HAPPY NEW YEAR

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.

I would probably describe this bike as a **Strambler**! def: Cross between a Street Tracker and Scrambler, the seat and rear has somewhat of a Scrambler feel with the side plates, tyres and bars giving it more of a Tracker …Found this Triumph over on and was initially drawn to the matt black tank with the gloss triumph logo, along with the kind of suede leather seat. Also like the mag wheels and the chromed side covers and the 2 into 1 exhaust setup.
