Quick Highlights:Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan test mule spotted near 2025 Motoverse event venueShares bodywork and stance with ICE Himalayan but features EV-specific componentsExpected 100 hp motor and 14 kWh battery with 200 to 250 km rangePremium off-road hardware including USD forks and SM Pro Platinum wheelsRoyal Enfield used the 2025 Motoverse event in Goa to introduce several new products, while also drawing intense attention with the appearance of the upcoming Electric Himalayan testbed near the venue. Although not officially unveiled at the event, the prototype has revealed enough visual and hardware details to confirm that Royal Enfield is preparing to position the electric Himalayan as a capable and rugged adventure motorcycle, very much in line with the philosophy of the current ICE Himalayan. Based on the hardware spotted, the electric version appears to retain the core strengths that have made the Himalayan a highly capable off-roader.From first impressions, the electric Himalayan continues with a silhouette and riding posture similar to the ICE version. The transparent windscreen, round headlamp housing, familiar mirrors and a single continuous seat appear to be shared elements. This continuity is important for the Himalayan brand, known for its simplicity and functionality over excess styling. The front rack design, although modified to suit packaging needs, also reinforces the ADV character. Royal Enfield has ensured that the core identity of the Himalayan remains intact while building an EV platform underneath.The EV test mule points to all-LED lighting including a redesigned headlamp with integrated DRLs. Much like the redesigned Himalayan 450, the seating flows elegantly into the faux tank for an uninterrupted design language. The golden finish on the USD forks and wheels gives a premium, performance-oriented visual upgrade compared to the ICE bike. Riders familiar with the Himalayan riding triangle will notice that the centrally placed foot pegs and wide handlebars have been retained to support comfort and long-distance touring capability.One of the distinctive design highlights is the battery enclosure. Royal Enfield’s unique fin-type magnesium enclosure brings both aesthetic and engineering advantages. The fluid surfaces create airflow channels to assist with passive cooling, while magnesium as a material contributes to keeping the EV lighter, more durable and thermally efficient. This enclosure is rapidly becoming a signature design marker across Royal Enfield’s electric lineup, emphasizing engineering credibility.Other premium hardware seen on the prototype includes wheels manufactured by SM Pro Platinum, a UK-based company that produces rims for major global motorcycle brands including Yamaha, KTM, Honda, Triumph and Husqvarna. The wire-spoke wheels equipped on the electric Himalayan mule appear to be standard tubes, but industry sources suggest a cross-spoke tubeless option could be offered as an accessory. Tires used on the prototype are Bridgestone Battlax AdventureCross AX41, a tire known for strong off-road traction, durability and improved compound rigidity, making it suitable for challenging terrain.At the rear, the bike is equipped with a monoshock suspension setup, while braking duties are handled by a petal front disc and a conventional rear disc. The EV chassis’ front suspension and wheel finish suggest Royal Enfield intends to reinforce the premium positioning of this model within its portfolio.The performance expectations elevate this prototype into a more ambitious product category. The electric Himalayan is expected to source its mid-mounted motor from European performance EV specialists Stark Future. Power output could reach 74.5 kW, or roughly 100 hp, which places it well above conventional mid-segment electric motorcycles currently available. The reported 14 kWh battery pack could provide anywhere between 200 km and 250 km on a single charge under certification standards. If translated into real-world conditions with multiple riding modes and regeneration options, this could position the electric Himalayan as one of the longest-range adventure-focused electric motorcycles globally.Available riding modes are expected to include Eco, Tour, Off-Road and Rally, along with several electronic rider-assist functions tailored for terrain versatility. These features are essential in a segment where power management becomes critical both on rough surfaces and during long hauls.With the hardware emerging in what appears to be near-production form, Royal Enfield is clearly preparing the Himalayan EV for global markets. The spotted prototype suggests the company intends to deliver an electric motorcycle that maintains the ruggedness, comfort and adaptability the ICE Himalayan is known for, while enhancing performance through high-end EV engineering. Early signs indicate the electric Himalayan could become a significant milestone in the rapid transition of adventure motorcycles toward electric drive.
