Flying Flea is Royal Enfield’s new city+ electric mobility brand and Tuesday’s launch was its first motorcycle. It is priced at ₹2.79 lakh (ex-showroom) or ₹1.99 lakh (battery-as-a-service) and is available in ‘Storm Black’ and ‘Flea Green’ colours.
The motorcycle will be available from April 10 at the first Flying Flea store in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, the company said. The bookings will commence from 12 PM, with deliveries set to begin at the end of May. The company said the rollout will follow a phased, city-by-city approach.
Royal Enfield said the FF.C6 has a top speed of 115km/hour and over 400 Nm of wheel torque, all within a lightweight 124kg. It offers swift acceleration while maintaining stability through lean-angle sensing ABS, traction control, and rider aids like tip-over alert and live location sharing.
The motorcycle is powered by a 3.91 kWh battery and offers seamless connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4G, and remote monitoring, the company said.
The charging is flexible and efficient at around 1% per minute with options for rapid, standard and trickle charging using a universal wall outlet.
“With Flying Flea we are not just introducing a motorcycle, we are shaping the future of riding and welcoming a new generation of riders into the world of Royal Enfield. We have a strong pipeline of electric two-wheelers that will continue to build on our vision over time,” B Govindarajan, MD of Eicher Motors Ltd. and CEO of Royal Enfield, said.
