Ultraviolette的高端电动摩托车赌注:Zoho和Lingotto投入4500万美元E轮融资
Ultraviolette赌印度骑手会为高性能电动摩托车买单;Zoho和Lingotto于2025年12月向其E轮融资投入4500万美元。
Ultraviolette Automotive
做的是什么生意
Ultraviolette designs and builds high-performance electric motorcycles and battery technology in Bengaluru, selling the F77 performance bike, the radar-equipped X-47 crossover and upcoming Shockwave and Tesseract platforms in 30 Indian cities and 12 countries.
启动资金:$45M Series E tranche (announced 2025-12-04) from Zoho Corporation and Lingotto, on top of earlier backers TVS Motor, Qualcomm Ventures, TDK Ventures and Speciale Invest.
起因
Childhood friends Narayan Subramaniam and Niraj Rajmohan founded Ultraviolette in Bengaluru in 2016. The company made its name with the high-performance F77 electric motorcycle, betting that India had enthusiasts who would pay a premium for an electric bike built on performance rather than on commuter economics.
经过
The company added production of the X-47 crossover at its Electronic City plant, describing it as the world's first radar-integrated motorcycle with its UV HyperSense sixth-generation radar system. In FY25 revenue doubled to Rs 32.3 crore while the net loss widened 89% to Rs 116.3 crore; the founders said gross margins were positive on every product sold and targeted operating EBITDA break-even in late 2026. The F77 launched in the UK in 2025, expanding the brand to 12 European markets.
结果
On 2025-12-04 Ultraviolette announced a $45M Series E tranche from Zoho Corporation and Lingotto, the investment firm linked to Exor and a long-time backer of Ferrari. The company said it would add a production line, bring a new facility online in 2026, launch the Shockwave and Tesseract platforms, and grow from 30 to 100 Indian cities by mid-2026; the CEO said an IPO would be considered in an 18-to-24-month window.
背景
Ultraviolette Automotive由童年好友Narayan Subramaniam和Niraj Rajmohan于2016年在班加罗尔创立,制造高性能电动摩托车和电池技术。产品线从高端F77到配备雷达的X-47跨界车,接下来计划推出Shockwave和Tesseract平台。
公司的赌注是,印度的电动汽车故事不仅关乎廉价踏板车:有一群骑手会为围绕性能、续航和电池工程设计的电动摩托车买单,从而给初创企业空间,在追求销量之前建立品牌。
到2025年底,这一赌注显示出成功的迹象。Ultraviolette表示需求增长迅速,足以增加生产班次和另一条生产线,作为12国欧洲扩张的一部分,在英国推出了F77,并报告FY25收入翻倍至3230万卢比,尽管净亏损因投资产能和产品而扩大了89%,至1.163亿卢比。
2025年12月4日,公司宣布从Zoho和Lingotto获得4500万美元的E轮融资,后者与Exor有关联,以支持法拉利而闻名。公司计划到2026年年中覆盖100个印度城市,在2026年推出新平台和新设施,并表示可能在18至24个月内启动IPO流程。
这件事要成立,得有什么
- 高端定位让Ultraviolette在性能和电池技术上竞争,而非陷入补贴驱动的踏板车价格战。
- 创始人表示,每款产品的毛利率均为正,这给了公司在整体亏损因扩张支出而增长时,实现EBITDA盈亏平衡的可靠路径。
- 像Zoho和Lingotto这样的战略投资者带来了长期资本和品牌信誉,Lingotto的法拉利传统增强了性能故事。
- 从印度30个城市扩展到100个,并进入欧洲市场,使需求多样化,不再依赖单一国内细分市场。
可借鉴之处
从高端市场进入价格驱动的市场,让硬件初创企业能够先建立信誉和全球雄心,然后在品牌和利润率建立后再进入大众市场。
后续进展
截至2025年12月4日,Ultraviolette在从Zoho和Lingotto的持续E轮融资中获得4500万美元后正在扩张。资金支持增加生产班次、另一条生产线和2026年新设施,以及当年推出的Shockwave和Tesseract平台。管理层目标是在2026年底实现运营EBITDA盈亏平衡,并于2027年全面盈亏平衡,适合在18至24个月内启动IPO流程。销售网络覆盖印度30个城市,到2026年年中将达到100个,F77在英国推出,并已在12个欧洲国家开展业务。
