Royal Enfield has been working on its first electric motorcycle for a while now. There had been multiple sightings of the test mule and various speculations about the specs. Well, now it all ends because the Royal Enfield Flying Flea has been officially and finally launched!
Royal Enfield’s first electric motorcycle has been introduced in India. Priced at ₹2.79 lakh or AED 10,723 (ex-showroom), the Flying Flea C6 also gets a Battery-as-a-Service option at ₹1.99 lakh or AED 7903. Bookings open on 10 April, with deliveries set to begin by the end of May 2026, starting with Bengaluru.
True to its name, the C6 draws inspiration from the iconic WWII-era Flying Flea, but with a modern electric twist. It stands out with its girder suspension, exposed frame, floating seat, and finned magnesium battery casing – giving it a raw, mechanical appeal rarely seen in EVs. Weighing just 124 kg, it’s the lightest Royal Enfield yet, promising a nimble and playful riding experience.
Power comes from a 15.4 kW motor producing 20.6 bhp and 60 Nm, enabling a top speed of 115 km/h. The 3.91 kWh battery offers a claimed 154 km range and supports 20–80% charging in 65 minutes via a standard socket.
Despite its retro-inspired design, the bike is loaded with modern tech, including a circular touchscreen display with navigation, multiple ride modes, cornering ABS and traction control.
With its entry into the growing electric 2-wheeler industry in India, it’d be interesting to see how Royal Enfield moves ahead with the Flying Flea in the international market. Would you be interested in this EV if it lands in the UAE?
