- Ultraviolette launched the X-47 Venom in India at an introductory ₹2.65 lakh, ex-showroom, for the first 5,000 buyers.
- It is the first bike on the new 100-volt VX-100 platform, which will underpin future Ultraviolette models.
- Battery options are about 7 kWh and 11 kWh, with claimed IDC range of 227 km and 343 km.
- Claimed top speed is 155 km/h and 0-100 km/h takes 5.9 seconds.
- No Nepal launch or price is confirmed, but the X-47 Crossover is already sold here at Rs. 6,84,900.
Ultraviolette has launched the X-47 Venom electric motorcycle in India at an introductory price of ₹2.65 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). It is the first bike on the company's new VX-100 platform, a 100-volt architecture that Ultraviolette plans to use for its future products. The launch was on 22 October 2026. The Venom has not been officially announced for Nepal yet.
Nepali riders have reason to watch it anyway. Ultraviolette is already sold here through its official distributor, Vaidya's Organisation, which took over from Kedia Group. The X-47 Crossover was launched locally at the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026 at Rs. 6,84,900. A cheaper, faster bike on a new platform could change how the brand is priced in Nepal.
This guide covers what Ultraviolette has confirmed, what we can reasonably infer for Nepal, and what to wait for before you spend money. Our database does not list the Venom yet, so every figure below comes from the launch announcement and Indian market reports, not from our own vehicle records.
Key Highlights
- Introductory price: ₹2.65 lakh ex-showroom Bengaluru, for the first 5,000 customers. The regular starting price is about ₹3 lakh.
- New platform: the VX-100, a 100-volt architecture, debuts on the Venom and will underpin future Ultraviolette models.
- Battery options: roughly 7 kWh and 11 kWh packs.
- Claimed range (IDC): 227 km and 343 km, depending on the battery.
- Performance: claimed top speed of 155 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds.
- Timeline: deliveries in India begin in November 2026, and a European debut is planned at EICMA, Milan, on 3 November 2026.
- Nepal status: no confirmed launch date or price for the Venom. The related X-47 Crossover is already on sale here.
Heads up: Indian outlets report the Venom's price differently. Autocar India lists introductory pricing of ₹2.65-2.78 lakh. Another report quotes a range up to ₹4.12 lakh, which probably includes higher variants. Treat the ₹2.65 lakh figure as the entry price only.
Detailed Analysis
Why the VX-100 platform matters
Ultraviolette's earlier bikes, the F77 and the X-47 Crossover, were built on a different architecture. The VX-100 moves to a 100-volt system. In general, a higher-voltage system moves the same power at lower current, which helps with heat and efficiency. Ultraviolette has also said the platform will be shared across future products. Reusing one platform is how manufacturers bring prices down, and the Venom's ₹2.65 lakh entry price reflects that.
Specifications at a glance
| Spec | Smaller battery | Larger battery |
|---|---|---|
| Battery (approx.) | 7 kWh | 11 kWh |
| Claimed range (IDC) | 227 km | 343 km |
| Top speed (claimed) | 155 km/h | 155 km/h |
| 0-100 km/h (claimed) | 5.9 s | 5.9 s |
The sources do not break the speed and acceleration figures down by battery. Treat them as headline numbers for the bike overall. IDC is an optimistic test cycle, so real-world range will be lower. Expect noticeably less on steep roads or at highway speeds.
Pricing: India versus Nepal
The Indian prices are ex-showroom figures. Nepal adds freight, import duty, excise, VAT and dealer margin. Nepal's FY 2026/27 budget changed how electric vehicles are taxed, moving from the old motor-power (kW) slabs to a system based on the vehicle's CIF (import) value. We have not confirmed how that applies to two-wheelers, so we will not guess a landed price for the Venom.
The existing Nepal pricing is a more useful guide:
| Model | Reported price | Where |
|---|---|---|
| X-47 Venom (introductory) | ₹2.65 lakh | India, first 5,000 buyers |
| X-47 Venom (regular) | about ₹3 lakh | India |
| X-47 Crossover | Rs. 6,84,900 | Nepal, NAIMA Expo launch |
| F77 Mach 2 Recon | about Rs. 10,75,000 | Nepal, reported at the Expo |
At a rough rate of 1.6 Nepali rupees per Indian rupee, ₹2.65 lakh is about Rs. 4.2 lakh before any Nepal costs. That is a conversion only, not a Nepal price. Duty and margins will add a lot to it.
