Widely regarded as one of the most challenging motorcycle circuits in the world, the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course stretches 60.72 km across public roads, featuring high-speed straights, blind corners and dramatic elevation changes.

A Milestone for Indian EV’s

Ultraviolette says the achievement highlights the growing maturity of electric motorcycle technology and showcases the capabilities of Indian engineering on a global platform.

Call for Electric Racing’s Return

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.
