Royal Enfield, known for its iconic retro-styled motorcycles, is preparing to enter the electric vehicle segment with its first EV. This much-awaited electric bike will carry the brand’s signature design while offering a completely new riding experience with silent performance and zero emissions.
Design Inspired by Classics
The Royal Enfield EV is expected to follow the same timeless design language that we see in models like the Classic 350 and Bullet. However, it will come with futuristic touches like an all-digital console, LED lighting, and aerodynamic styling. Riders can expect the perfect blend of retro charm and modern technology.
Powerful Electric Motor
The upcoming Royal Enfield EV is rumored to be powered by a mid-mounted electric motor that could deliver around 25–40 bhp. This setup is expected to provide strong torque for quick acceleration while still being smooth and rider-friendly. With instant power delivery, the bike will suit both city commutes and highway rides.
Battery and Range
The EV is likely to feature a lithium-ion battery pack that can offer a riding range of 120–150 km on a single charge. Fast charging support is also expected, allowing the bike to charge from 0–80% in about an hour. This makes it a practical option for daily urban riding.
Features and Technology
Royal Enfield may include advanced features like ride modes, regenerative braking, Bluetooth-enabled navigation, and connected smart technology. A fully digital TFT display will provide details such as battery status, range left, riding modes, and trip information.
Price Expectations
The Royal Enfield EV is expected to be priced between ₹2.5 lakh and ₹3 lakh (ex-showroom, India). This positions it as a premium electric motorcycle, competing with other EV brands while maintaining the classic Royal Enfield feel.
Launch Timeline
Reports suggest that Royal Enfield could officially unveil its first EV by late 2025 or early 2026. The company has already set up an EV development team and is working on platforms dedicated to electric motorcycles.
Market Competition
The Royal Enfield EV will compete with bikes like Revolt RV400, Ultraviolette F77, and upcoming electric bikes from Bajaj and Hero. However, with Royal Enfield’s strong brand legacy and loyal fan base, its entry into the EV market is expected to be a game-changer.
Conclusion
The Royal Enfield EV 2025 promises to bring together retro design, modern features, and eco-friendly performance. With a solid riding range, premium build quality, and advanced technology, it is set to redefine the electric motorcycle space in India.
