India's Bajaj Auto has officially confirmed it will launch its first electric motorcycle in fiscal year 2028 (FY28).

How they carry the electric assets built up through the Chetak over into a motorcycle — that's what I can't stop thinking about. A scooter and a motorcycle demand different power delivery. There's time until FY28, but I want to track what motor and battery configuration they land on through the numbers as more comes out.

Depending on the electric bike's range, it might still be rough for long-distance touring.

TVS and Hero are both pushing electrification too, so Bajaj can't afford to fall behind.

Right, it's a bit off from Japan's fiscal-year sense, so it's confusing at first.

Bajaj already has a track record with electric scooters, so extending that to motorcycles feels like a natural next step.

The Chetak was a scooter, but electrifying a proper motorcycle is a different level of difficulty.

FY28 means it's still more than two years out, so no need to get worked up about it yet.
