Royal Enfield has officially launched its first-ever electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6, in India. Priced locally at ₹279,000 (about $3,000), it arrives as a lightweight premium urban model blending retro design with modern electric technology.
Comparing it to the old model is tricky since 'RE has no electric precedent,' and that's what makes it interesting. The Flying Flea C6 is RE's first electric machine, built from scratch. Looking at the spec sheet, the concept of a lightweight premium design focused on urban use is clear, with everything unnecessary trimmed away. With a follow-up S6 (scrambler) waiting in the wings, it's clear they're serious about expanding the electric lineup fast, and that gets my pulse up.

At 270,000 yen with these looks, it's totally viable as a second commuter bike.
About $3,000 is cheap, but there's no range or power figure listed. That's what it all hinges on.
Being labeled 'urban' already suggests short range. Definitely one where you give up on touring.
Honestly, with retro looks like this and being electric, I'd genuinely want one.
Royal Enfield, whose whole identity is the pulse of an air-cooled single, going electric - does that even mean anything as an RE?
Exactly, without that potato-potato sound it's just a quiet little moped.
Surprised RE is stepping into electric. From an environmental standpoint, I welcome it.
