Royal Enfield, the iconic Indian motorcycle brand, is all set to make a big splash this Independence Day. On August 15, 2025, they’re launching their first-ever Electric Bullet. This isn’t just any bike—it’s a modern twist on the classic Bullet that’s been roaring on Indian roads for decades. With a promised range of 250km on a single charge, it’s aimed at riders who want that vintage feel without the petrol hassle. Rumors have been buzzing for months, and now it’s official. Let’s dive into what this electric beast has to offer, from its looks to how it performs.
Design
The design of the Electric Bullet stays true to Royal Enfield’s roots. It features the same timeless silhouette that Bullet lovers adore—the round headlamp, teardrop fuel tank (now a battery housing), and spoked wheels. But there’s a subtle modern edge. The body panels are lighter, made from high-strength composites to keep the weight down for better efficiency.
Engine Performance
No more thumping engines here; the Electric Bullet swaps the old petrol motor for a silent electric powerhouse. Powered by a 10kW mid-mounted motor, it delivers instant torque of about 50Nm right from the start. That means quick acceleration—0 to 60kmph in under 5 seconds, which is peppy for a cruiser-style bike.
Mileage
Mileage, or rather range, is the star here. The Electric Bullet boasts a 250km range per charge, thanks to a 15kWh battery pack. That’s impressive for an entry-level electric motorcycle. In real-world conditions, expect 200-220km in mixed city and highway riding, depending on your style.
Features
Packed with modern goodies, the Electric Bullet doesn’t skimp on tech. It has a digital instrument cluster showing speed, range, battery level, and navigation prompts. Bluetooth connectivity lets you pair your phone for calls, music, and app-based diagnostics.
Safety features include dual-channel ABS, regenerative braking that adds extra range, and LED lights all around for better visibility. There’s even a USB port for charging gadgets on the go. Storage? The side panels hide compartments for tools or small items. For security, it comes with GPS tracking and a smart key system. Royal Enfield’s app allows remote monitoring, like checking charge status or locating the bike. It’s not overloaded with fancy stuff, keeping that simple Bullet ethos.
Price
Affordability is key for Royal Enfield fans, and the Electric Bullet won’t disappoint. Expected to start at ₹2.5 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s positioned as a premium yet accessible electric option. Variants might go up to ₹3 lakh with extras like custom paint or upgraded seats.
