The Royal Enfield is venturing into the electric motorcycle segment with its first-ever EV motorcycle and is slated to be launched in late 2025. A name synonymous with old-school styling and thumping engines, the dust of the motorsport has settled on clean mobility with a modern touch. The electric Royal Enfield bike shall create magic with Royal Enfield styling, silky smooth performance, and zero emissions.
Electric Motor and Performance
What might become known as the new-age electric bicycle shall supposedly sport a midsize motor rated at 12 to 15 kW peak power or about 16 to 20 bhp. The batteries shall possess a fixed lithium-ion configuration, with a range of 120 to 150 km on a single charge. Fast-charging capability shall also be provided, with the fast charge taking under an hour to charge the battery up to 80%. The way acceleration shall work is that it will be linear and silent, complementing city rides and some short weekend getaway rides perfectly.
Comfortable Ride and Classic Handling
The relaxed riding position and sturdy handling are trademarks of Royal Enfield, and the electric-powered bike is expected to continue that tradition. The frame is expected to be light yet strong; suspension will comprise telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers for a comfy ride. The seat will be wide and nicely cushioned, allowing for long hours of riding comfort. Low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution will provide confidence in handling while negotiating dense traffic or cruising along empty lanes.
Modern Features and Safety
The electric motorcycle will be equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster that will display the speed, battery level, range, and navigation, which may also be adapted to accept Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone pairing and ride data tracking. All lighting will be LED-including the headlamps, tail lamps, and turn indicators. Standard Disc Brakes front and rear with dual-channel ABS support will increase the safety of the motorcycle; the side-stand cut-off and regenerative braking are likely candidates.
Pricing and Launch Timeline
Not seraphically announced by Royal Enfield till September 2025, but on-ground experts are calculating the price to be between ₹2.50 lakh and ₹3 lakhs (ex-showroom). The launch will probably take place in December of the same year, and bookings should be heralded by a few weeks.
With its electrification, Royal Enfield is on its way to providing a classy and sustainable alternative to those who want their classic charm and modern technology. The new motorcycle is poised to reshape the electric motorcycle experience in India.
