Riding isn’t just about reaching a place. It’s about feeling the road. It’s about that mix of wind, engine hum, and the view ahead that clears your mind like nothing else.
And when you throw an electric motorcycle into the mix, you’re not just riding, you’re gliding. And it’s powerful in a way that petrol bikes just don’t feel anymore.
If you’re the kind of guy who wakes up on a Saturday, looks at the sky, and thinks “Where to today?”, you’re in the right place.
This isn’t a boring list of routes. This is a rider’s guide to reclaiming the weekend. These are routes chosen for what they offer: curves, cafes, views, open stretches, and moments that feel like they’re just made for you and your machine.
Let’s dive into the ultimate weekend escapes for electric motorcycle riders in India.
1. Mumbai to Lonavala via the Old Highway

- Ride length: Around 85 km (one way)
- Why this hits: Sharp corners, wide views, and chai with a view
- Charging: Yes, Lonavala has EV stations near tourist areas and resorts
Ask any Mumbaikar biker, and they’ll tell you the old Mumbai-Pune highway is a ride you don’t forget. It’s not just the road, it’s the transition. One hour you’re weaving through Mumbai traffic, and the next, you’re cutting through lush hills and misty turns.
On an electric motorcycle, this route is special. The instant torque lets you zip past slow traffic. You can actually hear the wind and the birds. Stop at Tiger Point for a photo (you’re definitely going to want to post this one), then head into town for a hot vada pav or a sandwich from Cooper’s.
Pro tip: Start early, like really early. By 6 AM, you’ll have the curves to yourself.
2. Delhi to Neemrana Fort
- Ride length: Around 120 km
- Why this one’s different: You’re riding into royalty
- Charging: Yes, some premium hotels in Neemrana now have EV points
Neemrana isn’t just a fort. It’s an experience. And getting there on an electric bike makes the ride just as exciting as the destination.
Leaving Delhi early in the morning, the roads are straight, smooth, and clean. Perfect terrain for letting your e-bike stretch its legs. The real charm kicks in as you get closer to the Aravallis. It’s not about speed here, it’s about soaking in the changing landscape.
Once you reach Neemrana, you park in style. Your motorcycle looks sleek and futuristic against the backdrop of a 15th-century fort. Order a cold drink, sit by the pool, and enjoy that unbeatable mix of history and modern tech.
You rode here. Silently. Stylishly. Smoothly.
3. Chennai to Mahabalipuram via East Coast Road

- Ride length: Around 60 km
- What makes it special: One word, sea
- Charging: Yes, cafes and resorts on ECR are adding EV points quickly
This one’s a classic. The East Coast Road (ECR) is one of the most beautiful stretches in the south. The Bay of Bengal follows you on one side, while coconut trees sway on the other. If ever a road was made for an electric ride, this is it.
It’s flat, open, and peaceful. No mountain passes or hairpin bends here, just cruise control and coastlines. You don’t ride this road. You vibe with it.
Stop at a beach café for breakfast, take your shoes off, and feel the sand between your toes. Then roll into Mahabalipuram, check out the stone temples, and let your bike cool off under the shade while you take in centuries of history.
And because electric bikes are whisper-quiet, you’ll notice something most riders miss: the sound of waves while you ride.
4. Pune to Mulshi Lake
- Ride length: Around 50 km
- Why it’s a rider’s favourite: Nature, curves, and calm
- Charging: A few resorts and eco-hotels offer EV charging now
If there’s a route that gives you that “just me and the road” feeling, it’s this one. The ride from Pune to Mulshi Lake is short, but it’s packed with smooth roads, thick green patches, and lots of sweet corners to lean into.
Start early, because Mulshi in the morning feels untouched. Your electric motorcycle glides through the mist like it’s made for it. And unlike petrol engines, there’s no rumbling to disturb the peace.
Reach the lake, switch off the bike, and just listen. The silence, the breeze, the slight ripples on the water. Feels good, doesn’t it?
5. Bangalore to Chikkaballapur via Nandi Hills Route

Ride length: Around 70 km
Why it’s unforgettable: One word, sunrise
Charging: Yes, charging stations in Nandi Hills and surrounding areas
This one is a must-do for every Bangalore biker. And if you ride electric, it’s a next-level experience.
Wake up at 4 AM. Grab a quick coffee. Head towards Nandi Hills before sunrise. The road has enough curves to keep it fun, and the view at the top? Mind-blowing. Watching the sun rise above the clouds while sitting on your silent machine… feels like a movie moment.
After the view, ride down to Chikkaballapur for breakfast. Try the idlis at a roadside joint. They taste better when you’ve earned them.
Why Electric Motorcycles Are Perfect for Scenic Rides

Let’s take a pause here. You might be wondering, “Sure, the routes sound nice. But why choose an electric bike for it?”
Let’s break it down.
- Instant power, no lag.
You twist the throttle, and it goes. No waiting. No gear changes. Just smooth, fast acceleration, especially when climbing.
2. No engine noise.
That means you hear nature. The wind. The birds. The world. And it also means less disturbance wherever you stop.
3. Lower heat, better ride.
Electric bikes don’t heat up like petrol ones. So even in city traffic or steep climbs, your ride stays cool.
4. Easy charging on short trips.
Most of these routes are under 150 km. With charging stations popping up at resorts, cafes, and fuel stations, your weekend plans are fully backed.
5. Zero guilt. Full fun.
No smoke. No emissions. Just clean, green riding.
