Prices of the Enigma Cafe Racer Electric bike are yet to be announced, but pre-bookings have started. The Enigma Cafe Racer bike will be launched by Diwali.

Enigma Cafe Racer Powertrain
The Enigma Cafe Racer is powered by a 72 V 52 Ah lithium-ion battery attached to a 5.6 kW motor. The power output is unknown, but its top speed and range of 140 kilometres on a single charge in city mode do give it a novel edge. Besides, there are two options to charge the bike. The standard outlet can charge 0-80% in 3 hours, and another hour to get it fully charged. The battery, on the other hand, comes with a five-year warranty with unlimited km. But the battery is good for 5000 cycles, after which you will eventually have to buy another one.
Design and Colours
Details of the Cafe Racers chassis are not available as of yet. But our assumptions are that it sits on a double-cradle frame, to give the batteries a kind of platform. The vintage-style design is evident from the fat bob tyres on both front and rear, and the old-school saddle that ends with a classic cafe racer bump at the rear. Given that Enigma is marketing this as a commuter bike, there should be an option for the pillion riders. The design is completely made in India, with all the materials locally sourced. Except for the lithium-ion battery unit, something that Enigma is working on to make it homegrown. The Cafe Racer is available in five colours - Log Orange, Military Green, Thunder White, RMS Red, and Earl Grey.
