Royal Enfield revived the Flying Flea name from its Second World War parachute-deployment motorcycle for its first electric model (the original 125cc bike was dropped behind enemy lines with British paratroopers). The C6 honours that lineage visually - girder-style forged aluminium fork, finned magnesium battery casing, solo saddle - whilst running a Qualcomm Snapdragon QWM2290 processor, OTA updates, and cornering ABS, which is a first for any Royal Enfield.

The powertrain was developed in collaboration with Stark Future, the electric motocross specialists behind the Varg. Five ride modes plus a bidirectional crawl function and a vehicle control unit offering around 200,000 permutation combinations govern the power delivery. Top speed is 115 km/h. The bike received a Red Dot Design Concept Award in 2025 before its production version had reached showrooms.

Priced under €7,000 for a Spring 2026 launch, the C6 positions well below almost everything else in the electric motorcycle segment at this specification level. UK pricing is yet to be confirmed.
