Royal Enfield is set to launch its first electric motorcycle in the Indian market, the Flying Flea C6, on April 10. This will mark an important step in the brand's move into the EV space.

According to the reported figures, the motorcycle can accelerate from 0 to 60 kmph in 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 115 kmph.

In terms of design, the Flying Flea C6 follows a distinctive, compact approach. Inspired by the original Flying Flea, the electric motorcycle features an exposed frame, girder-type front suspension, a floating seat and a removable pillion seat. These details give it a different character from Royal Enfield's regular petrol motorcycles.

The battery pack will be housed in an aluminium case designed to improve the aerodynamics and cooling of the motorcycle. It also contributes to giving the machine a distinctive look. With all of this, the bike has a weight of 124 kg, making it the lightest motorcycle to come from RE.
