- Performance on par with 125cc motorcycles
- Estimated range of 154km on a single charge
- Global launch soon
Royal Enfield has finally revealed key specifications of its upcoming electric bike, the Flying Flea C6, after first showcasing it at EICMA in 2024. While production is still slated for 2026, the initial details give a clearer picture of what to expect.
Starting with performance, the C6 is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 15.4kW, putting it roughly in line with a 125cc petrol motorcycle. Torque stands at 60Nm, enabling a 0–60km/h sprint in 3.7 seconds. Riders will have access to five modes: City, Highway, Rain, Sport, and a custom setting, to tailor throttle response and energy use.
Top speed is rated at 115km/h, and at 124kg, the C6 remains impressively light, again comparable to traditional 125cc bikes, which aligns with its positioning as an accessible urban electric.
However, the biggest trade-off comes in the battery. The Flying Flea C6 uses a relatively small 3.91kWh pack, which prioritises weight savings over outright range. For context, bikes like the KTM Freeride E use a larger 5.5kWh battery.
Under ideal test conditions (Indian Driving Cycle), the C6 claims a range of 154km, helped by regenerative braking that feeds energy back into the battery. In real-world conditions, though, early reports suggest a more realistic range of around 80km, depending on factors like rider weight, riding style, and ambient temperature. In essence, the Flying Flea C6 is shaping up to be a lightweight, city-focused electric motorcycle with decent performance—but one that clearly prioritises agility and city accessibility over long-distance usability.
