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.
The bike, an electric version of the much-loved Himalayan, stole the limelight from its petrol-powered sibling, the Himalayan 450, which had just been launched in India.
The initial testbed bike was a rough and ready prototype, with a Heath Robinson-esque design featuring commercial-grade electronic systems and a battery motor system.
Its 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 an imminent arrival into the electric adventure segment.
