Electric Two-Wheelers Launching in 2026: Key Models to Look Out For

From scooters to motorcycles, discover the top electric two-wheelers slated for launch in 2026 and what they mean for the evolving EV market.

2025 was packed with a bunch of new launches across all segments. With the electric vehicle (EV) industry scaling new heights every year, we get to see many new battery-powered vehicles every year. The outgoing year, too, had plenty of new faces especially in the electric two-wheeler segment. Let us look at some of the highly anticipated electric two-wheelers coming to the Indian market in 2025.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6

Royal Enfield will officially enter the electric two-wheeler market with the launch of its new electric motorcycles under the Flying Flea brand. The first model under the Flying Flea brand will be the C6 which made its India debut as a concept scooter earlier this year. Drawing inspiration from the original Flying Flea motorcycle of the first World War era, the C6 has a unique design with elements such as girder front forks and a teardrop-shaped faux tank. However, Royal Enfield hasn’t disclosed any specifications for the upcoming electric motorcycle.

Expected Ex-Showroom Price: ₹2.50–3.00 lakh

2026 Bajaj Chetak

The year is going to kickstart with the launch of a new Bajaj Chetak electric scooter. Expected to make its debut in mid-January, the new Chetak is expected to come with an affordable price tag, most likely below ₹1.0 lakh (ex-showroom). Test mules of this scooter have been spied on multiple occasions in the last few months. As a result, expect this upcoming Chetak to include necessary ‘pocket-friendly’ bits including a simpler hub motor, telescopic fork, twin rear shock absorber, and a floorboard-mounted battery pack.
