Dasari went on to say that it’s no longer a question of ‘if’ there will be an electric Enfield making it to market – it’s all about ‘when’. And considering he also revealed there are various prototypes already built, maybe we won’t have to wait too much longer to see a production machine in the flesh.
At this stage, there’s no specific timeline and no technical information – but one thing we can fairly sure of is that’s whatever the Indian factory produce; it’s going to look another Royal Enfield. Chances are they’ll make use of an existing chassis – and ‘simply’ integrate an electric motor and battery pack.
Our bets are on a 2022 release date, but expect more information to become available over the coming months.
