Intro

Royal Enfield Flying Flea has outlined plans for a Paris flagship revealed during Paris Design Week, aligning with the brand’s upcoming EV rollout. – here’s why it matters: a physical hub in a global design capital validates the premium positioning and gets retail ready for product launches. The flagship will open in 2026, coinciding with the Flying Flea C6’s early 2026 timeline and the EV strategy.

Paris move: signal, not slogan

Announced during Design Week, the Paris store will be Flying Flea’s first global flagship, a brand anchor for experience, retail and community in a city that sets the tone for mobility and fashion trends. Placing the first hub in Paris sets the design tone and gives the EV sub-brand an international launchpad before market entry.

EV roadmap: timelines and takeaways

While Royal Enfield has announced an ‘early 2026’ launch window for its first production EV, the Flying Flea C6, some industry sources suggest this aligns with the Q4 FY26 timeline (January–March 2026). Initial reports and speculation place the C6 in the premium urban segment, with an estimated ex-showroom price of around ₹4.5 lakh. The flagship’s 2026 opening syncs with this timeline, so you have a touchpoint as interest builds up to the early-2026 product launch.

What to expect from C6 and S6

While full specs are under wraps, previews and briefings suggest modern rider aids like traction control and cornering ABS, circular TFT with Bluetooth, forged aluminum chassis with girder-style fork. While full specs are still under wraps, initial reports point to a practical urban range exceeding 100 km, with some outlets speculating a maximum range of up to 250 km. A tech-forward cockpit with a circular TFT display and rider aids are expected to make daily commuting seamless and reduce range anxiety. A scrambler sibling, the Flying Flea S6, will follow the C6, with a more adventurous stance and likely same battery and electronics.

Design lens: heritage meets new energy

The brand is drawing on Royal Enfield’s Flying Flea heritage – lightweight, purpose-built mobility – reimagined for the electric era and showcased at Design Week activations. This blends heritage cues with modern materials and interfaces, an EV identity that looks classic at a glance but behaves modern on the move.
