Royal Enfield is working on the development of multiple new products. Some of these are the bigger versions of the smaller bikes already on sale, while there are also new products. As part of these plans, the expansion of ICE bikes comes naturally, and along with it, the automaker is also going to make its debut in the world of EVs. While the Flying Flea C6 is gaining attention, the Himalayan Electric, or HIM-e, is another prominent product. Although the bike is still undergoing tests, we have come across a report revealing more details of the EV.
Based on Zigwheels' report, the Royal Enfield Himalayan electric will come with a 14 kWh battery pack. Along with it, the brand is going to offer an onboard charger. To add perspective, the Ultraviolette F77 comes with a 10.3 kWh battery pack. The power from the battery is transferred to an electric motor sourced from Stark. It is to be noted that RE has a stake in the brand.

The power-producing unit has an output of 74.5 kW, which is 100 hp of power, as per the report. If this remains the case when the motorcycle lands on the production line, it will be the most powerful motorcycle with the Royal Enfield badge. This will make the motorcycle capable of breaching the 120 kmph mark. There is no information on the range of the motorcycle. However, expectations are that the bike will offer something around 200-250 km. The power produced by the motor can be tweaked depending on the rider's need via four modes: Zen, Off-Road, Tour, and Rally. More details on the machine are yet to come.
Appearance-wise, the Royal Enfield Himalayan electric will have similarities with the 450 cc ICE version of the bike. However, there will be changes because of the electric powertrain. The cycle parts will also likely be different compared to the ICE version. Furthermore, it is expected to come packed with more features.
