The electric two-wheeler (e2w) industry in India is experiencing explosive growth, with record monthly sales driven by soaring fuel prices, government incentives, and increasing environmental awareness. Buyers are increasingly shifting from petrol-powered models to cleaner, more economical EVs. However, the segment remains heavily skewed toward electric scooters, which account for approximately 95% of total e2w sales. The electric motorcycle category is still in its early stages, constrained by limited options, higher price points, and range anxiety.This imbalance is expected to change rapidly as major manufacturers roll out performance-oriented electric motorcycles tailored for Indian roads and riding conditions. Here are some of the most anticipated upcoming electric two-wheelers that could reshape the market:
Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6
Royal Enfield’s dedicated electric sub-brand, Flying Flea, is making waves with the S6 scrambler. Unveiled recently, this lightweight electric motorcycle blends classic RE styling with modern off-road capabilities. It features long-travel suspension, dual-sport tyres, a 19-inch front wheel, and multiple riding modes, including a dedicated off-road setting. Designed for urban commuting as well as mild trails, the S6 emphasizes lightweight construction with advanced heat dissipation technology. Expected to launch in India around late 2026, it is positioned in the ₹2–3 lakh range and is expected to appeal to enthusiasts seeking a fun, retro-modern electric experience.
