Royal Enfield Unveils Second Electric Motorcycle ‘Flying Flea S6’

After unveiling the new scrambler-styled Flying Flea S6 at EICMA 2025, Royal Enfield unveiled the Flying Flea S6, the city+ electric motorcycle at Motoverse 2025. Combining a lightweight structure and refined design with off-road capability, the S6 is meant to be an agile, versatile vehicle designed for urban exploration.

This model is a scrambler, unlike the C6 that was introduced last year. Both bikes are designed primarily for city use but can handle light off-road conditions. Launch Timeline – While the C6 is expected to launch in Spring 2026, the S6 will hit the market in 2027.

Background

The Flying Flea name originates from Royal Enfield’s motorcycles supplied to the UK Army during World War II. These bikes were air-dropped using parachutes. Royal Enfield has retained similar design elements in the current model, resulting in a simple, compact appearance. The parachute logo references the original air-dropped motorcycles.

Features unveiled so far

The tyres are designed for mild off-road use. The S6 has high ground clearance, making it suitable for off-road riding.

The LFP battery pack is encased in magnesium fins, which reduce weight and improve heat dissipation.

The bike does not support fast charging. A charging port is located within the body panel, and the included cable plugs into a standard 15-amp power outlet. The charging rate is 1 km per minute, meaning a 100 km range requires approximately 1.5 hours to charge fully.

A TFT touchscreen console is positioned at the center, offering connectivity features.

The bike includes a lean-angle sensing system that automatically adjusts the ABS based on the cornering angle. This helps prevent wheel slip during hard leans. The ABS can also be manually turned off.

Speaking on the powertrain, Matt Cardenas – Head of EV Product Strategy, said, “We wanted to create the best experience for riders that we could, which meant that a lot of the technology had to be developed in-house. We own the entire design from the ground up. We recruited over 200 engineers just for this program to work on the powertrain systems, the connected systems. We have over 42 patents that the team has created. And we’ve picked some of the best partners in the world. We’ve worked with NXP and Snapdragon directly -We’re not going to make chips as an example, but we’re going to work with the best in the industry that makes chips today.”

The powertrain specifications are expected to be similar to the C6, though torque has been increased for improved off-road performance.
