Royal Enfield has officially begun deliveries of its new electric motorcycle, the 'Flying Flea C6,' in India. Visordown reports that a phased global rollout is expected to follow shortly, marking the launch of a serious EV effort from the storied brand.
Royal Enfield beginning deliveries of the electric Flying Flea, starting in India — I find this move interesting from a data standpoint. Whether a brand with this much history can bring an EV down into the reality of mass production. The phased global rollout is also a sound, steady approach. Not sentiment, but putting it into the market first and verifying — I think that's the right way to proceed.

Is there some historical background behind the name 'Flying Flea'?
It should be named after the small military bike Enfield built for paratroopers during World War II.
How the price gets set for the global rollout is going to shape its competitiveness in Japan too.
There was also that Himalayan Electric article — Enfield's electric lineup is steadily expanding.
The plan's probably to launch deliveries in India first, gather quality feedback, and then roll out globally — but early buyers might want to brace themselves as guinea pigs.
The storied Enfield's first serious step into electric — news that deliveries are starting carries real weight.
Deliveries starting in India with a global rollout to follow — the Flying Flea C6 has finally reached the stage where real bikes are landing in people's hands.
