As part of its customer-focused rollout strategy, Flying Flea has established a dedicated ownership and service ecosystem across Bengaluru. The company has adopted a hub-and-spoke service model, with a central service hub located in BTM Layout handling specialised support, while multiple spoke centres across the city cater to routine maintenance and service requirements. Leveraging Royal Enfield's extensive retail footprint, Flying Flea will also operate through a shop-in-shop format within existing Royal Enfield dealerships and service centres.

To further enhance the ownership experience, every Flying Flea C6 comes with 24x7 roadside assistance, ensuring support is readily available whenever required.

The Flying Flea C6 is being introduced through a phased city-by-city rollout strategy. The electric motorcycle is offered in two colour options: Storm Black and Flea Green and is priced at Rs 2.79 lakh (ex-showroom). Customers can also opt for a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, which lowers the upfront purchase price to Rs 1.99 lakh.

A heritage-inspired electric motorcycle

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Flying Flea motorcycles used by military forces during the 1940s, the new FF.C6 combines retro-inspired design elements with modern electric vehicle technology. Royal Enfield describes it as a "city+" motorcycle, engineered to deliver urban agility while offering premium connectivity and rider-focused features.

Powering the motorcycle is a 3.91kWh lithium-ion battery pack paired with an electric motor producing 15.4kW (21bhp) and 60Nm of motor torque. The company claims the powertrain generates more than 400Nm of wheel torque, helping the lightweight 124kg motorcycle deliver brisk acceleration. The FF.C6 has a claimed top speed of 115kmph.

Charging duties can be handled through Rapid, Standard and Trickle charging modes using a conventional 16A socket. The battery can be replenished from 20 to 80 percent charge in just over an hour, making it practical for everyday commuting.

Packed with technology

The Flying Flea C6 arrives with an extensive list of connected features including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, remote vehicle monitoring, and over-the-air software updates. Rider aids include lean-sensitive ABS, traction control, cruise control, voice assistance, live location sharing and tip-over alerts.

A joystick-controlled round TFT touchscreen serves as the command centre for the motorcycle, while a rotary mode selector allows riders to switch between riding modes seamlessly.

Unique design and engineering

One of the standout engineering highlights of the FF.C6 is its forged aluminium Girder fork setup, a modern reinterpretation of a classic suspension design rarely seen on contemporary motorcycles. The motorcycle also features an articulating front mudguard, removable pillion seat and adjustable footpegs, blending functionality with distinctive styling.

Flying Flea says the motorcycle was developed entirely in-house at its dedicated technology centre by a team of over 200 engineers across India and the UK. The project has already generated more than 45 patent applications and received international recognition through the Red Dot Award 2025 in the Design Concept category.

With deliveries now underway in Bengaluru, the Flying Flea C6 signals the beginning of Royal Enfield's electric future, combining the brand's rich motorcycling heritage with modern technology and sustainable urban mobility.
