Over the past 3 years, we have been on an extensive journey of researching, innovating and developing various prototypes of motorcycles, modular batteries and chargers. The F77 has undergone several thousand kilometres of testing and we are confident that the F77 will be an evocative and compelling alternative to IC Engine motorcycles. – Narayan Subramaniam, Co-Founder and CEO, UAPL
What excites me about the F77 is the fact that it busts every single negative notion and perception associated with electric vehicles. It has has been designed keeping the aspirations of Indian consumers in mind while being tested for the toughest and most extreme terrain and climatic conditions in the country. The F77 is an urban sports/ commuter bike that allows both seasoned riders as well as enthusiasts to do more with just one motorcycle. – Niraj Rajmohan, Co-Founder and CTO, UAPL
