Combining lightweight structure and refined design with off-road ability, the FF.S6 is an agile, versatile vehicle that pushes the boundaries of urban exploration.

Inspired by history and designed for the future, Flying Flea launched its first product – the elegantly-styled FF.C6 – at EICMA 2024.

The FF.S6 is deeply rooted in this DNA of lightness, agility, and adaptability.

The FF.S6 is a significant and natural addition to the Flying Flea portfolio – a perfect blend of historic authenticity and modern capability, engineered for the urban environment and beyond. It is a road-ready and trail-ready evolution of the brand, offering riders the freedom and flexibility required to navigate varied urban scapes.

The FF.S6 is a lightweight city+ explorer built for those who crave adventure, whether navigating unexplored city corners, nearby trails, or fun backroads. The motorcycle lends the perfect balance between agility and confidence across diverse terrain. Its scrambler capability is supported by a USD front fork, a chain final drive, and a staggered wheel setup (19-inch front, 18-inch rear). The ride and handling experience is elevated by a high-torque EV motor and a long, comfortable enduro-style seat.

 

Marking a major milestone in the company’s 123+ years of history, Royal Enfield proudly enters the EV space by announcing the launch of its completely new electric vehicle brand, Flying Flea. The expression of Royal Enfield’s commitment to keep moving forever forward, this new brand of electric vehicles continues a legacy of innovation and builds a unique, and exciting range of urban and city+ motorcycles for the global electric motorcycle marketplace and beyond.

This new Flying Flea brand takes inspiration from the original Royal Enfield Flying Flea motorcycle of the 1940s, a landmark in automotive engineering and design. Though it was purpose-built for use during WWII when these amazing machines were airdropped via parachute to provide lightweight, easy-to-use all-terrain mobility, it was later embraced by civilians too for city exploration purposes. This lightness, agility and adaptability returns with the Flying Flea brand and its upcoming range of electric vehicles.

Live lightly. Feel Free.

Inspired by the original, a landmark in form and function, we’ve reimagined the Flying Flea for those who don’t want to be tied down. Those who are ready to strap on a parachute and leap into life– with no fuss and no fumes.

SPIRITED. AGILE. APPROACHABLE.

Spirited, Agile, Approachable. Spirited, Agile, Approachable. Though the world has changed, the desire to move with ease and confidence has not. We choose to flow with the city, not against it. The Flying Flea connects you to your destination and your riding style without disconnecting you from your surroundings.

ROYAL ENFIELD CELEBRATES 125 YEARS OF PURE MOTORCYCLING AT EICMA 2025 WITH AN EXCITING NEW LINEUP THAT BLENDS TRADITION AND INNOVATION.

Royal Enfield, the world’s oldest motorcycle brand in continuous production, is marking another monumental milestone in its storied journey as it celebrates 125 years of Pure Motorcycling. The brand’s EICMA showcase commemorates this landmark occasion by offering experts and enthusiasts a glimpse into its historical journey – and connecting this legendary past with its dynamic present and ambitious future.

Since 1901, Royal Enfield has created, nurtured and shaped motorcycling culture across the world – from Chennai to London, from Amazonian trails to the high passes of the Himalayas.

At EICMA in Milan – followed by Motoverse in Goa – Royal Enfield will officially kick off a year-long calendar of commemorative activities, signalling the beginning of a pivotal new chapter for the company.

Speaking at EICMA, Siddhartha Lal, Executive Chairman, Eicher Motors Ltd., said, “For 125 years, Royal Enfield has stood as an enduring symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and the pure joy of motorcycling. What began as a simple pursuit of building honest, beautiful motorcycles has evolved into a global culture that celebrates exploration, community, and self-expression. This incredible milestone is not just about looking back on our legacy, but looking ahead with clarity and conviction. At EICMA this year, we’re showcasing the full spectrum of what Royal Enfield stands for, from timeless design and intuitive engineering to bold, future-facing innovations that redefine what’s possible in motorcycling. The Electric Himalayan Testbed and Flying Flea city+ concept embody this evolution, blending our heritage with bold ideas for what lies ahead. As we look to the next 125 years, our mission remains the same, to build motorcycles with soul and make Pure Motorcycling accessible to riding enthusiasts around the world.”
Bringing this story alive at EICMA, Royal Enfield unveiled a slew of new motorcycles, offered a peek into some soon-to-be-launched models and platforms, and showcased special edition variants of some community favourites.

