Royal Enfield has officially entered the electric vehicle segment with the launch of its first electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6, in India. Priced at ₹2.79 lakh (ex-showroom), the model is also available at a reduced cost of ₹1.99 lakh under a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) option. The launch marks a significant milestone for the iconic motorcycle brand as it begins its transition towards electric mobility, with more EV models, including the upcoming S6, expected to follow.
The Flying Flea C6 is powered by a 15.4 kW (20 hp) permanent magnet synchronous motor paired with a 3.91 kWh battery pack. The motorcycle delivers quick acceleration, going from 0 to 60 kmph in just 3.7 seconds, and has a top speed of 115 kmph. It offers a claimed IDC range of 154 km on a single charge, while its onboard charger can replenish the battery from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in approximately 65 minutes, making it suitable for urban commuting needs.
In terms of features, the electric motorcycle is equipped with modern technology aimed at enhancing rider convenience and safety. It includes all-LED lighting, Google-based navigation, wireless phone charging, traction control, and cornering ABS. Riders can also choose between multiple ride modes, including Sport and Individual, the latter allowing customisation of throttle response, ABS levels, and traction control settings.

The design of the Flying Flea C6 reflects a blend of retro inspiration and modern engineering. Drawing cues from the original Flying Flea, the bike features a compact structure with an exposed frame, girder-style front suspension, a floating seat, and a detachable pillion seat. Weighing just 124 kg, it is the lightest motorcycle ever produced by Royal Enfield, with an aluminium battery casing that enhances both aerodynamics and cooling efficiency while contributing to its distinctive appearance.
