Built around Enfield's classic motorcycle platform, the 2011 Enfield Bullet Electra Scrambler pairs a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22 HP (16.1 kW) at 5,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 44.1 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Bullet Electra Scrambler measures 167.8 kg (370 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.38-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.36 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 428 km (266 miles) between fill-ups.