Adding, B. Govindarajan, Managing Director – Eicher Motors Ltd., and Chief Executive Officer – Royal Enfield, said, “EICMA 2025 is as much a celebration of our 125-year heritage as it is a showcase of our evolution. The motorcycles unveiled here represent our commitment to timeless design, purposeful innovation, and the spirit of Pure Motorcycling. We are honoring our heritage by unveiling the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Special Edition, a seamless blend of legacy and modern innovation. Simultaneously, we strengthen our core segments with the purpose-built Himalayan Mana Black Edition and the Bullet 650, which breathes new life into an icon that has defined generations. Solidifying our electric future, we are expanding the Flying Flea portfolio with the FF.S6, preparing for a launch in 2026. Looking forward, we will keep propagating the Royal Enfield DNA, offering riders around the world a blend of authenticity, innovation, and Pure Motorcycling.”

As befits a brand steeped in tradition, the lineup of new launches is helmed by the majestic new Royal Enfield Bullet 650. The Bullet has long been the heartbeat of the brand, prized as an heirloom by generations of riders and enthusiasts. Over the past nine decades, the company has refined the pedigree of the world’s oldest motorcycle in continuous production, and in 2025, it finds its most powerful expression yet: the Bullet 650, the epitome of old school cool.

Also unveiled at the event was a special edition of the Royal Enfield Classic 650, reimagined to commemorate 125 years of Royal Enfield. This special edition blends the timeless silhouette of the Classic with a strikingly modern aesthetic, representing the Royal Enfield’s ethos of balancing tradition and innovation.

Showcasing a new version of its celebrated adventure motorcycle, Royal Enfield introduced the Himalayan Mana Black edition. Inspired by the formidable Mana Pass route, the Mana Black edition accentuates the rugged, spartan character of the Himalayan.

Royal Enfield also debuted a one-of-a-kind collaboration with Shotgun x Rough Crafts inspired by its OG custom-built motorcycle. This limited edition motorcycle is a unique fusion of Royal Enfield’s modern neo-retro design philosophy and Rough Crafts’ unmistakable signature aesthetic, celebrating the spirit of individuality, craftsmanship and creativity that defines the custom motorcycle culture.

Also making its debut at EICMA is Flying Flea’s new Scrambler-styled motorcycle – the FF.S6. Built for urban exploration, the FF.S6. sets new benchmarks of sophistication, versatility and agility in the global EV space.

It is a road-ready and trail-ready evolution of the brand, offering riders the freedom and flexibility required to navigate varied urban scapes.

DESIGN WITH PURPOSE

The FF.S6 is a lightweight city+ explorer built for those who crave adventure, whether navigating unexplored city corners, nearby trails, or fun backroads. The motorcycle lends the perfect balance between agility and confidence across diverse terrain. Its scrambler capability is supported by a USD front fork, a chain final drive, and a staggered wheel setup (19-inch front, 18-inch rear). The ride and handling experience is elevated by a high-torque EV motor and a long, comfortable enduro-style seat.

The finned magnesium battery case, providing optimal weight saving and cooling, is a key embodiment of the Flying Flea ethos, seamlessly merging tradition and innovation. The dynamic front fins symbolize forward-thinking technology, while the elegant rear fins represent heritage. The elements converge into a central wing-shaped motif, a sleek and distinctive representation of the brand’s spirit.

Completing the design is the true round touchscreen cluster that pays tribute to the original Flying Flea, while integrating modern digital innovation. This high-resolution display blends classic aesthetics with advanced functionality, offering intuitive, connected features.

TRAILBLAZING TECHNOLOGY

Flying Flea is reimagining electric mobility through groundbreaking innovations at the Flying Flea Tech Center, across India and the UK – from advanced motor and battery management systems to seamless connectivity solutions.

The FF.S6 is equipped with a suite of advanced riding tech, like integrated navigation, a dedicated off-road mode, and lean-angle sensing ABS that is fully defeatable by turning off the dual-channel system, traction control, and more.

The seamless integration of hardware and software is powered by an in-house OS and a UI/UX built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon QWM2290 processor. Specifically designed for two-wheelers, this high-performance chipset enables 4G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing real-time vehicle management through the interactive true round TFT cluster. For enhanced convenience and safety, the motorcycle is equipped with a Voice Assist button. Accessible via the rider’s phone while riding, this feature enables simple voice commands to initiate navigation, play music, and more.

Flying Flea’s sophisticated control systems are further enhanced by NXP’s cutting-edge microcontrollers, which ensure high-speed data processing, secure communication, and intelligent energy management. This integration optimizes performance and efficiency, dynamically adjusting to the rider’s needs. Built to evolve around the rider, the FF.S6 features an in-house developed Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), which seamlessly integrates thousands of ride mode combinations and dynamically adapts performance for a secure, intelligent, and connected ride.

