Ultraviolette Automotive, an electric vehicle platform and battery technology company, has entered the European market, jointly showcasing its F77 performance electric motorcycle at the Motobike Istanbul 2024 exhibition, with Kibar Holding, from March 20-23, 2024. The F77’s futuristic design, combined with its exceptional performance and eco-conscious credentials, has captured the imagination of Turkish consumers, setting the stage for a successful global market entry.
Ultraviolette F77 comes with three rides modes – Glide, Combat, and Ballistic, each with varying power and range settings. With 30kw of peak power(40HP) and 10.3kWh battery pack, the bike rides high on the performance aspect with its 0-60 km/h acceleration time of just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 152 km/h. The performance electric motorcycle comes equipped with a host of advanced features such as a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth and smartphone connectivity, ride analytics, all LED lighting, 9-axis IMU and dual-channel ABS.
Kibar Holding, a leading conglomerate in Turkey, has ventured into the two-wheeler vehicle sector with the establishment of its new company, K-RIDES, towards the end of 2023, as part of its efforts to expand its presence in the mobility industry. According to Narayan Subramaniam, CEO & Co-Founder, the unveiling of Ultraviolette F77 in the vibrant and dynamic market of Türkiye, in association with K-RIDES, can be traced back to the time of launch of the F77 back in 2022 when Ultraviolette received interests for its flagship motorcycle from over 190 countries hinting towards a strong global demand. “The F77’s display at the MotoBike Istanbul 2024 signifies a decisive leap forward in Ultraviolette’s global expansion strategy. With the F77, motorcycle enthusiasts in Türkiye are poised to be thrilled by its Aviation DNA, ground-breaking design and unparalleled performance,” says Subramaniam.
For Gökhan Lokmanoğlu, Chief Corporate Development Officer of Kibar Holding, the introduction of the F77 to the Turkish rider community in collaboration with Ultraviolette, aligns with its mission to curate a distinctive portfolio featuring the most outstanding brands in the motorcycle world, known for their high performance and unique designs.
