Royal Enfield is set to revolutionize adventure touring with its upcoming Himalayan Electric, also known as the Him-E. Recent sightings on the rugged roads of Ladakh have given enthusiasts a first glimpse, signaling that the launch is drawing near.
Himalayan Electric Tested in Ladakh
In a special test ride event in Ladakh, the Himalayan Electric was pushed through extreme conditions. Top executives, including CEO B Govindarajan and Chief of Design Mark Wells, personally participated to evaluate the bike’s performance. Riders and onlookers praised its rugged design and off-road capabilities, which reflect Royal Enfield’s classic adventure touring DNA.
Insights from the Ladakh Ride
Testing in Ladakh allowed the team to assess battery efficiency, handling, and rider comfort on high-altitude trails. The Himalayan Electric keeps the familiar silhouette of the petrol model, with a tall windscreen, round headlamp, and single-piece seat, while integrating modern electric design features that suit long-distance touring.
Expected Launch and Price
The Himalayan Electric is expected to launch in India by December 2026. Early estimates suggest a price range of ₹7,00,000 to ₹8,00,000, making it a promising option for riders looking for an eco-friendly adventure bike. With production-ready models already spotted and successful testing in Ladakh, the Him-E is generating excitement across the motorcycle community (Mobility Outlook).
