Royal Enfield is all set to make waves in the electric motorcycle world with the launch of its much-awaited Electric Bullet on September 22, 2025. This bike, blending the brand’s iconic retro style with modern electric tech, promises a 249km range on a single charge. Here’s everything you need to know about its design, performance, handling, safety, price, and variants.
Premium Design
The Electric Bullet stays true to Royal Enfield’s classic look. It sports a round LED headlamp, a teardrop-shaped tank (now housing the battery), and spoked wheels, giving it that timeless Bullet charm. Lightweight composite materials keep the bike agile at around 130kg, perfect for city rides or weekend getaways. You’ll find chrome accents and color options like Matte Black, Vintage Red, and Olive Green, with a single-seat setup and optional pillion grab rails. The retro vibe mixed with sleek, modern touches makes it a head-turner.
Powerful Engine and Performance
Powered by a brushless DC motor, the Electric Bullet delivers instant torque, estimated at 40–50 Nm, for quick acceleration. It’s designed to mimic the classic Bullet’s riding feel but with a silent, smooth performance. The bike can hit a top speed of around 120 km/h, making it great for both urban commutes and highway cruising. With a 6-8 kWh battery, it offers a real-world range of 249km in Eco mode, though this may vary in Sport or City modes. Charging takes 4-5 hours at home or 45 minutes to 80% with a fast charger.
Ride and Handling
The Electric Bullet is built for easy handling, especially in city traffic. Its slim profile and low center of gravity make it nimble, while telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock ensure a comfortable ride on bumpy roads. The 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, wrapped in tubeless tires, add stability. Riders can switch between Eco, City, and Power modes to adjust performance, making it versatile for short trips or longer journeys. At 800mm, the seat height suits a wide range of riders.
Safety Features
Safety is a priority with the Electric Bullet. It comes with dual-channel ABS for confident braking, disc brakes on both wheels, and traction control to prevent slips. Regenerative braking extends the range by 10-15%, and a side-stand cut-off adds extra safety. The bike also features a full-color TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, showing speed, range, and navigation, plus a smart key system with GPS-based security.
Price and Variants
The Electric Bullet is expected to be priced around ₹3.2 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top variant, with lower trims starting at ₹2.8 lakh. It will likely launch in two variants: a base model and a premium one with custom paint and accessories. Flexible EMI options and government subsidies could make it more affordable.
Royal Enfield’s Electric Bullet blends nostalgia with eco-friendly tech, set to redefine urban mobility. Are you ready to ride this electric legend?
