The electric motorcycle gets its power from a battery with a maximum capacity of 4.2kWh. It uses three slim lithium-ion battery packs and the whole unit takes 5 hours to charge fully via the standard charger. However, through the fast charger, it can be done only in 1.5 hours. Once fully charged, the bike has a company-claimed range of 130-150km. Ultraviolette Automotive has revealed that the F77 doesn’t require all three battery packs to run but, it performs best with all of them in use.
