The Ultraviolette F77 comes with three rides modes – Glide, Combat, and Ballistic, each with varying power and range settings. Out of these, the Combat mode was used predominantly for most of the ride. Delivering brilliantly well on the efficiency front as well, Baala’s F77 saved an astounding 270 litres of petrol compared to what an ICE bike would have consumed throughout the journey. This translates to a staggering cost saving of over ₹ 27,000 while saving 645 kg of CO2 emission.
