India got the first glimpse of what Royal Enfield’s approach to an EV would look like with the Flying Flea C6. Launched in April this year, the C6 is inspired by the WWII-era Flying Flea only in the way it looks, but gained many brand-first features like traction control, customisable riding modes, lean-sensitive ABS, among other things. Now, it’s Europe and the UK’s turn because the C6 is heading there next.

  1. Flying Flea is Royal Enfield’s EV brand and C6 the first product
  2. C6 has a claimed 154km range in India; 104km in Europe

Flying Flea C6 heads to five cities in Europe

Indian availability remains limited to Bengaluru

Just to jog your memory, Flying Flea is Royal Enfield’s EV brand and the C6 was their first launch. The brand’s website continues to list the scrambler-looking S6 that’s based on the same platform, but the launch timeline on that is still unknown. The motorcycle is powered by a PMS Motor with a peak power of 15.4kW and a 3.91kWh battery; the claimed IDC range for India is 154km. For Europe and the UK, the WMTC claimed range is claimed to be 104km with no changes to the specifications or features. It remains to be seen whether there’s a difference in real-world range, or if the difference is solely due to the two markets using different testing standards.

To commemorate the launch, Royal Enfield has introduced a new Parachute White colour that’s also available in India at the same Rs 2.79 lakh price (ex-showroom, Bengaluru). Speaking of which, in Europe the C6 will set you back by EUR 5,990 (Rs 6.58 lakh) and in the UK, the asking price is GBP 5,300 (Rs 6.78 lakh) for all three colours; the other two colours being Flea Green and Storm Black. To begin with, the C6 will be available in a total of five cities: Paris, London, Berlin, Barcelona, and Rome; deliveries expected to begin in October. In India, the C6 is still only available for purchase in Bengaluru.

The addition of the sunroof will definitely set the Maruti apart in the segment, though whether the new Swift will also receive it is yet unknown.

In top-spec form, the Dzire is likely to be the best equipped model in its class thanks to the sunroof...

Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
