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.
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 claimed WMTC claimed range is 104km, with no changes to the specifications or features. The Flying Flea C6 gets a new LED headlight that's markedly better than RE's existing one, and the front indicators are integrated into the handlebar.
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). 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 being Flea Green and Storm Black. To begin with, the C6 will be available in five European cities: Paris, London, Berlin, Barcelona and Rome.
