Royal Enfield will unveil its first-ever EV at the EICMA trade show
Arguably the most anticipated debut at EICMA 2024 will be the very first all-electric Royal Enfield motorcycle. The motorcycle is expected to be a modern reinterpretation of the Royal Enfield Flying Flea from the 1940s which was used by soldiers during World War 2. Teasers, followed by leaked images have already given us an insight into what the motorcycle will look like.
The leaked patent image of the motorcycle
According to the leaked patent and spy images, the electric motorcycle will sport a rather lean design, while featuring a few of the design elements commonly associated with Royal Enfield motorcycles. Styling cues on the motorcycle include a round headlamp, alloy wheels, round mirrors, and a single seat. The front forks also have an interesting design, which appears to be a modern take on the classic girder fork design of motorcycles from a century ago. Another feature of the motorcycle will likely be the round TFT display, which is currently seen on motorcycles such as the Himalayan and Guerrilla 450.
