Introducing the Flying Flea C6
Royal Enfield has officially unveiled its highly anticipated electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6. Drawing design inspiration from the lightweight motorcycle of the same name used during World War II, the C6 marks the beginning of Royal Enfield’s foray into the electric vehicle market. The new model is set to debut in 2026, alongside plans for additional models under the ‘Flying Flea’ sub-brand.
Design and Features
The Flying Flea C6 boasts distinctive design elements, including a unique girder-style fork reminiscent of motorcycles from the 1930s and 1940s. This model features a forged aluminium frame, a ribbed magnesium battery pack, and a single-seat configuration. The round headlight, tail-light, and turn indicators complement the TFT touchscreen dashboard, enhancing its retro appeal.
Technical Specifications
While specific technical details remain under wraps, Royal Enfield has confirmed that the Flying Flea C6 will be equipped with a mid-mounted permanent magnet motor and a belt final drive. The motorcycle will include modern features such as smartphone connectivity, cornering ABS, traction control, cruise control, and five different ride modes, including Reverse, City, and Performance.
Upcoming Models
Following the launch of the C6, Royal Enfield plans to introduce a scrambler-style electric motorcycle named the Flying Flea S6. This indicates a broader strategy to establish a diverse electric lineup, similar to Harley-Davidson’s approach with its LiveWire brand.
Conclusion
As Royal Enfield ventures into the electric motorcycle market with the Flying Flea C6, it combines nostalgic design elements with modern technology. The anticipated launch in 2026 promises to offer enthusiasts a unique blend of heritage and innovation, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in the brand’s history.
