Ultraviolette pushes free update to F77 electric motorcycle: What's new
Ultraviolette has updated its F77 electric motorcycle but there's a catch! The update comes not by changing any hardware, but purely through software. The Bengaluru-based startup has rolled out a performance update called the Gen3 Powertrain Firmware . Interestingly, it's completely free for all existing F77 owners. At the heart of this new update is a feature called Ballistic+, a new mode that injects more urgency into the throttle response, making the F77 feel quicker and more alive the moment you twist the throttle. While the bike's peak output figures remain unchanged at 40 hp and 100 Nm of torque, the riding experience is said to be sharper and more engaging. What makes this upgrade special is its intelligence. Ultraviolette has tapped into Violette A.I., its connected software system that learns from rider behaviour. This system has analysed data from over 8 million km of global on-road usage. It looks at how riders accelerate, how they brake, what kind of roads they ride on, and how they interact with the bike. All this information feeds into the bike's central brain, allowing it to continuously fine-tune performance through the new Ballistic+ mode. Kia Carens Clavis first drive review: Game-Changer for electric MPVs? | TOI Auto The Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) of the F77 plays a crucial role in this transformation. It processes more than 3,000 data points in real time, adjusting the motor controller, drivetrain, and battery management system on the go. The result is a more dynamic and responsive motorcycle: all without touching the hardware. Battery capacities also remain unchanged at 7.1 kWh for the Mach 2 and 10.3 kWh for the Mach 2 Recon, with no revisions to range figures. What's even better is that this Gen3 firmware is fully backwards-compatible. So whether you're an early adopter or a recent buyer, you'll be able to download and install this upgrade free of cost.

Washroom Heist: Luxury Fittings Worth Rs 35 lakh Stolen From 5-Star Hotel In Kolkata
Last Updated: Luxury bathroom fittings worth Rs 35 lakh vanished from Kolkata's Oberoi Grand hotel during renovation. An FIR was filed, and an internal probe is underway. A renovation project at Kolkata's iconic Oberoi Grand hotel turned into a crime scene, with luxury bathroom fittings worth Rs 35 lakh vanishing without a trace. The theft came to light when the hotel's shift engineer noticed something odd — a staggering 228 showerheads and eight designer ceiling fans had mysteriously disappeared. These high-end fixtures, temporarily dismantled and stored in a pantry during ongoing repair work, were nowhere to be found, Times of India reported. An FIR has been filed in the incident, and police said the items may have been whisked away along with construction debris during the renovation process. As many as 20 personnel from a private firm were given the task of securing the premises. Lack of CCTVs and absence of adequate lighting might be reasons why thieves were able to pull off the heist without getting caught. An internal probe was ordered by the hotel, which is also reviewing all recent construction activities and worker movements. The Oberoi Grand in Kolkata began a major restoration and upgrade project in August 2024, announcing an 18-month closure to carry out extensive conservation work. Once the first phase is complete, the hotel is set to reopen with 50 redesigned rooms and suites, fully operational restaurants, banquet halls, and improved service areas, along with a modernised mechanical, electrical, and plumbing setup. A second phase, expected to last an additional 12 months, will bring the total to 200 renovated rooms and suites. The banqueting facilities, however, will continue to remain in service during the renovation. First leased in 1938, this historic Kolkata property has long been admired for its grand colonial architecture. Notably, in August 2018, the hotel had also closed for 18 months — its first major renovation in 25 years — during which 50 rooms were added to its inventory. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
