The words "electric" and "retro" don't usually belong in the same sentence, especially when it comes to motorcycles. This, however, hasn't stopped certain manufacturers from coming up with electric motorcycles with retro inspirations. A good example of this is Royal Enfield, who previously announced that it was developing its very first electric motorcycle.
Now, naturally, an electric motorcycle will never be able to exude the same charm and riding sensation as that of a thumpy single-cylinder, or a burly parallel-twin, but it can make up for this when it comes to styling, and ultimately, fit and finish. Royal Enfield is known precisely for this, and while its bikes aren't exactly as well-polished as those fo Triumph and Ducati, they do offer a similar aesthetic to your Thruxtons, Bonnevilles, and Scramblers, but at a fraction of the price.