Real-world considerations for Nepali riders
A claimed 343 km sounds generous, but Nepal's conditions are harder than the test cycle:
- Hills: climbs out of Kathmandu valley, such as Naubise or Daman, use far more energy than flat riding. Regeneration on the way down only recovers part of it.
- Valley traffic: stop-and-go riding suits electric motors, so a smaller battery covers most daily commutes comfortably.
- Monsoon: check the ingress rating and service support before relying on any imported bike in heavy rain.
- Servicing: parts and software support depend on the local distributor. Ask Vaidya's Organisation about warranty terms before buying.
Charging is cheap by comparison. Home charging at the NEA domestic rate is about Rs. 10-12 per kWh. An 11 kWh pack would cost roughly Rs. 110-130 to fill from empty at home, assuming typical charger losses are small. Public NEA stations at Rs. 6-10.5 per kWh are cheaper still. Even a bike that costs a lot to buy is very inexpensive to run.
Impact on Nepal EV Market
For buyers: the Venom shows where Ultraviolette is heading. Its earlier bikes sit in premium territory in Nepal, and a lower-cost platform could eventually bring a cheaper Ultraviolette here. If you are shopping for a performance electric bike now, there is no reason to wait for something that has no Nepal date. If you can hold off, a launch would give you a clearer choice.
For dealers: Vaidya's Organisation has the brand's distribution and has already shown it will bring new models to Nepali expos. A bike with a lower entry price widens the audience beyond enthusiasts.
For the market: performance electric motorcycles are moving from niche to mainstream in India, and Nepal usually follows with a lag of months. Competition on price from Indian and Chinese brands should keep pressure on premium pricing. You can see the current range on the Ultraviolette brand page, the Ultraviolette X47 page, and the wider electric bike price list.
Pro tip: if a dealer quotes a price for the Venom in Nepal today, ask whether it is a confirmed import or a pre-booking estimate. Prices quoted before a model is homologated can change a lot.
What to Expect Next
- November 2026: Indian deliveries start, and the Venom is shown at EICMA in Milan on 3 November. Early owner reviews and range tests should appear within weeks.
- Early 2027: if Ultraviolette and Vaidya's Organisation decide to bring the Venom to Nepal, an expo or showroom preview is the most likely route, as with the X-47 Crossover. Nothing has been confirmed.
- Pricing: the ₹2.65 lakh introductory offer is limited to the first 5,000 customers, after which the price reverts to about ₹3 lakh. Nepal pricing, if it comes, will be set separately.
- Platform spread: expect more VX-100 bikes from Ultraviolette over time, which could affect the F77 and X-47 lineups.
We will update this article when Ultraviolette or its Nepal distributor confirms a launch, and add the Venom to our database with verified Nepal pricing at that point.

A: In India the X-47 Venom launched at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹2.65 lakh in Bengaluru, for the first 5,000 customers. The regular starting price is about ₹3 lakh. There is no confirmed Nepal price yet, because the Venom has not been announced for Nepal.
Q: How far can the X-47 Venom go on a charge?
A: Ultraviolette claims 227 km on the smaller battery (about 7 kWh) and 343 km on the larger one (about 11 kWh), measured on the IDC cycle. Real-world range will be lower, particularly on hilly Nepali roads or at higher speeds.
Q: What is the VX-100 platform?
A: The VX-100 is Ultraviolette's new 100-volt electric motorcycle architecture, and the Venom is the first bike built on it. The company says it will be the base for its future products, which helps share costs across models.
Q: Is the X-47 Venom coming to Nepal?
A: Not officially. Ultraviolette is sold in Nepal through Vaidya's Organisation, and the related X-47 Crossover launched here at Rs. 6,84,900 at the NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2026. No Nepal launch date has been announced for the Venom, so check with the distributor before booking.
Q: How much would it cost to charge the Venom in Nepal?
A: A full charge of an 11 kWh pack would cost roughly Rs. 110-130 at the home NEA rate of Rs. 10-12 per kWh. Public NEA stations at Rs. 6-10.5 per kWh would cost less, which makes running costs very low compared with a petrol bike.
