Check out Royal Enfield’s new Electric Himalayan Concept
The concept bike lays the groundwork for the brand’s future electric models.

At EICMA 2023, Royal Enfield revealed the much-anticipated Himalayan 452, marking a significant shift in their adventure bike lineup. On top of that, it unveiled an interesting electric concept, too. Yes, Royal Enfield had hinted at their venture into electric bikes, but the revelation of an off-road-focused Electric Himalayan Test Bed was genuinely surprising.
Contrary to expectations, this prototype demonstrated a departure from Royal Enfield's typical aesthetic. Boasting a performance-oriented design, it features a robust inverted front fork, an Ohlins gas-charged rear shock, and a stripped-down appearance without many of the standard Himalayan's body panels, giving it a distinct prototype vibe.

While specific performance details remain veiled in secrecy, a notable highlight is the unconventional "fuel tank" that serves as a housing for the charging port, prioritizing convenient access. Reflecting a dual-sport ethos, the bike adopts a 21-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel combination, fitted with knobby dual-purpose rubber for versatile on and off-road capabilities. This innovative design choice not only enhances functionality but also contributes to the overall distinctive character of the motorcycle.
The Electric Himalayan Test Bed serves as a tantalizing glimpse into Royal Enfield's electric future. Notably, the company's foray into off-road electric bikes challenges expectations. While an official launch for the Electric Himalayan concept seems distant, possibly a couple of years away, speculation is rife about other platforms in the pipeline, with the Classic electric model eagerly awaited by enthusiasts.
Royal Enfield's venture into electric motorcycles marks a compelling evolution, injecting a fascinating chapter into the brand's narrative. It underscores the company's openness to explore diverse avenues within the electric two-wheeler landscape. This strategic move not only challenges preconceived notions but also demonstrates Royal Enfield's adaptability and commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation in the rapidly evolving realm of electric mobility.
