The Ultraviolette Tesseract Maxi is a new electric maxi-scooter from Bengaluru’s Ultraviolette Automotive, and it had its global unveil at EICMA 2026 in Milan on November 3. It pairs a 6 kWh battery and 15 kW (20 hp) of peak power with radar-based rider aids and a built-in dashcam.
The first reports appeared on Indian two-wheeler site BikeAdvice at 5:10 PM IST on November 3, followed by EMobility+ and Gaadiwaadi in the evening. Few large Indian outlets had covered the scooter by Wednesday morning, as most focused on the X-47 Venom’s European launch.
Ultraviolette has not given a range, top speed, price or launch date for the Maxi. Here is everything confirmed so far.
What is the Ultraviolette Tesseract Maxi?
The Ultraviolette Tesseract Maxi is a larger, more powerful electric maxi-scooter built for city riding and longer highway trips. It uses a 6 kWh battery, a 15 kW peak motor, 14-inch wheels and a 32-litre under-seat space. Ultraviolette calls it the world’s most advanced scooter, which is the company’s own description.
It was shown alongside the X-47 Venom, which Ultraviolette launched in Europe at the same show, and the lightweight Shockwave electric enduro platform. A touring accessory range was displayed with the Maxi: a taller visor, knuckle guards, a tail bag and pannier stays. That kit signals that Ultraviolette wants the scooter to be used for more than short commutes. Ultraviolette has not yet published the Maxi’s weight or seat height, two numbers maxi-scooter buyers usually check first.
Ultraviolette Tesseract Maxi specifications
| Item | Figure from Ultraviolette’s EICMA release |
|---|---|
| Battery | 6 kWh |
| Peak power | 15 kW (20 hp) |
| Fast charging | Up to 80 percent in under an hour (claimed) |
| Wheels | 14-inch |
| Under-seat storage | 32 litres |
| Display | 7-inch touchscreen TFT |
| Rider aids | Hypersense radar, dashcam, Omnisense mirrors |
| Other | Traction control, regenerative braking |
| Range, top speed, price | Not published |
The 6 kWh battery matches the largest pack offered on the India-spec Tesseract, while 20 hp is a strong figure for a scooter. The missing range number is the biggest gap, because it decides whether the Maxi can really be the long-distance tourer Ultraviolette describes.
What does the Hypersense radar do on the Tesseract Maxi?
Hypersense is Ultraviolette’s radar-based safety system, which the company calls first-in-segment. On the Tesseract Maxi it works with an integrated dashcam and Omnisense mirrors to give blind-spot detection, lane-change assist, overtaking assist and real-time collision alerts. Warnings show up as coloured LED lights built into the mirrors.
On the X-47 Venom, Ultraviolette lists a 77 GHz rear-facing radar that covers up to 200 metres behind the bike and adjusts for lean angles of up to 20 degrees. In a rear-collision situation, the hazard lights switch on automatically. Ultraviolette has not published a separate radar specification for the Maxi, so the exact sensor layout is not confirmed.
How fast does the Tesseract Maxi charge?
Ultraviolette claims the Tesseract Maxi’s 6 kWh battery can fast-charge to 80 percent in under one hour. The company has not stated the charger power, connector type or a full 0-100 percent time in its release. One report mentions Type 2 onboard charging support, but that detail has not been confirmed by Ultraviolette’s own text.
For a scooter that is meant to tour, charging matters as much as range. An hour to 80 percent is fine for a lunch stop, but riders will want to know whether that needs a special charger or works at common public AC posts in Europe.
What else did Ultraviolette show at EICMA 2026?
The headline launch was the X-47 Venom, which Ultraviolette says is road-approved across Europe. Its release lists 30 kW (40 hp) of peak power, 550 Nm of wheel torque, a 155 km/h top speed, 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a 180 kg kerb weight. Autopunditz reported up to 323 km of range.
The company also showed three AI-enabled helmet concepts and demonstrated voice functions such as starting navigation, changing riding modes and running pre-ride checks. The lightweight Shockwave electric enduro platform was on the stand too. Together, the display showed a brand trying to sell a full technology ecosystem in Europe, not just one model.

How is the Tesseract Maxi different from the India Tesseract?
The India Tesseract is a smaller urban scooter announced in March 2025, with 3.5, 5 and 6 kWh battery options and claimed IDC ranges of 162, 220 and 261 km. The Maxi is a bigger maxi-scooter shown for Europe with 20 hp and touring accessories. Ultraviolette has not said if the Maxi will be sold in India.
The India model was first priced at an introductory Rs 1.20 lakh for the first 10,000 buyers, later moving to Rs 1.30 lakh and Rs 1.45 lakh, according to Autocar India and Cartoq. Its launch has been pushed to the first quarter of 2027. Variant-wise final prices have not been announced.
CarBike Insight Analysis
The Ultraviolette Tesseract Maxi tells us where the Bengaluru brand wants to go: up-market and abroad. Radar alerts, a dashcam and a 6 kWh battery are features usually found on far more expensive motorcycles, and putting them on a scooter is a bold way to stand out in Europe’s crowded maxi-scooter market.
The risk is execution. The India Tesseract has already been delayed, and the Maxi arrives without range, price or a date. Ultraviolette’s earlier X-47 Venom launch in India showed it can deliver a technology-heavy product, but scooters are a volume game, and big claims need real-world proof, a point we made about the Simple Energy Wave’s range numbers.
For Indian buyers, the Maxi is a preview of what the brand can build, not a product to wait for. The Indian scooter market is dominated by practical models from Honda and TVS, as our September 2026 scooter sales report shows. The price will decide everything: a maxi-scooter with radar must still compete with established petrol and electric rivals from Japanese and European brands. Our view: if Ultraviolette brings even the radar alerts to the India Tesseract at a fair price, it will matter far more locally than the Maxi itself.
