Royal Enfield is gearing up to launch its first electric motorcycle – the Flying Flea C6 – in early 2026. The timeline was confirmed by the company’s CEO during a recent earnings call.
The Flying Flea C6 made its global debut at EICMA 2024, followed by multiple city-level showcases across India. These public displays were part of Royal Enfield’s strategy to familiarise customers with its upcoming EV and build positive brand perception. The bike initially faced criticism for its unconventional styling, lack of exhaust note, and body proportions that seemed out of sync with the brand’s current lineup.
Positioned as an urban electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6 is capable of short-distance rides beyond city limits but isn’t meant for long-haul touring. It has been developed entirely in-house under RE’s new EV sub-brand, with several technologies filed under fresh patents.
The C6 features a circular full-TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, along with traction control and cornering ABS – a first for any Royal Enfield. The expected price range is between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 3 lakh (ex-showroom).
A Scrambler-styled variant, likely to be called the **Flying Flea S6**, is also in the pipeline and is expected to launch in the second half of 2026.
