Royal Enfield's Flying Flea sub-brand marks the manufacturer's first electric motorcycles in 125 years - and the timing couldn't be more deliberate. With petrol costs rising and millions of riders in India depending on two wheels for daily life, the Flying Flea lineup offers a direct answer. The C6, a retro-styled electric roadster launched in India on April 10, 2026, at Rs 2.79 lakh (or Rs 1.99 lakh via Battery-as-a-Service), brings 154 km of range, 60 Nm of torque, and a 124 kg kerb weight - the lightest Royal Enfield ever built. Its scrambler sibling, the S6, is expected to follow by late 2026, with off-road-ready spoked wheels, six riding modes including a dedicated dirt mode, and the same Qualcomm-powered connected tech platform. Two bikes, two riding personalities, one clear shift away from the pump.

Walking home from the shops today I noticed something shimmering in the corner of my eyeball. And like a bowerbird to a Fosters bottle cap (for those of you that are not familiar with Fosters, it's an Australian beer exported …I'm not exactly sure what it is but I found a neat spot for it on the bike.
