Ultraviolette Tesseract: Top three highlights
Design
The Ultraviolette Tesseract is a large scooter. Now, with that out of the way, let’s look at its design. The Tesseract is a maxi scooter that features a massive front apron and a large seat. The scooter features a sharp, angular design, a similar approach to the F77. The scooter also features a split headlight design, giving it a signature look. Colour options include Desert Sand, Stealth Black, Solar White, and Sonic Pink.
Features
This is where things get interesting. The Tesseract features radars, which help keep an eye on the road and warn the rider of obstacles. That said, the scooter also features a dash cam, a 7-inch touchscreen TFT instrument console wireless charging for phones, and more. The boot space is generous as well — 34-litres.
The electronics suite is also impressive for a scooter, as the Tesseract gets blind spot detection, overtake alert, collision alert, and indication on the mirrors amongst others. The scooter also borrows some tech from the F77 such as dual-channel ABS, traction control, and dynamic stability control.
Battery specifications
Ultraviolette says that the Tesseract can be had with three battery packs – 3.5kWh, 5kWh, and 6kWh – and the range-topping version has a claimed IDC range of 261km. The scooter has an acceleration of 0–60kmph in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 125kmph.
