Intro

Royal Enfield’s Flying Flea C6 has been clocking city runs and cold‑weather trials in India, offering the clearest glimpse yet at the brand’s debut electric and its expected 2026 rollout. Here’s why it matters: this is Royal Enfield’s entry into accessible urban EVs without losing the brand’s charm.

Design takeaways from new spy shots

C6 sticks to a slim, classic stance with an aluminium frame, magnesium battery casing and split-seat layout seen on test mules. Girder-style front suspension and circular LED headlamp reinforces the retro brief while hinting at lightweight, urban agility.
Spotted in city runs and high-altitude Ladakh tests, the bike seems to prioritise cooling and weight reduction – both targets for an EV meant for daily use.

What the tech reveals

Circular TFT with Bluetooth connectivity is visible, aligning with RE’s push for connected ride data and app pairing. More importantly, C6 is set to get traction control and cornering ABS – firsts for a Royal Enfield – highlighting safety as a key selling point.
Charging via a household plug is expected, which means low-friction ownership for urban riders. Cruise control has been listed as a feature on preview pages.

Performance and range expectations

Official specs are under wraps, but multiple reports suggest urban focus with performance roughly equivalent to a 125-150cc petrol motorcycle, and a real-world range expected to be around 100 to 120 km on a single charge. That’s weight and agility over long distance touring – exactly where this package will excel.
While numbers are unconfirmed, early reports suggest a lightweight design, with a targeted kerb weight of around 100-110 kg. which would be a big deal for stability and ease of use in traffic.

Price, launch window and market fit

Flying Flea C6 is slated for 2026 launch in India and will be the entry point for RE’s new EV sub-brand. Expect pricing to be between premium ICE commuters and mid-segment EVs, with segment first safety tech as the hook.
Rivals are scattered for now but the proposition – retro design, urban range and rider aids – could carve out a nice niche against style led electrics and midsize petrol bikes.

Closing note

If RE hits the weight, safety tech and everyday range targets, the Flying Flea C6 will be tough to resist for city riders who want classic looks with modern EV convenience.
