Royal Enfield has officially commenced customer deliveries of the Flying Flea C6 in Bengaluru, marking a historic milestone as the legendary mid-weight manufacturer officially enters the electric vehicle sector. Alongside the initial vehicle rollouts, the brand has deployed a dedicated, urban-centric support and retail ecosystem within the city to streamline EV ownership from day one.
Strategic Retail & Service Infrastructure
To support early adopters in Bengaluru, Royal Enfield is rolling out a hybrid retail and service model that balances new, specialized facilities with its vast existing network:
-
Dedicated Hub & Spoke Service: A specialized hub service center has been inaugurated in BTM Layout to handle advanced electrical maintenance and complex battery repairs. Routine, day-to-day servicing will be managed by smaller satellite service points scattered across the city.
-
Shop-in-Shop Retail: Instead of building standalone showrooms, the Flying Flea brand is integrating into existing Royal Enfield dealerships using a “shop-in-shop” configuration, allowing rapid scaling.
-
Continuous Support: Owners are backed by a mandatory 24×7 roadside assistance program tailored for battery-electric operation.
Flexible Ownership: Two Ways to Buy
The Flying Flea C6 introduces a flexible purchasing model to counter the traditionally high upfront cost of electric two-wheelers:
-
Outright Purchase: Retails at a starting price of ₹2.79 Lakh (ex-showroom), covering both the chassis and the powertrain.
-
Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS): Lowers the initial acquisition cost to ₹1.99 Lakh. Under this plan, the motorcycle is purchased shell-first, while the battery unit is billed separately via a recurring subscription framework.
Powertrain, Range, and Performance Specs
The C6 features a distinct retro-futuristic bobber silhouette, defined by its lightweight 124 kg curb weight and unique girder-style front suspension architecture. It balances vintage design language with purpose-built urban performance:
| Technical Parameter | Specification & Performance Metrics |
| Battery Pack Capacity | 3.91 kWh lithium-ion pack |
| Claimed Range (IDC) | 154 km on a single charge |
| Motor Configuration | Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) |
| Peak Power / Torque | 15.4 kW (~20.6 hp) / 60 Nm |
| Acceleration (0-60 kmph) | 3.7 seconds |
| Maximum Top Speed | 115 kmph |
To optimize agility through tight city traffic, the motorcycle rides on large 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in narrow, rolling-resistance-optimized 90-section tires.
Electronics & Rider Safety Suites
Despite its minimalistic aesthetic, the Flying Flea C6 features a comprehensive suite of modern rider aids:
-
The Display: A centrally mounted, circular 3.5-inch color TFT instrument console featuring smartphone connectivity.
-
Rider Customization: Five distinct riding modes coupled with adjustable regenerative braking levels to tune energy recovery.
-
Safety Net: Lean-sensitive traction control alongside a standard dual-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
