Speaking on the achievement, Ultraviolette CEO and co-founder Narayan Subramaniam highlighted the historical significance of the Isle of Man TT and referenced the former TT Zero electric motorcycle category.

According to Subramaniam, electric motorcycles have now reached a level of performance and capability that could support the return of electric racing to the Isle of Man TT, helping drive the next phase of innovation in the motorcycle industry.
