RE going electric

[sam2019]

Royal Enfield is not only successful in the conventional motorcycle market in India, but also in Europe. In the future, the Indian manufacturer with English roots also wants to have a say in the electric motorcycle market. The brand unveiled its first electric motorcycle concept, the Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan Testbed, also known as the Him-E, at EICMA 2023.

At the beginning of August 2023, Siddhartha Lal, top manager at Eicher, the parent company of Royal Enfield, announced that the first electric Royal Enfield is expected to be launched in around two years. "We don't want to bring anything half-baked onto the market. And it's not about confronting the competition directly. We are working on a completely different paradigm for electric vehicles. It takes time to put together something really fantastic," he said. Our Indian colleagues reckon the electric Himalayan might not arrive until 2026 - and a smaller electric Bullet before that.
