Royal Enfield has outlined its electric roadmap under the revived Flying Flea badge. The first production model will be the Flying Flea C6. The Flying Flea S6 follows later.
Launch Timeline
Royal Enfield CEO B. Govindarajan confirmed the schedule. Flying Flea C6 launches in India around March 2026. Global rollout begins in Spring 2026.
The company plans an initial release in Europe. Royal Enfield used a similar sequence with the Interceptor 650. Indian deliveries should begin by mid-2026.
Flying Flea C6 Overview
The C6 is the Classic-styled EV. Design draws from the 1940s Flying Flea motorcycle.
Key highlights:
• Forged aluminium girder fork
• Magnesium battery case as stressed member
• Urban-focused performance target
The girder fork separates steering and suspension functions. The architecture targets ride stability and compliance.
Range figures remain undisclosed. Expected performance aligns with 125–150cc petrol motorcycles.
Feature set includes:
• Traction control
• Cornering ABS
Positioning targets urban usage. Not intended as a long-distance tourer.
Flying Flea S6 Overview
The S6 adopts a scrambler layout. Shares battery and motor platform with the C6.
Changes include:
• Longer travel suspension
• Wire-spoke wheels
• Flat bench seat
Launch window: Spring 2027.
Expected Pricing
Industry estimates place the C6 between: Rs 2.50 lakh – Rs 3.00 lakh (ex-showroom)
This places the model above mass-market EV scooters such as the Ola S1.
Segment focus remains premium lifestyle motorcycles.
Market Context
India’s two-wheeler market in CY2025:
• Total market: 2.05 crore units
• Scooters: 75.24 lakh
• Motorcycles: 1.25 crore
Motorcycles retain volume leadership. Scooters continue gaining urban share.
EV two-wheeler retail sales:
• 2024: 11,49,416 units
• 2025: 12,79,951 units
Penetration increased to 6.3 percent.
Implications
Royal Enfield’s strategy avoids price competition. Flying Flea targets differentiation through design and positioning. Volume expectations remain secondary to brand placement.
