Exclusive Insights into Royal Enfield's Electric Himalayan Testbed

Royal Enfield's electric Himalayan Testbed has been making headlines since its first reveal at EICMA 2023.

A prototype of the electric version of the Royal Enfield Himalayan was showcased, garnering attention away from its petrol-powered counterpart, the Himalayan 450, which had recently launched in India.

The initial testbed bike was a rough and ready prototype, with a makeshift design featuring commercial-grade electronic systems and a battery motor system.

Its Heath Robinson-esque design included commercial-grade electronic systems that were grafted to a battery motor system that wouldn’t look out of place in the movie Short Circuit.

Earlier this year, Royal Enfield shared images that fueled speculation about the imminent arrival of the electric Himalayan into the adventure segment.
