Eicher Motors Limited, the parent company of Royal Enfield, has announced an investment of 50 million Euros in Spanish EV maker Stark Future.



With the latest investment, the Chennai-based bikemaker has acquired a 10.35% stake in Stark Future. It also gives Eicher Motors a seat on the company’s board.

According to Royal Enfield CEO B Govindarajan, the company would leverage Stark’s EV technology to develop its own EV platforms, which could be shared among the brands in the future.

Stark Future is a European electric motorcycle maker. The company recently launched an electric motocross bike called the Stark Varg. It packs a 6 kWh battery that powers an electric motor that develops either 59 BHP or 79 BHP, depending on the variant.

Oh boy! Now, We'll have to expect a Himalayan EV in 5 years. If they can do a full motocross bike, perhaps.. An electric ADV isn't that far off - Provided the range is a good 200 kilometers at the least.

The future is indeed electric.

It will be interesting to see how they will create the thub-thub-thub "feeling" in an Electric bullet.

As far as I understand EV Technology, the acoustic impact can be replicated electronically / electro-mechanically, subject to Patent claims, if any. As for the design aesthetics, it can improve with evolving battery technology.
