Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 showcased in India

Royal Enfield's new electric sub-brand, Flying Flea, has unveiled its first electric model in India. Named the C6, this model draws inspiration from the original Flying Flea motorcycle that was utilized by the British Army during World War II. Initially presented in Milan, the Flying Flea C6 features a lightweight construction complemented by girder front forks.

The primary Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) of the Flying Flea C6 has been entirely designed internally, encompassing all physical and digital interfaces on the motorcycle. The manufacturer previously indicated that the VCU will enhance not only the motor's efficiency but also the overall riding experience through "subtle" modifications to the throttle, braking, and regenerative feedback. A majority of these controls will be available through a mobile application.
