First, What’s the Big Deal About the F77 SuperStreet?
Before we hit the road, let's get to know the machine.
The Ultraviolette F77 SuperStreet is not just another electric motorcycle. It’s a serious performance bike that can clock a top speed of 155 kmph, and go from 0 to 60 kmph in just 2.8 seconds. That's enough to make your heart race faster than your engine. It comes with a 10.3 kWh battery, giving you a range of up to 323 km. And yes, it looks as futuristic as it sounds.
But good looks and crazy numbers aren’t enough. If you're going to own one motorcycle to ride through Indian weather chaos, it better be tough. Let's see if the F77 is.
Riding in the Cold: Can the F77 Handle North India’s Winter Mornings?
Cold Starts and Chilled Rides
Waking up to single-digit temperatures in Shimla, Manali, or even Gurgaon isn't rare during peak winter. For petrol bikes, this means rough starts and annoying engine warm-ups. But with the F77? You press the power button, and it’s ready.
Electric motors don’t need warming up. That’s a blessing when you’re rushing out and the cold wind is cutting through your jacket.
Battery in the Cold
Cold affects batteries, we know that. The F77’s battery system is built with a 5-level protection protocol that includes thermal safety. It monitors temperature in real time. So even if it's freezing, the bike adjusts itself to protect the battery. You might see a slight drop in range, yes, but unless you're riding from Srinagar to Leh without charging, you’re fine.
Verdict:
Cold mornings? No kick-start needed. Cold batteries? Already protected. Cold riders? That’s on you, bro. Wear thermals.
Cruising in the Heat: 40 Degrees, No Shade, Just Asphalt
Heat in the City: No Engine Overheat Drama
If you’ve ever sat on a petrol bike stuck in summer traffic, you know the roasting feeling. Heat rising from the engine, legs slowly burning, and that terrifying moment when the radiator fan kicks in with a wheeze.
With the F77, none of that happens. The electric motor doesn’t heat up like traditional engines. Even when you're in stop-and-go traffic in Chennai or Nagpur during peak summer, the ride stays surprisingly cool.
The battery and motor are actively monitored by the onboard Violette AI system, which adjusts performance based on surrounding heat. No overheating, no lag, no stress.
Highway Heat Test
High-speed riding in summer means one thing: hot tyres, hot roads, and potential performance drop. But with Dynamic Stability Control and traction control modes, the F77 stays stable even when the asphalt is melting under your wheels.
And that range? The battery management system keeps it efficient even under load. You won’t see a major dip unless you’re constantly riding in Ballistic Mode under 45°C. Even then, it’s built to manage.
Verdict:
No engine heat, no fan noise, no boiling petrol.
The F77 was born for summer. Just carry water for yourself.
Monsoon Madness: Rain, Slush, and Urban Floods
Waterproofing That Works
Riding in the rain is a whole different game. Water + electric bike? Sounds scary, right?
But the F77 has been IP67 certified, which means its core parts, motor and battery, are water-resistant. You can ride through puddles, rain, and even a bit of flooding (not waist-deep, though) without worry. We’re talking full-on Andheri monsoon madness approved.
Grip and Handling
Monsoon roads are slippery. The F77 offers Rain Mode, which softens acceleration and adjusts traction control to avoid sudden slips. Pair that with dual-channel ABS and fat tyres (110/70 front and 150/60 rear), and you’ve got grip that sticks like haldi on your shirt.
Digital Display in Rain?
That 5-inch TFT display? Clear and responsive, even with wet gloves. Plus, the mobile app gives you alerts on battery status and even tells you when it’s time to slow down.
Verdict:
Most electric bikes fear the monsoon. The F77 dances in it.
Ride safe, avoid deep water, and this bike will carry you home like a champ.
Real-World Scenarios: Where the F77 Shines in India
• Mumbai to Lonavala in Rain: Smooth control, perfect brakes, no water damage.
• Delhi NCR Winter Commute: Instant starts, no engine shivers.
• Hyderabad Summer Traffic: Silent, powerful, no engine heat slap in the face.
Wherever you ride, the F77 adapts. The three riding modes (Glide, Combat, Ballistic) and 10 levels of regenerative braking give you full control based on your mood, terrain, and weather.
What About Charging in Bad Weather?
Rain or shine, the charging port is sealed and safe. Just don’t charge in the open during a thunderstorm. Basic safety, bro.
Using the Boost Charger, you can go from 20% to 80% in just 2.5 hours. Charge it while you work, gym, or Netflix. And with up to 323 km range, you won’t need to plug in every day anyway.
What Makes the F77 Future-Proof for Indian Roads?
• 8-year or 8,00,000 km Battery Warranty
• Violette AI which constantly learns your riding habits
• Hill Hold Assist for hilly citiesA
• Linux-based OS for future OTA updates
This is not a bike that will feel outdated in two years. It’s ready for the long ride.
