Royal Enfield shows off an EV at the EICMA show
« on: November 08, 2023, 08:43:23 PM »

RE shows off another test bed version of their sometime-in-the-future electric motorcycle (that will likely be unaffordable to most of the Indian market):  https://www.notebookcheck.net/Electric-Royal-Enfield-Himalayan-makes-shocking-debut-at-EICMA-bearing-polished-Himalayan-452-styling.765979.0.html

It seems to have an old timey clutch and gearbox but that may not make it to production according to the video I watched about it.

Here is more news and a photo:

- Showcased at EICMA 2023
- Is a platform for future e-mobility
- Could be launched by 2025
Royal Enfield has officially taken the wraps off the Himalayan Electric Concept at the EICMA 2023 alongside the Himalayan 452.
While specs and details of the electric motorcycle haven’t been disclosed, the reveal showed the e-Himalayan concept being ridden somewhere in the mountains, off the road and even on it. But more importantly, it showcased the design, or rather what we can expect from the production model.
Unsurprisingly, the Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan concept borrows heavily from the new Himalayan 452 and comes with sleek styling. It gets a circular, full-LED headlamp with a large windscreen and an interesting-looking tank that flows directly into a single-piece seat. Underneath, it houses the tightly packed electric motor. The concept also comes fitted with chunky upside-down forks at the front and what looks like an adjustable rear shock.
Royal Enfield has also revealed that the real-world testing as well as wind tunnel testing for the Himalayan Electric has been in the process for a few years now but we can only expect the motorcycle to debut in production form by 2025.
