Royal Enfield’s ‘Flying Flea’ brand kickstarts electric offensive

Royal Enfield has created a new electric vehicle brand to help it deliver urban-focused, battery-powered motorcycles – Flying Flea.

With its first models available to buy in spring 2026, Flying Flea will be launching initially with the C6 and scrambler-styled S6 with both being designed to help with urban mobility.

The first model to launch under the new Flying Flea banner will be the C6, which arrives incorporating a classic-style ‘girder’ fork which was used in many pre-1930s motorcycles. A lightweight aluminium frame is shaped around the magnesium battery case, while a special chip constantly monitors the bike and can alert if it is moved or disturbed.

“Flying Flea combines distinctive style, city-focussed practicality, and cutting-edge technology. This is the start of a fresh, sustainable ride for us, and offers the world an elegant, effective and sustainable everyday transportation.”

A twist-and-go powertrain aims to make the C6 as intuitive to ride as possible, but lean angle-sensitive ABS ensures that a safety net is in place too. Royal Enfield hasn’t given any details regarding the Flying Flea’s price or range, but has stated that it can be charged up at a domestic three-pin plug where it will accept ‘ample range to explore the city’.
