Royal Enfield is all set to enter the electric motorcycle segment with the launch of its maiden EV models, the Flying Flea C6 and S6. In its earnings call earlier today, the company announced that the C6 will debut in the fourth quarter of the financial year 2026, spanning from January to March 2026. The S6 is slated to follow soon after, although a specific timeline for its arrival is yet to be confirmed.
Besides this, the manufacturer also announced a significant 10% year-on-year growth for FY 2024-25, selling 1,002,893 units, marking the first time it has crossed the one million sales mark in a single fiscal year.
Flying Flea C6, S6: All you need to know
The Flying Flea C6 is built on a forged aluminium frame, featuring a girder-style fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Its battery is encased in magnesium. Drawing heavy design cues from the historic motorcycles Royal Enfield developed during World War II, the C6 is styled as a low-slung bobber with a raked-out front end and girder forks at the front.
From a design perspective, the Flying Flea C6 features a vintage look with a circular headlamp, teardrop-shaped faux fuel tank, and a single circular TFT display that supports Bluetooth connectivity. It features a solo seat as standard, with an option for a pillion seat.
On the tech front, it will offer features such as traction control and cornering ABS. Moreover, the electric motorcycle uses an in-house developed operating system, running on Qualcomm's Snapdragon QWM2290 processor. This allows for 4G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity, all managed through a round TFT instrument cluster. Besides that, it also gets built-in navigation and a dedicated Voice Assist button.
Speaking of the Flying Flea S6, it is a scrambler-inspired electric motorcycle designed for off-road capability and is based on the same C6 platform. It will come with a flat seat, longer travel suspension, and dual-purpose tyres. Unlike the C6's girder fork, the S6 will sport a USD fork setup. Its design will also include wire-spoke wheels, higher ground clearance, and a slim single seat.
