Flying Flea C6 Electric Motorcycle Review: Royal Enfield's Smallest Ride Faces Key Challenges The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6, the brand’s first electric motorcycle, has sparked curiosity and skepticism since its introduction in late 2024. While Royal Enfield is traditionally known for its powerful, fuel-driven bikes, the C6 represents a bold departure by eliminating the signature engine thump. This review explores the design, performance, and practicality of the C6, assessing whether it can retain the brand’s character without its traditional powertrain. The C6’s design is a stark contrast to Royal Enfield’s larger models. It is compact, minimalist, and visually distinct from both traditional ICE bikes and other electric motorcycles. The bike retains the brand’s iconic round headlamp and sleek body panels, but its proportions are tighter and more modern. Key design elements include a girder-style front suspension, a slim profile, and a battery casing integrated into the frame. While the overall build quality is high, some details, like the flimsy storage cover on the tank, feel underwhelming. The floating seat, clean handlebar area, and simple tail section contribute to its uncluttered aesthetic. Under the hood, the C6 is powered by a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery paired with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. This setup delivers slightly under 20 horsepower and 60 Nm of torque, with an estimated range of 154 km on a single charge. Charging from 0 to 100% takes approximately 2 hours and 16 minutes under ideal conditions. The bike weighs just 124 kg, making it one of the lightest in the Royal Enfield lineup. Suspension is handled by a girder-style front setup with 100 mm travel and a rear monoshock with 110 mm travel.#royal_enfield #flying_flea_c6 #electric_motorcycle #royal_enfield_c6 #royal_enfield_flying_flea
