- First Royal Enfield EV launch by FY 2027
- Two EV platforms under development
- The Himalayan EV concept was showcased last year
Royal Enfield is in no hurry to launch an electric motorcycle. The company’s first electric bike is likely to make its debut in FY 2027.
As of now, the company is fully focused on expanding its 450cc line-up along with adding another 350cc motorcycle. Within the next two to three years, Royal Enfield will have a complete line-up of 450cc bikes. Plus, there will be at least two new 650cc motorcycles launched for the Indian market as well as for the international market.
It is not a secret that Royal Enfield has invested heavily in the electric vehicle business in India as well as in the UK. In fact, during a visit to their Technical Centre in Chennai, it was noted that there are separate validation and testing infrastructure built for EV bikes.
According to our sources, Royal Enfield is working on at least two electric motorcycle platforms. These platforms will help the brand develop at least four to five electric motorcycles. However, the development of these platforms is still in the early stages, and it will take a few years for a production model. Interestingly, the Himalayan electric bike was showcased last year but that was an early prototype. The top honchos of the company truly believe that the battery technologies will get better and cheaper in the coming years and as a result of that, they will be able to price their motorcycles for maximum returns.
