Flying Flea, the electric vehicle brand of Royal Enfield, made its first showcase in Mumbai. The company brought its soon-to-be-launched first product the FF.C6 electric motorcycle to give a glimpse on what Royal Enfield aims to bring to the Indian and global market.

The FF.C6 the company shared is inspired and honours the original Flying Flea motorcycle, which were used in 1940s and were popularised during World War 2. The front suspension features a precision-engineered forged aluminium girder fork and articulating mudguard. The girder fork, a distinctive element of early motorcycle design, has been reimagined with updated materials and engineering, providing strength, durability and refined handling. At present, FF.C6 is the only motorcycle available with girder fork, distinguishing it through a combination of heritage and innovation.

A core element of the Flying Flea ethos is the design of the battery fins, merging tradition and technology. The front fins, arranged in odd sequences, represent progress, while the rear fins, placed in even sequences, reflect heritage. These two elements converge into a wing-shaped motif at the centre, symbolising the brand’s identity.

Royal Enfield shared that the research and development was done at the Flying Flea Tech Centre, which employs over 200 engineers across India and the UK, filing more than 40 patent applications. It covers motor and battery management systems as well as connectivity solutions. At the core of the FF.C6 ride experience is an in-house operating system powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon QWM2290 processor.

The company shared that the FF.C6 is designed to adapt to the rider, wherein the integrated hardware and software-led developments will continue to enhance the city-plus mobility experience. The in-house Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) manages multiple ride mode configurations, dynamically adjusting performance parameters to ensure a secure, intelligent and connected experience.
