Flying Flea C6 First Ride: Royal Enfield’s Big EV Gamble | autoX

Royal Enfield has taken a bold step into the electric era with the Flying Flea C6 — but instead of playing it safe, it has gone in a completely different direction. This isn’t your typical Royal Enfield. It’s lighter, more compact, packed with tech, and built around a “city plus” philosophy that prioritises accessibility over outright presence. From girder forks and a highly integrated electronic architecture to a touchscreen TFT with navigation and OTA updates, the C6 feels like a serious rethink of what an RE can be. But does that translate into a better riding experience? Kingshuk heads to Chennai to get a first taste of Royal Enfield’s first modern electric motorcycle — evaluating its design, features, performance, and real-world usability. There’s promise here, but also some clear compromises. And with rivals like the Ultraviolette F77 already raising the bar for electric performance motorcycles, the question is simple — where does the Flying Flea C6 really stand? _________________________________________________________________ Also Read: Flying Flea C6 First Ride Review - https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-re... _________________________________________________________________ Presenter: Kingshuk Dutta Cinematographer: Sunil Chauhan Editor: Sumit Kumar _________________________________________________________________ FOLLOW US: Instagram:   / autoxmag   Twitter:   / autox   Facebook:   / autox   LinkedIn:   / autox   Website: https://www.autox.com/ _________________________________________________________________ #RoyalEnfield #FlyingFleaC6 #ElectricMotorcycle #autoX #FirstRide #BikeReview 00:00 Introduction 00:35 Design & First Impressions 01:55 Ergonomics & Accessibility 02:47 Features & Technology 04:04 Battery, Performance & Charging 05:07 Ride & Performance 05:40 Ride Quality & Suspension 06:25 Handling & Agility 07:07 Expected Price & Rivals 07:29 Verdict 08:36 Up Next
