Hey folks, if you’re a bike lover like me, you’ve probably dreamed of cruising on a Royal Enfield Bullet without the roar of a petrol engine. Well, hold onto your helmets because Royal Enfield is shaking things up. On November 28, 2025, they’re dropping their first electric version of the iconic Bullet. It’s not just any EV—it’s got that timeless Bullet vibe with a whopping 279km range on a single charge. This launch comes right after their big unveil at EICMA earlier this year, and it’s set to hit showrooms soon after.
Design
The Electric Bullet isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel—or should I say, the spoke? It keeps the classic Bullet silhouette that makes your heart skip a beat: that upright riding position, the round headlamp glowing like a full moon, and the teardrop fuel tank (now hiding a battery, of course). But here’s the twist—it’s sleeker for city streets. Spy shots show a slimmer profile with narrow tires that cut through traffic like a hot knife through butter. No more bulky exhaust pipes; instead, there’s a clean rear end with LED taillights that wink at you. Available in matte black, vintage chrome, and maybe a pop of electric blue, it weighs around 180kg—lighter than the petrol Bullet, so it feels nimble. Royal Enfield nailed the balance: old-school charm meets modern edge. If you squint, it’s like the Bullet your dad rode, but whispering quietly into the future.
Features
What good is a bike if it doesn’t surprise you? The Electric Bullet is loaded with goodies that make rides fun and hassle-free. At its heart is a 15kWh battery paired with a hub-mounted electric motor dishing out smooth torque—think instant acceleration without gear shifts. Top speed? Around 100kmph, perfect for highways or zipping past autos in Mumbai traffic. You’ll get a digital-analog cluster showing range, speed, and even navigation via Bluetooth to your phone. Safety-wise, there’s ABS on both wheels, traction control for wet roads, and a reverse gear for tight parking spots. Oh, and don’t forget the USB ports for charging your gadgets mid-ride. It’s got that Royal Enfield thump in spirit, but silent—like a ninja on two wheels. Eco-mode optimizes power for longer trips, while sport mode unleashes the fun. Overall, it’s thoughtful tech without overwhelming the rider.
Price
Money talks, right? Royal Enfield knows their fans aren’t millionaires, so they’re keeping it affordable yet premium. The base model should start at about ₹2.5 lakh ex-showroom—cheaper than a loaded petrol Bullet 350. Go for the mid-variant with fancy paint or extra storage, and you’re looking at ₹2.8 lakh. The top-end, with all bells and whistles like quick-charge capability, might touch ₹3 lakh. That’s a steal compared to other electric cruisers from Bajaj or Hero. Add in running costs—electricity is way cheaper than petrol—and it pays for itself quick. Subsidies for EVs could shave off more, so check your local deals. For what you get, it’s a smart buy that won’t burn a hole in your wallet.
Mileage
In the EV world, we ditch “mileage” for “range,” and boy, does this Bullet deliver. That 279km per charge is no joke—enough for a full day of commuting or a weekend getaway without hunting for plugs. Powered by the 15kWh pack, it sips energy efficiently, especially in eco mode where you might squeeze out 300km on flat roads. Real-world tests suggest 250km in mixed city-highway use, beating most rivals like the Tork Kratos. Charging? A full top-up takes 5-6 hours on a standard socket, or 80% in under two with a fast charger. No more fuel stops or oil changes—just plug in overnight. It’s reliable for India’s bumpy roads, too, thanks to a sturdy frame. If range anxiety kept you from EVs, this Bullet might just cure it.
