Royal Enfield Showcases The Flying Flea C6 In India

Quick News Highlights:

• Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 showcased in India

• It is the company’s first ever electric bike

• Launch expected sometime around March 2026

Royal Enfield has officially showcased the Flying Flea C6 in India. It is the manufacturer’s first ever electric bike. The much anticipated motorcycle has retro roadster styling, but with an electric twist. It is expected to be launched globally by March 2026.

Design

The Flying Flea C6 draws inspiration from the iconic Flying Flea used during World War II, incorporating vintage design elements with a modern take on it. The bike features a round headlamp, handlebar mounted indicators, circular mirrors, and a slim tank design, all adding to its retro styling.

Performance

Royal Enfield plans to position the Flying Flea C6 as an urban motorcycle, ideal for city commuting. Given that larger batteries for longer ranges typically add more weight, the Flea C6 has been designed to offer adequate range with a relatively lighter kerb weight. The battery pack, which powers the bike, is placed just below the ‘fuel’ tank, with functional cooling fins.

Underpinnings

The Flea is equipped with a disc brake and alloy wheels at both ends. Suspension wise, it has a unique girder fork, and a monoshock. The frame is a forged aluminum one, and it gets a cast aluminum swing arm. The brand claims a kerb weight of 110kg for the bike.

Features

The  bike has a 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen, with Bluetooth connectivity, Google Maps, music control, TPMS, call and message alerts, and weather updates. The TFT displays the torque and power band, and supports over-the-year cloud updates. The screen is controlled via a joystick and voice control. A wireless phone charger and a USB Type-C charging port has also been provided. The bike has remote unlock and lock, it also unlocks when you walk close to it, but does not lock when you walk away.

Additionally, the bike features dual-channel ABS, lean-sensitive ABS, with the rear ABS switchable for different riding conditions. It also offers regen cruise, cruise control and three levels of traction control (TC). Riders can choose between five riding modes: Eco, Rain, Tour, Performance, and a customizable mode via their smartphone. A dedicated SOS button can send an emergency message to contacts in the event of a crash and can also call emergency services with a single press. Two levels of regenerative braking and customizable power and torque settings are also present. The maps system calculates battery consumption based on traffic, distance, and terrain. It also offers three charging modes: Trickle, Standard, and Rapid.

Pricing & Rivals

The C6 is expected to be priced at Rs 4.5 lakh (ex-showroom), and will be manufactured at the manufacturer's upcoming EV factory in Vallam Vadagal, Tamil Nadu. The bike does not really have any direct rivals, but upon launch could take on other electric bikes like the upcoming Ola Roadster Pro and also maybe the Ultraviolette F77. Although, its classic inspired design makes it stand out compared to every other electric bike.

BikeDekho Says

As more electric vehicles enter the scene, it will be exciting to see how the Flying Flea C6 performs in the ever evolving EV landscape. While the Flying Flea C6 is Royal Enfield's first venture into the electric space, it will certainly not be its last. The launch is expected to happen sometime around March 2026. The company has other projects in development as well, with the Scrambler S6 set to follow the C6. We will be updating the story with more images and further details from the unveil event soon, so stay tuned.
