Ultraviolette launch AI voice control feature
Indian motorcycle maker Ultraviolette has revealed a new AI-powered voice assistant feature at the 2026 CES show, in Las Vegas.
Ultraviolette is attempting to break new ground in the motorcycle technology space, having unveiled an AI-powered voice assistant feature that allows riders to change riding modes hands-free.
The Indian electric motorcycle maker, which now distributes models in the UK, including the F77 Mach 2 and F77 SuperStreet, revealed the system at the 2026 CES show in Las Vegas. The event is a launchpad for companies from all over the world to showcase new technology and innovations.
Ultraviolette’s new AI-driven technology is called ‘Violette’, and it has been developed in partnership with artificial intelligence specialists, SoundHound AI.
During the showcase at CES, visitors were able to initiate navigation and gain access to real-time information. This includes recommended tyre pressures, service instructions, and more.
The system operates in a similar way to smartphone-connected devices like Alexa and Google Assistant, where information can be found, or requests can be made, just by using your voice.
The function has been fully integrated into the brand’s F77 electric motorcycle, where things like pre-ride checks, riding data, and proactive alerts can also be viewed without needing to touch the bike.
The new Violette AI voice assistant system will be enabled through an audio-integrated helmet, acting as the interface between the rider and motorcycle.
Narayan Subramaniam, CEO & Co-founder, Ultraviolette, said this about the new system:
"At Ultraviolette, we believe AI is going to play a pivotal role in enhancing rider safety. As a technology-first company in the mobility space, our mission has always been to redefine the riding experience by fusing cutting-edge engineering with intelligent systems.
“The integration of Violette A.I. with Soundhound AI marks a significant step in advancing human-machine interaction. By enabling seamless voice-led control we are creating a riding experience that is intuitive, immersive, and future-ready, allowing riders to stay fully focused on what matters most- the road ahead.”
