Staying true to Royal Enfield’s heritage, the Flying Flea C6 is inspired by the legendary Flying Flea from World War II, known for its lightweight, rugged design. While its heart is electric, the bike keeps the charm of a vintage roadster, complete with a girder fork suspension, teardrop-shaped tank enclosure, and a braced rear fender.

Retro looks, futuristic features

The Flying Flea C6 is a rare mix of classic aesthetics and cutting-edge features. Its round LED headlamp, girder fork, and single-piece seat bring a timeless charm, while modern touches like an all-digital 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen instrument console add tech-savvy appeal. The console provides:

• Speed, range, state of charge, and trip data
• Google Maps navigation with estimated battery usage
• Smartphone connectivity for music, calls, and remote lock/unlock

Adding to the convenience, the bike gets keyless ignition, a wireless phone charger, and an emergency safety switch that alerts the owner in case of tampering.

Performance & battery

While Royal Enfield hasn’t revealed the exact battery and motor specs, the Flying Flea C6 is expected to offer performance similar to a 250-300cc petrol motorcycle. The bike gets belt drive, a monoshock rear suspension, and dual disc brakes with dual-channel ABS, making it well-suited for urban and highway riding.

It also features three charging modes – Trickle, Standard, and Rapid, allowing flexibility in charging speeds. Riders can switch between five riding modes – Eco, Rain, Tour, Performance, and Custom, with the Custom mode tweakable via a smartphone app.

Royal Enfield x Stark Mobility

The Flying Flea C6 is the result of Royal Enfield’s partnership with Spanish electric bike brand Stark Mobility. While Royal Enfield brings its expertise in manufacturing and scaling, Stark contributes advanced motor and battery controller technology.

The partnership could extend beyond the Flying Flea C6, as Royal Enfield is rumored to be working on a scrambler-styled Flying Flea S6 for adventure enthusiasts.

Expected launch & price

The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 is expected to hit Indian roads in March 2026, with an estimated ex-showroom price of ₹4.5 lakh. While that puts it on the premium side, the blend of heritage styling, modern tech, and electric performance could make it a unique proposition for enthusiasts.
