Royal Enfield has unveiled 'RE-BALANCE,' a strategy for balancing ICE and EV investment. Chairman Siddhartha Lal said, 'We are building this electric future with real commitment.

The first Flying Flea electric model, the FF.C6, has opened its inaugural store in Bengaluru and is set to launch commercially next fiscal year.

'For as long as we possibly can' honestly reads like an admission of real hesitation. Committing hard to EVs while refusing to let go of petrol bikes is a rational hedge as a business, though. Choosing an urban play, opening the Flying Flea's first store in Bengaluru, tells me they know exactly where they want to fight the EV battle.

limiting the store to Bengaluru first is a smart way to narrow it down

at the end of the day it's still a 'not lowering the petrol flag' statement
