Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric test bed showcased at EICMA 2023
Royal Enfield has showcased the all new Himalayan 450, while the other was the Himalayan EV concept test bed at EICMA 2023.
Royal Enfield showcased two new motorcycles at the EICMA 2023. One of them was the all-new Himalayan 450, while the other was the Himalayan EV concept test bed. This is the first time we have had a look at the new Himalayan EV.
The Himalayan EV prototype will serve as a test bed for the company to try out its new electric powertrains and other components. According to the company, the Himalayan EV test bed has undergone extensive wind-tunnel testing in order to bring down its drag coefficient. The company has been working on its prototype for as long as 18 months. It’s battery pack and motor are off the shelf components.
Reports have suggested that the long-term test bed will not be adopted for a new Himalayan model. But, the upcoming EV’s from the company might have some similarities to it. The company has developed the battery of the Himalayan EV test bed and has been placed as a structural part of the bike frame.
