When Royal Enfield first showed off the Flying Flea C6 EV concept at EICMA a couple of years ago, it was admittedly kind of jaw-dropping for two reasons. The first is, of course, the mere visual appeal of its design. There is, quite simply, nothing else that looks like this bike.
The second part is, rather understandably, an eyebrow raise at a company that so firmly leans into its history, suddenly making a sharp turn toward an electric platform. If that plotline sounds familiar, that's probably because it is. But unlike the tale of Harley and LiveWire, the introductory goal here doesn't appear to be a high-end machine that few can afford.
Instead, it's meant to lean into another strength of the modern, Eicher-owned iteration of Royal Enfield: Offering cheeky, appealing design and solid construction at prices that a great deal more regular people can afford.
