riding: long climbs such as Kathmandu to Nagarkot or Pokhara to Sarangkot use far more energy than flat commuting. Plan on well under the claimed figure when climbing.
What it would cost to charge in Nepal
Using our standard Nepal charging rates, these are the estimated costs for a full charge. They are calculated, not measured, and ignore charging losses.
| Charging method | Rate per kWh | 7.5 kWh pack | 11 kWh pack |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEA public station | Rs. 6 to 10.5 | Rs. 45 to 79 | Rs. 66 to 116 |
| Home (NEA domestic) | about Rs. 10 to 12 | Rs. 75 to 90 | Rs. 110 to 132 |
| Private fast charger | Rs. 15 to 20 | Rs. 113 to 150 | Rs. 165 to 220 |
Even at a private fast charger, a full charge costs a small fraction of a tank of petrol for a comparable performance bike. That running-cost gap is the main reason premium electric motorcycles appeal to Nepali commuters.
Why the Venom matters for performance buyers
Most electric two-wheelers in Nepal are scooters. Performance electric motorcycles are rare. The Venom is aimed at riders who want a sporty bike with electric running costs, cruise control and a connected dashboard. Its pricing is also aggressive for a bike with radar-equipped versions in the same family.
Impact on Nepal EV Market
Nepal's electric two-wheeler market is growing fast but is crowded. Recent reports describe it as highly fragmented, with roughly 50 scooter and motorcycle brands. They also describe electric two-wheelers as close to 10% of the overall two-wheeler market. Electric scooter imports have jumped sharply, led by Indian brands such as Ather, Chetak and TVS alongside Chinese makers such as Yadea.
What this means for different groups:
- Buyers: You cannot buy a Venom in Nepal through an official channel today. Be careful with grey-market imports. Warranty, battery service and software support are the real risks with a bike that has no local dealer.
- Dealers and importers: A premium Indian electric motorcycle priced competitively for its segment could be interesting. Import duty will push the Nepal price well above the Indian figure, though.
- Rivals: Indian brands entering Nepal, such as Revolt, which has announced its entry with a local distributor, will face a more capable competitor if the Venom arrives.
If your budget is closer to a small car than a performance motorcycle, here is how the cheapest four-wheelers in our database compare. Prices are live from our database.
| Model | Price in Nepal | Battery | Claimed range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seres E1 Mid | Rs. 16,49,000 | 13.8 kWh | 180 km |
| MG Comet Pace | Rs. 18,75,000 | 17.3 kWh | 230 km |
| Henrey Mincar | Rs. 19,95,000 | 16.5 kWh | 205 km |
These are small city cars with 4 seats and a top speed of about 100 km/h. They are a different kind of purchase from a motorcycle, but they show what the entry end of Nepal's EV market costs today.

Pro tip: If you ride mainly in the Kathmandu valley, a 7.5 kWh-class pack is plenty for daily use. The bigger pack matters for highway trips and hill routes.
What to Expect Next
Nothing about the Venom's Nepal plans is confirmed. Here is what to watch for.
- Reviews and range tests in India. Real-world tests of both packs should show how close they come to the claimed 227 km and 343 km figures.
- Introductory pricing ending. The INR 2.65 lakh offer may be limited to early customers, so the long-term price could be higher.
- A Nepal distributor announcement. Nepal's mobility expos are where new two-wheeler brands usually appear. Any announcement would come with a Nepal price that includes duties.
- Local service support. Before you buy any imported performance EV, ask about battery warranty and who will service it.
We will update this page if an official Nepal launch is announced.
