The electric vehicle market in India is agog, and there is currently one brand that is going hell-bent on stealing the thunder—the Ultraviolette Tesseract. The popularity of this sleek, futuristic-looking electric scooter has affected riders all over the country, and the scooter has sold 60,000-plus bookings even before officially making it to the market. Already poised to become a game-changer in the electric two-wheeler segment, the Tesseract is going to deliver its inners in the first quarter of 2026 and challenge the likes of Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor, and Ola Electric.
Brave Initial Steps into the Electric Scooter Market
Introduced in March 2025, the Tesseract is not another electric scooter. It is arranged to be exceptional in terms of its sporty appearance, advanced modern technology, and performance-oriented features. It is not like many of the scooters that either concentrate on being cheap or having a high range; the Tesseract is stylish, powerful, and smart to attract the next generation of riders. It is enticing to young consumers, especially since the futuristic design and bold engineering promise much more than a means of transportation, and this is an experience.
The initial price of 1.20 lakhs for the scooter for the first 50,000 consumers caused a frenzy, and bookings of the item hit the mark within one month. Costing slightly less than 1.45 lakh on the base model with a 3.5 kWh battery, with prices averaging 1.45 lakh, Tesseract is competitive. It is anticipated that the higher variants supplying 5 kWh and 6 kWh battery packs will have further range and features; however, the complete specifications will be disclosed towards the course of the year 2025.
Tesseract: What is so special about it?
The Tesseract is full of capabilities that made it stand out in a highly competitive marketplace. The TFT touchscreen display that measures 7 inches is a masterpiece, as it is packed with built-in navigation and ride analytics to keep the riders informed. It is safe with front and rear radar, a collision avoidance system, and mirrors with blind-spot detection. It is also full of a smart dashcam, dual-channel ABS, two-level traction control, and a four-level regenerative braking helper, which makes the ride safer and smoother.
Another feature is storage, which has 34 liters of under-seat storage and makes it convenient to carry in day-to-day commutes. On top of all that, you have wireless charging of your phone and hill-hold assistance, and it is surely why people are terming the Tesseract a futuristic machine. These enhancements are appealing to riders who would prefer something more than the mileage: they desire a technology and performance that best fits their lives.
What is so hyped?
The Indian market and the use of electric two-wheelers are expanding rapidly, with such companies as Bajaj, TVS, and Ola in the lead. A 127 km range with a retro-modern design and a price of 99,990 INR makes Chetak 3001 by Bajaj competitive, yet still, the TVS iQube rules the market, selling more than 600,000 of them. Ola is offering its S1 Gen 3 portfolio with a beginning price of 79,999 in front of cost-sensitive customers. However, it has managed to find its niche with high-quality specs and sportiness.
That 60,000 booking suggests a change in the desire of Indian riders. Youngers are giving emphasis to technology, fashion, and strength rather than cost only as a traditional factor. This success of the Tesseract also indicates the increasing level of reliability with new providers with the possibility to compete with legacy brands. What makes it potentially affect the market is its capability to create such demand almost a year before its delivery.
An Opportunity for the Huge Actors
The success of the Tesseract is essentially a warning sign to the established brands. The Chetak brand of Bajaj, with 25 percent market share and an all-metal body, is also an opponent to reckon with. The iQube by TVS is riding high on sales, and the economically priced S1 X models by Ola have gathered huge popularity. The sophisticated functionality and daring design, however, may steal customers out of the hands of these giants and those wanting to buy a high-end, tech-heavy scooter.
The EV market is not like it used to be, where you grab the scooter to facilitate your movement between one point and another. Riders want a scooter that communicates their self-expression. The radar systems, intelligent dashcam, and sleek design place the Tesseract indirect competition with such top-tier models as the TVS iQube ST and the Ather Rizta.
Looking Ahead
The Tesseract promises huge changes, with deliveries scheduled to begin in early 2026. Its current success indicates that electric scooters that break the boundaries are what Indian riders are willing to use. Performance, safety, and smart features in the scooter—this combination has the potential of establishing a new standard in the market. With the mentioned details on prices and variants, things can only get more exciting.
The 60,000 bookings made in the Tesseract are not simple statistics but an indicator of how the electric two-wheeler product is advancing. They want innovation when it comes to riders; brands are answering such calls, such as the Ultraviolette. It will be interesting to realize the advantages that the Tesseract has over the rivals once they hit the roads next year, as the market heats up.
