We’re that includes 4 of them right here, one among which was commissioned by Royal Enfield. That is maybe a sneak peek into what may be anticipated from the forthcoming electrical Royal Enfield.
Hammarhead Volta: This one is a blast from the previous however in a approach, extra trendy than your common Bullet 500. Lengthy earlier than the EV race caught tempo throughout the globe, James Hammarhead constructed an all-electric bike based mostly on a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 some 12 years in the past.

He retrofitted a brand new electrical battery pack and drivetrain, leading to an influence output of 11.4 hp and a variety of about 64-80 km in a single full cost. Spaven runs an engineering agency that additionally presents conversion kits for bikes.
This one’s from Bangkok and from December 2017. Photos of this electrical Royal Enfield Bullet did rounds on the Web however not a lot is understood about this electrical conversion and whether or not it was commissioned by Royal Enfield or was it a mod-job by a customized home in Thailand. The purpose is although that the concept of an electrical Bullet is intriguing to many.

Royal Enfield commissioned this construct apparently to gauge the probabilities of a Bullet powered by an electrical powertrain and so despatched a Bullet 500 because the donor bike to transform.
