Royal Enfield, going electric! Reviving the name Flying Flea, a wartime airborne bike, in electric form — this context alone is irresistible. What kind of flavor can an internal-combustion classicist bring out with a motor? Compared to the company's traditional image, what does the C6 keep, and what does it change? I want to know the full spec details soon.

Didn't know Flying Flea was the name of a WWII motorcycle.

For the vibe of an electric single, wouldn't the Meteor do just as well? What's the point of a whole new brand?

Given emissions in urban India, RE entering EVs is genuinely the right call.

Everything comes down to what the C6 costs in India. RE's strength has always been price.

So Flying Flea is a revival of the airborne bike name, that's a tastefully deep-cut choice.

RE going electric just doesn't sit right with me. Where'd that thumpy character go?

No, actually going all-in on a new brand is exciting, they're properly separating it from legacy RE too.
