Royal Enfield electric Himalayan owing to its ADV nature

To continue being at the top of its game, Royal Enfield has planned multiple launches over the next few years. Royal Enfield has stood true to its ‘four motorcycles a year strategy. We got Scram 411, a new Classic 350, a new Hunter 350, and the recently unveiled Super Meteor 650. Royal Enfield’s quota for new launches in 2022 seems to have come to an end.

Now there is another prototype is about to be on the ground, an electric ADV from a mainstream motorcycle manufacturer, the electric Himalayan.

At the launch of Hunter 350, Eicher Motors CEO Siddhartha Lal mentioned that the very first Royal Enfield electric vehicle will be revealed in a three to four years timeline. Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan radiates is still neo-retro in its appeal but gets a futuristic design language. A tall visor adorns its front fascia and gives it an ADV feel. It is evident that Royal Enfield is cleverly incorporating its frame as its body panels, exposed for display.

At the back, we can see a sharp subframe and a clean profile. Wire spoke rims are retained and are likely to be 21” at the front and 17” or 18” at the rear. Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric gets a mid-mounted motor sending power to rear wheels via chain drive. Mono-shock rear suspension and stylish aluminum swingarm are part of its package as well. It will be termed as the Prototype will have a larger battery and that in turn means higher pricing.

With a top-down approach, we can expect that electric powertrains will trickle down on lower-end products as well. A launch timeline is not revealed by the company. It can be duly expected that according to Sidhartha Lal’s hints, we can expect eclectic Royal Enfields to hit Indian roads in 2026 or beyond. Also, with a decent off-road kit or touring kit, it is not a stretch to say that Royal Enfield will price it at a premium.
