Royal Enfield Takes Leap Into Electric Era With Flying Flea C6

Royal Enfield, a part of Eicher Motors, revealed its much-awaited electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6, yesterday night. Interestingly, the ‘Flying Flea’ name is a nostalgic reference to the lightweight, air-droppable motorcycles used during World War II.

According to Enfield, the Flying Flea is "approved and ready for the drop". During the presentation, the bikemaker also gave a brief overview of the bike. The S6, like the C6, is lean and taut with minimal bodywork, but it has a somewhat taller stance. Some of the primary visual characteristics are a round headlight with a chrome bezel, a circular digital instrument dashboard, a floating tail section, a false engine casing, gold anodised front forks, a beak in the front, and wire-spoke wheels with knobby dual-purpose tires.
