Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 uses a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery paired with an air-cooled setup and a magnesium alloy casing
Royal Enfield has stepped into the electric space with the Flying Flea C6 and the brand’s dedicated showroom for the EV range will be inaugurated in a couple of days alongside the price announcement. The lightweight motorcycle takes inspiration from the original Flying Flea and thus, it focusses on offering simplicity and usability.
At the heart of action in the RE Flying Flea C6 is a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery pack paired with an air-cooled setup and a magnesium alloy casing. The system runs at a nominal voltage of 101.9V. Power comes from a permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 15.4 kW (20.65 hp) and 60 Nm of torque – delivered through a belt drive system.
The motor is integrated with the control unit to keep things compact and clean. The zero-emission model can hit a top speed of 115 kmph and accelerates from 0 to 60 kmph in just 3.7 seconds. The claimed IDC range stands at 154 km which should be adequate for daily commuting needs. Charging is relatively quick too – a full 0 to 100 per cent charge takes about 2 hours and 16 minutes while 20 to 80 per cent can be done in 65 minutes under standard conditions.
Up front, the distinctively looking motorcycle uses a girder linkage suspension with a hydraulic twin setup coupled with a rear monoshock featuring an internal floating piston. Wheel travel stands at 100 mm at the front and 110 mm at the rear. The Flying Flea rides on 19-inch tubeless tyres at both ends ensuring a unique stance compared to typical small EVs.
Braking duties are handled by a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc – supported by dual-channel ABS with three sensitivity levels and switchable rear ABS. It also gets lean-angle sensitive ABS and traction control which is still rare in this segment. Additional rider aids include a tip-over alert system and a location-sharing feature.
In terms of dimensions, the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 measures 2,089 mm in length, 831 mm in width and 1,122 mm in height. It has a seat height of 823 mm and a ground clearance of 207 mm. The kerb weight is just 124 kg – making it one of the lighter electric motorcycles around while carrying capacity is rated at 160 kg.
Other highlights are a 3.5-inch colour TFT display with touch input, a USB-C charger and even wireless phone charging. The inclusion of an electronic handlebar lock enables additional security. Since the concept was conceived, the arrival of the C6 has long been anticipated as it will give rise to more variants down the line including a scrambler.
