About Flying Flea
The original Flying Flea was a tiny Royal Enfield two-stroke built during the Second World War, light enough to be dropped by parachute with airborne troops. Decades later the company dusted off the name for its first electric motorcycles, a clever bit of branding that ties the newest technology in the lineup to one of its oldest stories. Flying Flea has been set up as a separate sub-brand, with its own design language, stores and ambitions.
The first model, the Flying Flea C6, is a light urban electric motorcycle with retro-futurist styling, a girder-style front fork and a connected dashboard, built for short city trips rather than long highway hauls. A scrambler-style sibling has also been shown. Royal Enfield developed the platform largely in-house, and it represents a sharp departure for a company whose reputation rests on the sound of a long-stroke single. Supporters see it as a smart, design-led entry into electrics; skeptics wonder whether loyal Enfield buyers will follow.
The rollout has been gradual, city by city across India, with deliveries starting in Bengaluru and stores opening in other major cities before wider expansion and exports. The C6 faces electric rivals such as Ola's Roadster, Ultraviolette and the growing ranks of premium electric scooters, along with plain old gasoline commuters that cost less.
