Ultraviolette launches riding academy open to electric and ICE motorcycle riders

Ultraviolette has launched a structured rider training academy in India, bringing its existing Track Attack and Into the Wild programmes under one platform. The academy will offer separate track and off-road training programmes, with three progressive certification levels for riders using either electric or ICE motorcycles.

  1. Track Attack focuses on circuit and performance riding
  2. Into the Wild offers structured off-road training
  3. Riders can participate on electric or ICE motorcycles

Ultraviolette academy offers three levels of certification

Training is open to all motorcycle riders

The academy builds on Ultraviolette’s existing Track Attack and Into the Wild programmes, originally developed around the F77 and X-47. While those programmes are associated with Ultraviolette motorcycles, the new academy is not limited to owners of Ultraviolette bikes.

The company says riders using either electric or internal-combustion-engine (ICE) motorcycles can participate. Ultraviolette is providing the training and certification; it is not introducing or supplying ICE motorcycles as part of the academy.

Both programmes will follow a three-level structure, with riders required to successfully complete an assessment before progressing to the next level. The courses will combine classroom instruction with practical sessions at controlled racetracks and off-road training locations.

Level 1 will cover fundamental riding techniques, motorcycle control and safety. Level 2 will introduce greater technical complexity, while Level 3 will focus on advanced techniques and higher-intensity riding specific to either track or off-road environments.

Track Attack is the track-focused programme and will cover racing lines, braking points, corner entry and exit, throttle control, body positioning, acceleration, track positioning and overtaking awareness. Riders will also be taught track etiquette, flag protocols, protective equipment, motorcycle checks and circuit awareness.

Into the Wild, meanwhile, focuses on motorcycle control across loose and uneven terrain. Its curriculum includes body positioning, balance, throttle and brake control, off-road cornering, terrain assessment, obstacle navigation, motorcycle recovery and responsible trail riding.

The two programmes remain separate, with Track Attack concentrating on circuit riding and Into the Wild on off-road riding, but both use the same Level 1-to-Level 3 training and certification framework.

First Into the Wild session on August 23

Ultraviolette plans to run the programmes throughout the year across a growing network of racetracks and off-road locations in India. The first Level 1 Into the Wild session is scheduled for Bengaluru on August 23, 2026, followed by a Track Attack session on September 27.

The company says the academy is intended to progressively develop motorcycle control, technical ability, safety awareness and riding judgement, rather than simply provide a one-off riding experience.

Ultraviolette claims this makes it the first electric two-wheeler manufacturer globally to launch a structured riding academy offering both track and off-road training and certification.
