Track Machine On Road!

Whenever we say that we are on the cusp of transition, the future is changing rapidly; sooner or later, we must face the realities of the EV world. We tend to say this with a heavy heart as deep inside, we still want to experience the limit of an internal combustion engine, mainly with bikes. Ever since the Bangalore-based startup Ultraviolette showcased its F77 bike, it intrigued a sense of curiosity to see it in the real world. After delays and delays, and changes after changes - it finally made it into the market. Ever since it was showcased, I was pretty excited to ride it, primarily because it looked damm fast, and secondly - how well does it evoke thrilling emotions? F77 Recon puts itself in a unique proposition wherein one has no reference point to compare it against. Despite already owning a KTM Duke 390, I was drawn to the electric F77 for its striking appearance and impressive potential sporty character. I have ridden it through city confines and taken highway runs to check if the experience is yet wholesome enough to replace ICE bikes.
