Royal Enfield Rolls Out New EV: Introducing Flying Flea
Royal Enfield has made its first official move into the electric vehicle market by establishing a new subsidiary, Flying Flea. This EV-focused brand aims to blend Royal Enfield’s classic styling with modern electric technology, beginning with its first release, the Flying Flea C6.
Flying Flea C6: A Classic Bobber-Inspired Design
The Flying Flea C6 embraces a vintage-inspired look, paying homage to classic motorcycles with its low-slung, bobber-style silhouette. Key design elements include a raked-out front and a solo saddle, exuding a retro aesthetic. One of its standout features is the girder-style front fork—a rare vintage design choice in today’s motorcycles.
Premium Build with Forged Aluminum and Modern Tech
The C6 is crafted from forged aluminum, lending it a premium touch that’s unusual in budget-friendly EVs. The bike also includes a touchscreen TFT dashboard and all-new switchgear, paired with full LED lighting and a distinctive headlight design, setting it apart from the traditional Royal Enfield lineup.
Urban-Focused Performance and Agility
Though details on the C6’s powertrain, range, and performance are yet to be disclosed, it’s clear that the bike is tailored for urban commuting. It comes equipped with disc brakes on both front and rear, and its slim tires are designed to enhance agility in city environments while also helping to maximize range by reducing rolling resistance.
Optional Two-Seater Configuration
While the C6 is primarily designed as a solo-seater, Flying Flea offers an optional pillion seat for those who require a two-seater setup, providing added versatility for different riding needs.
Sneak Peek: Upcoming Flying Flea S6
In addition to the C6, Flying Flea has teased another model, the S6 electric scrambler. The S6 will feature a more rugged design with longer-travel suspension, spoked wheels with dual-purpose tires, and a flat bench seat for enhanced versatility, targeting riders who prefer a more adventurous style.
Expected Launch and Availability
The Flying Flea C6 is anticipated to hit the market by spring 2026. However, it remains unclear whether it will be sold through the Royal Enfield dealer network or exclusive Flying Flea showrooms.
A New Chapter for Royal Enfield in the EV Market
The launch of Flying Flea marks an exciting venture for Royal Enfield, as it explores the EV segment by combining its heritage with cutting-edge technology. The Flying Flea brand represents Royal Enfield’s commitment to a future that values both legacy and innovation in electric mobility.
