Royal Enfield is turning heads once again—this time with sparks, not smoke. Meet the Flying Flea C6, the brand’s first electric motorcycle, recently showcased in India after its global debut at EICMA 2024 in Milan. Blending vintage charm with futuristic tech, this electric roadster pays homage to the iconic World War II-era Flying Flea while propelling the brand into a bold new era.

At first glance, the Flying Flea C6 is a showstopper. Its retro-roadster silhouette is adorned with a teardrop-shaped “tank,” round LED lighting, and a scooped seat reminiscent of classic Royal Enfields. Adding to the vintage vibe is the rare girder fork up front—a true nod to old-school engineering. The battery sits subtly under the tank with cooling fins, while the clean rear features a braced fender and retro-style tail lights.

Though Royal Enfield hasn’t released full specs yet, insiders suggest the bike will match the performance of a 250–300cc petrol machine. It’s built on a solid chassis with a monoshock, disc brakes, 19-inch alloy wheels, and belt drive—all tuned for a smooth, electric ride.

Tech lovers, rejoice. The Flying Flea packs a 3.5-inch round TFT touchscreen console that offers navigation with battery prediction, voice assist, calls, SMS alerts, music control, ride data, and even torque feedback. There’s a wireless phone charger built into the tank, and three charging modes: Trickle, Standard, and Rapid.

Add in keyless ignition, a tamper alert system, dual-channel lean-sensitive ABS, cruise control, traction control, regen braking, and five customizable ride modes—and you’ve got a smart machine that’s as savvy as it is stylish.

Expected to launch in March 2026 at around ₹4.5 lakh, the Flying Flea C6 is more than just a motorcycle—it’s a time-traveling, tech-powered tribute on two wheels.
