Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6: Top Highlights Explained

The new Royal Enfield Flying Flea electric motorcycle has been launched in India at Rs. 2.79 lakh. Here are all its highlights.

Distinct Design

The design of the Flying Flea C6 draws inspiration from the original Flying Flea of the 1940s. This is evident in the forged aluminium girder front fork, the round LED headlights, the slim frame, and the floating effect of the seat.

The pillion seat is removable, and this can be done in five to 10 minutes. The bike is offered in two colour options: Flea Green and Storm Black.

Long Features List

In terms of features, the C6 packs a comprehensive suite of rider aids and connectivity tech. It gets cruise control, a rotary mode switch for changing ride modes such as City, Highway, Sport, Rain, and even a customisable mode.

The bike gets cornering ABS and traction control with varying levels of intervention. In addition, there is a nice and crisp-looking touchscreen instrument cluster that also mirrors the maps while using the Flying Flea app.

The Power Station

Powering the motorcycle is a 3.91kWh lithium-ion battery housed in a lightweight magnesium alloy casing and supported by an air-cooled ventilation system. There’s regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration. The claimed range is 154km as per the IDC.

The battery can be charged using a standard 16A wall socket and supports rapid, standard, and trickle charging modes. The battery can be replenished from 20 to 80 per cent in just over 60 minutes, translating to a time of roughly 1km per minute.

The Motor

The electric motor delivers a peak power output of 15.4kW and a maximum torque of 60Nm, enabling brisk acceleration and a top speed of 115kmph.

The Chassis

The frame is light and compact, with the motorcycle tipping the scales at just 124kg. Suspension duties are handled by a girder fork at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock.

Braking is taken care of by a disc brake at the front and rear.

Availability

The first showroom has been opened in Bengaluru, and more will follow across India in a phased manner.
