Ultraviolette X-47 Battery Flex BaaS: Ultraviolette Automotive has announced a new Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) programme aimed at lowering the upfront cost of its electric motorcycles. Called Battery Flex, the initiative separates the battery cost from the motorcycle’s purchase price, allowing buyers to pay for the battery through a monthly subscription.
The programme has been launched in partnership with Ecofy, a green-focused non-banking financial company (NBFC). According to the company, the new structure significantly reduces the initial purchase cost of the Ultraviolette X-47 and F77 models.

Entry Price Drops to Rs 1.49 Lakh
With the Battery Flex option, the Ultraviolette X-47 can now be purchased at a starting price of Rs 1.49 lakh, while the battery can be subscribed to for Rs 2,499 per month depending on the variant.
Ultraviolette says this model reduces the upfront purchase cost by around 40 percent, making its performance-focused electric motorcycles more accessible to a wider group of buyers.
The battery subscription plans include a five-year warranty on the battery pack.
How the Battery Flex Model Works
Under the Battery Flex scheme, customers purchase the motorcycle without the battery included in the vehicle price. Instead, the battery is financed separately through a monthly subscription.
During the financing period, riders pay a fixed monthly fee for battery usage. Once the subscription tenure ends, ownership of the battery is transferred to the customer without any additional payment, according to the company.
Ultraviolette says this model is designed to lower the initial financial barrier associated with electric motorcycles, where battery packs typically account for a significant portion of the vehicle’s price.
Company Statement
Narayan Subramaniam, CEO and co-founder of Ultraviolette Automotive, said the new structure is intended to make the brand’s motorcycles competitive with petrol-powered alternatives in a similar performance category.
He added that the subscription approach allows riders to access advanced electric powertrain technology while keeping monthly operating costs potentially lower than the fuel expenses of many conventional motorcycles.
The company believes the partnership with Ecofy will help accelerate electric mobility adoption by making EV financing more flexible.

What This Means for Buyers
The introduction of a battery subscription model could help reduce the upfront price gap between electric and petrol motorcycles. By shifting part of the cost to a monthly payment, Ultraviolette aims to make high-performance electric motorcycles more financially accessible.
For potential buyers, the model may provide flexibility in managing ownership costs while still allowing eventual battery ownership after the subscription period.
