Royal Enfield to Launch Its First Electric Motorcycle on November 4

Royal Enfield will launch its first electric motorcycle on November 4 at the 2024 EICMA, thereby making its entry into the electric vehicle space. Hints from earlier patent sketches suggest the bike could feature a neo-retro design, combining classic elements with modern touches.

Royal Enfield’s first electric bike is expected to feature advanced tech, including a full-color TFT display, multiple riding modes, and traction control, similar to the Himalayan 450. Industry speculation suggests the company might introduce the EV as a limited edition, allowing it to gather detailed feedback before a wider launch.

With premium components and the high cost of batteries, the new electric bike is likely to be the most expensive offering from Royal Enfield, with an estimated price of around Rs 4 lakh (ex-showroom). In the growing Indian electric two-wheeler market, the bike will face tough competition from brands like Revolt, Tork Motors, and Ultraviolette, which have already made strides with their high-performance models.
