Family pack 😂

[@virafbillimoria8324]

RE should have given the 450 engine in this very design. ❤

[@jb-lu4vo]

It is a very good idea, India is always ahead of China with its innovations. Thanks 😊

[@raviutkarshkujur9]

Rectangle dash looks nice !! I wish it was there on Himalayan452

[@rogerborgeryd1897]

I do like the round dash on the new Himalayan actually! Looks fresh! On the electric bike the rectangular works fine visually!

[@ateequrrahman4684]

You can also lay down on the seat

Looks cool for an ev

Just plonk a Himalayan 452 engine in this prototype. Instant Nirvana ❤

Imagine you are in the middle of nowhere, offloading, and your battery runs out

[@sushanthkaruturi07]

[@m.s.bhanuprakashreddy5041]

Before going nowhere you need to check your battery range/percentage buddy.

Imagine you are in the middle of nowhere, offroading, and your petrol runs out

[@OmFreeRadical]

Imagine imagining that u have to middle of nowhere to face non-existent and unmotorable roads and mountains.. 😂

[@anirudhhhh]

​@@OmFreeRadical In such a situation maybe you can carry a giant bag with foldable solar panels. Wait for 2-3 days live like Bear Grylls. Till then you can charge maybe and get maybe 30 kms of range. Ride the bike. Repeat. Or even better there are some small water turbines available. Drop a few of them in the nearest river. The flow of the river will add usable range in 3-4 days.

[@Farhan_049]

I can imagine a more immersive experience inside jungles or, pun intended, the Himalayas! Since there's no bike exhaust noises, we'll be able to hear the natural landscape even better and absorb it in it's utmost raw beauty.

[@adil0028]

​@@RK-Ximagine going on an adventure ride with the sound of engines as you cruise through. Bleh

[@vinayemmadi2234]

[@tapas1505]

You can't rip off the performance of an EV, it will drain the battery in minutes. And you will always have to reserve your stock of range anxiety, that means your heart beat will always be on the higher side during a long ride or offroading. Truly speaking, EVs are still not practical and only like good looking toys.😇

[@rogerborgeryd1897]

It'll take some time before you can overland or even take longer day trips with electric bikes but for the average user they will get there in the near future, for sure! Personally I'd love being able to cruise the forests without the exhaust sound :)

[@Farhan_049]

@@rogerborgeryd1897 Exactly. I'd rather hear the sounds of insects and birds, or even rustling wind than that boring exhaust noise we're all so familiar with! Adventure bikes should help us enjoy the adventure, not mute the natural melodies with their blunt and coarse thumping.

[@ajithraj1202]

We want gear

"this bike will not come into production"

Short cut to a long story

[@drury2d8]

Performance EV motorcycles make ZERO sense, just fancy garage ornaments and 50 km weekend rides.. Aerodynamics is a big factor.
