As per the report, Royal Enfield’s latest electric bike concept is likely to be an ADV. It could be based on a new platform developed in collaboration with Stark Future.

Royal Enfield announced an investment into the Spain-based electric motorcycle brand last year, with an aim to co-develop new products and technologies. As part of the deal, Eicher Motors acquired a 10.35% stake in the company at a cost of Rs 439 crore.

It is believed that the new electric ADV concept could share its underpinnings with the Stark VARG, which is a dirt bike. It is available with either a 59 BHP or a 79 BHP electric motor and is powered by a 6.5 kWh battery.

Showcased at EICMA 2023, this still is very much a prototype, or a laboratory as Royal Enfield calls it but it has full intent to have an all-electric Himalayan as part of its lineup in the future.

There's no specs yet, but RE says it has used Organic Flax Fibre for the body work, done extensive wind tunnel testing and even developed its in-house battery pack that's a structural element.
