Royal Enfield has finally revealed key specifications of its upcoming electric roadster, the Flying Flea C6, while it will be launched on April 10, 2026. This e-bike focuses on style, simplicity, a rather tech-laden riding experience.

The Flying Flea C6 is powered by a 3.91kWh lithium-ion battery pack paired with a 15.4kW (peak power) electric motor, producing 60Nm of peak torque. Royal Enfield claims an IDC range of 154km, which should make it practical enough for everyday city commutes. The e-bike can be charged from 20% to 80% in 60 minutes, with a configurable charging rate of 500W to 2200W. It can accelerate from 0 to 60kmph in a claimed 3.7 seconds, while the claimed top speed is 115kmph. The power delivery is expected to be linear, making the bike approachable and easy to ride in urban conditions. It also gets 5 riding modes (City, Rain, Highway, Sport and Custom), allowing riders to tweak performance based on their needs.

The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 gets a 3.5-inch round, TFT touchscreen console, which shows all the important information like speed, battery percentage, trip data and more. It also supports smartphone connectivity, with Google Maps-based navigation, SMS/call alerts, music control, voice assist, ride data, and a torque band indicator.
For safety, the Flying Flea also gets dual-channel ABS, with an option of turning the rear ABS off completely, and three levels of traction control. Both of these safety aids are lean-sensitive. The electric bike also gets convenience features like remote lock/unlock, hill-hold assist, a USB-C charger (27W) and a wireless phone charger (15W). Royal Enfield has also integrated a bidirectional crawl mode into the Flying Flea C6, which could make it quite convenient while moving the bike in a parking lot or slow traffic.

The Flying Flea C6 uses a lightweight frame, along with old-school girder fork and a conventional monoshock. The bike weighs 124kg (kerb), which is quite light. It has 19-inch alloy wheels with road spec tyres from Ceat, 90/90-19 both front and rear. There is a 260mm front and a 220mm rear disc brake setup.

Design is where the Flying Flea C6 truly stands out. The bike carries a strong neo-retro identity, inspired by Royal Enfield’s legacy motorcycles. It features a round LED headlight, slim bodywork, and a minimalistic silhouette, giving it a timeless appeal. The use of a girder-style front suspension adds to its old-school charm, while the compact proportions and elegant stance make it look like a proper modern classic. Unlike most electric two-wheelers that lean towards futuristic styling, the Flying Flea C6 keeps things authentic and understated, which is likely to attract lifestyle-oriented buyers.
With the Flying Flea C6, Royal Enfield is taking a unique approach to electrification. Instead of chasing outright performance, the brand is focusing on character and design. Now with most of the specifications revealed, the brand is much closer to entering the world of EVs with its retro-styled electric roadster, and it does so while staying true to what Royal Enfield stands for. It will be priced at around Rs 3,00,000 (ex-showroom, Chennai), and will compete with electric bikes like the Ola Roadster X, Oben Rorr, and Revolt RV400.
