Well, the answer is something that needs more discussion among its fans and critics alike. But be prepared for the eventuality, as the company's CEO Siddhartha Lal had recently stated that it is well aware of the future of two-wheelers, especially electric motorcycles.

Recently, photos of a Royal Enfield electric motorcycle have been reported online. The bike is believed to be showcased at the company's Thailand showroom.

The electric Royal Enfiled's chassis have been redesigned to fit the battery housing in place of the engine. A belt drive replaces the chain drive on the electric Bullet. The electric motorcycle also features a fully digital instrument cluster with smartphone integration. Also, the famous thump-noise generating exhaust is missing.

From the images reported on the internet does not offer many details of the Royal Enfield electric motorcycle, except that it is based on the Classic 350 model and features Ohlins dual rear suspensions. Also, we aren't sure if this was a project by Royal Enfield or a Royal Enfield enthusiast has developed the electric Bullet.
