In the meantime, we’ll have to be content with a glimpse of a Quality Function Development (QFD) concept bike called the Electrik01. Autocar Professional shared a product brief, including a teaser photo showing the front upper portion of the Electrik01. Perhaps what’s most interesting is that we can clearly see that it’s fitted with a girder (or cantilever) front suspension.

The girder-style front fork is typically associated with vintage motorcycles, or at least vintage-appearing motorcycles — Harley-Davidson produced a “springer” front fork well into the 2000s. Nonetheless, it seems like a daring choice for a modern EV. Besides the front fork, we can see a black alloy wheel, a conventional single-round headlight, and a silver frame that surrounds what would be the gas tank on an ICE motorcycle.
Though Royal Enfield may not be as well known in America as its Brit counterpart Triumph, it really should be. The brand markets six of its bikes in North America at very reasonable prices, including an off-road-oriented dual-sport appropriately called the Himalaya ($5,449) and a retro cafe racer known as the Continental GT ($6,349). It’s unclear at this time if the upcoming electric motorcycle will be imported to our shores or not.
