Royal Enfield is all set to unveil its maiden electric motorcycle at EICMA 2024 on November 4.

The video clearly shows the upcoming offering’s silhouette, which appears to be identical to the motorcycle shown in patent images from Royal Enfield earlier this year.

The electric motorcycle will retain many of the old-school elements of the rest of RE's lineup

 

Visually, the electric motorcycle’s silhouette looks to be in line with a neo-retro roadster, with the old-school design elements being retained. The styling cues on the motorcycle include a round headlamp, alloy wheels, round mirrors, and a single seat. The front forks have an interesting design, which seems to be a modern take on the classic girder fork design of motorcycles from a century ago. Another feature of the motorcycle will likely be the round TFT display, which is currently seen on motorcycles such as the Himalayan and Guerrilla 450

The specifications of the electric motorcycle remain under wraps, although patent images show what looks like a chain or belt drive which transfers power to the rear wheel. Similar to the rest of Royal Enfield’s lineup, the braking setup will include disc brakes on both ends.

Royal Enfield showcased the ‘Him-E’, essentially an electric Himalayan at EICMA 2023. The Him-E was described as an electric motorcycle test bed which RE uses to hone its upcoming EVs.  In 2022, Royal Enfield also acquired a stake of more than 10 per cent in Spanish electric motocross bike company Stark Future, pointing towards a long-term collaboration between the two brands.

 

The upcoming Interceptor Bear 650 was recently leaked ahead of its debut at EICMA 2024. The Interceptor Bear will be a Scrambler, powered by the brand's fabled 648 cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin mill.
