    Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan Spied Getting Charged Enroute Ladakh

    RE Electric Himalayan Spied Getting ChargedOne of the world’s leading classic motorcycle manufacturers, Royal Enfield, is going out on its limb to enter the lucrative electric 2W segment. While the Flying Flea brand is gaining traction, all eyes seem to be on Electric Himalayan project.
    Test mules of Electric Himalayan have been spied multiple times. Royal Enfield has officially teased Electric Himalayan test beds off-roading in Leh Ladakh region. Recent spy shots show Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan test mules getting charged via charging stations and mobile chargers on wheels running on ICE generators. Let’s take a closer look.

    Royal Enfield Himalayan is one of the company’s most celebrated models. It aims to be a hardcore off-roader and then a versatile tourer. The company has flexed its engineering prowess with Himalayan as it was their first ever ADV. Now, the company is porting over its expertise into electric 2W segment and Himalayan is a candidate.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    Electric Himalayan has been recently spied testing enroute Ladakh for testing. Being an electric motorcycle, it needs recharging especially while range usually drops while tackling inclines in mountain terrains. These test mules seen in recent spy shots were connected to fixed charging stations and then mobile chargers.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    These mobile chargers are likely to be working on diesel generators. In this case, the generator was housed inside a Force Traveller van. Royal Enfield seems to be operating a large number of test mules and that is why existing chargers were not enough to charge them all at once, necessitating the need for mobile chargers.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    However, this reflects the fact that India’s electric charging infrastructure is still in its nascent stage and is yet to evolve further. If a group of 10 friends took a ride like this, all on electric 2W or cars, there are just not enough charging stations to accommodate them all at once.
    RE Electric Himalayan Twin Battery Setup
    What to expect from Electric Himalayan?
    As seen in the video by er.janakbhardwaj on Instagram, Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan comes equipped with two separate battery packs. These could be removable allowing users to carry these battery packs to their apartments to charge. Also, this design might help users to carry battery packs to nearest domestic plug when fully depleted rather than pushing the entire motorcycle. Think jerrycans, but for electric 2W vehicles.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    Overall ethos of Himalayan ICE motorcycle have been carried over. In this sense, Electric Himalayan is still an off-roader as it gets large wire-spoke wheels with off-road tyres, high ground clearance and suspension travel, a tall windscreen for wind protection and more. It has to be noted that the units spied are still test beds and they get a lot of premium components.
    RE Electric Himalayan
    Most of these might not make it to final production model when launched. The company has not revealed a launch timeline, but Electric Himalayan is going to be a global product. Where performance is concerned, Electric Himalayan packs a mid-mounted motor from Spanish EV brand Stark Future SL, which could pack enough oomph to match Himalayan 450’s performance.

    Royal Enfield Electric FF C6 Spied In Chennai City

    Royal Enfield Electric FF C6Unveiled at last year’s EICMA, the FF C6 electric cruiser bike is planned for launch in the first quarter of CY2026
    Royal Enfield is stepping up its focus on the EV segment, and three bikes have already been spotted on road tests. It includes the FF C6 cruiser, FF S6 scrambler and HIM-E electric concept. Latest spy shots from automotive enthusiast Jeshwanth, show the FF C6 on road trials in Chennai. Let’s check out the details.
    Royal Enfield Flying Flea (FF C6) – Key highlights
    It is likely that FF C6 will be Royal Enfield’s first electric motorcycle to go on sale. Test mules have been spotted multiple times with heavy camouflage. Design aesthetics are a close match with the World War II era Flying Flea petrol-powered motorcycle that was in production from 1942 to 1945.
    Royal Enfield Electric FF C6
    Some of the key features of Royal Enfield FF C6 electric cruiser include a circular headlamp, Girder forks, circular rear-view mirrors and a distinctive chassis design. The electric bike has minimal body panelling, quite similar to the original Flying Flea. The concept model unveiled at last year’s EICMA had some fine detailing on the battery compartment. The wavy fin-like structures enhance the bike’s visuals and also work to improve cooling.
    Royal Enfield FF C6 has large alloy wheels, likely 19-inch at both ends. Fenders have old-school vibes and are fitted with struts for additional support. The bike has a comfortable, upright riding stance. The pillion seat could be removable to suit specific user preferences.

    Performance, range
    Specs of Royal Enfield FF C6 have not been revealed, but one can expect performance similar to a 250cc to 350cc petrol-powered motorcycle. While the bike has largely a skinny profile, the battery compartment seems to have plenty of space. The bike could have a range of anywhere between 100 to 150 km.
    FF C6 has a mid-mounted motor, connected to a belt-drive system. This setup is expected to improve balance and handling and ensure smoother, quieter rides. While not official, the battery pack could be of around 4-5 kWh capacity. FF C6 could get a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, which is known for its safety and longevity.
    To reduce weight and improve cooling, the battery compartment is built using magnesium metal. Some advanced technologies have been used such as active thermal control and cell-level thermal monitoring. The battery pack of FF C6 will be IP-67 rated.
    As seen in the spy shots, the belt drive setup is mounted on the right side. The bike has disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS is expected as standard. Tech kit will include a circular instrument console with a range of Bluetooth-based connectivity features. An earlier teaser had revealed a keyless system, with the start button mounted on the faux fuel tank. Turn-by-turn navigation will also be available, along with access to calls, text and music. More
