The Flying Flea C6 comes in 3 colours; Storm Black, Flea Green and Parachute White. It takes clear design cues from the original classic Flying Flea models from Royal Enfield in the 1940s. It features an awesome retro design with an iconic girder fork. Underneath the retro aesthetic lies some serious electric performance.

The Flying Flea C6 was introduced earlier this year by Royal Enfield, initially launching it in Bengaluru then later expanding to Hyderabad. It has also launched in the UK and various other European countries showing it has big aspirations internationally. A new model called the S6 is confirmed to be released soon, however it will share the same foundations but will have a more scrambler look. This shows that the Flying Flea C6 is just the start of the Flying Flea family. The model is being rolled out in an extremely cautious manner. They are ensuring that there is a solid sales and service network in place for all owners.
With Pune launched, the Flying Flea C6 will be accessible to a larger audience wanting a unique premium electric motorcycle.