The FF.S6 enables multi-modal connectivity, allowing riders to interact with the motorcycle via a smartwatch and a connected app. This provides full remote management of key features, including keyless ride, ride modes, charging status, and vehicle diagnostics. Crucially, the platform comes pre-loaded with a suite of apps and supports over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensuring the FF.S6 remains perpetually at the forefront of technology.
The FF.S6 is slated to launch towards the end of 2026.

 

Speaking about what Royal Enfield brings to the Flying Flea and to electric mobility, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director, Eicher Motors Ltd., said: “Ever since the wheels began turning in 1901, Royal Enfield has been an ally for exploration and pure motorcycling experiences for millions of riders.

For more than 123 years now, as Royal Enfield has evolved with time, emerged through challenges and grown to be a global motorcycling brand, our mission of pure motorcycling has been preserved and nurtured, and has become our true-north. Today, as we get ready to script a new chapter for Royal Enfield, this mission has been the driving force and inspiration, and is the link between Royal Enfield and the Flying Flea, our new brand for super fun, gorgeous and enjoyable urban-plus mobility. This is a significant step in our evolution as a brand and an opportunity for us to distil the essence of Royal Enfield DNA combined with all the great benefits of EV technology and bring something absolutely delightful and differentiated to the world of city-plus mobility.”

Announcing the creation of the brand and showcasing of its first two models at the global launch event in Milan ahead of EICMA, B Govindarajan, CEO of Royal Enfield added: “It is an especially exciting moment for us, as we present the new Flying Flea brand at EICMA. This represents a completely new chapter for Royal Enfield, inspired by our legacy, driven by our vision for the future and an outcome of REBALANCE, our approach to business. Flying Flea combines distinctive style, city-focussed practicality, and cutting-edge technology. This is the start of a fresh, sustainable ride for us, and offers the world an elegant, effective and sustainable everyday transportation.”

He further added: “We’ve been deeply investing in R&D and infrastructure for EV over the last many years, and have built a world-class team including 200+ engineers in India and the UK. We have also initiated the development of an EV manufacturing plant in Chennai, India. We have invested in Barcelona-based Stark Future known for its advanced off-road electric motorcycles. All aspects of our connected electric motorcycles, including product strategy and development, technical components like motor, battery, BMS, custom software, and our retail and market strategy have been developed in-house by our dedicated technical and commercial teams.”

Speaking specifically about the brand launch and models unveiled at the launch event, Mario Alvisi, Chief Growth Officer of Electric Vehicles for Royal Enfield said: “Flying Flea is not just a new division but a completely fresh start in every respect; when we say this is a city+ platform, this is to say Flying Flea allows riders to break free to and from the city with a truly moving and visceral riding experience. This is much more than a new brand from Royal Enfield – this is a whole new approach from the brand. We have worked tirelessly to assemble a world-class team and culture, invested in a
groundbreaking infrastructure, class-leading technology and have formed both the brand and products from a blank sheet of paper. With no carryover, no crossover and no cutting of corners the end result is products unlike any other in the market. These products not only offer a sophisticated mix between authentic design and cutting-edge technology, but are purpose-built for a whole new space. Flying Flea is for those who will not accept compromises in design and functionality, who seek technology that heightens their experiences and value ease of operation, ownership and, above all, enjoyment.”

The first model under Flying Flea to hit the road next year will be the FF-C6. Taking inspiration from the original Flying Flea model, this is a modern interpretation with a sophisticated, distinct aesthetic coupled with class-leading technology. This will be the first motorcycle to bring to life the core pillars of the Flying Flea brand:

● Authentic retro-futuristic style – The authentic and unmistakable design is highlighted by the first-of-its-kind contemporary reimagining of the original Flying Flea front suspension, featuring a forged aluminium Girder fork and articulating mudguard. This fork style was synonymous with
pre-1930s motorcycles, and the original Flying Flea notably elevated this style with an elegant ‘rubber band’ style girder fork. This focal point of an already distinctive design is not only carried forward with the new Flying Flea but reinvented and completely modernised, a ground-up redesign
of which results in a unique riding experience only available on the FF-C6.

The flowing forged aluminium frame provides a lightweight yet strong structure with a timeless silhouette, while the magnesium battery case utilises organic design language for optimal weight saving and cooling. The design theme of the battery fins is emblematic of the Flying Flea’s ethos, fusing tradition and technology. The dynamic front fins, arranged in odd sequences, represent innovation and modern technology while the elegant rear fins, placed in even sequences, embody tradition and legacy. Both clusters of fins twist and turn, eventually merging seamlessly into a graceful wing-shaped motif at the centre. A true round touchscreen cluster maintains classic lines alongside high-tech functionality.

● Cutting Edge Technology- Cutting-edge connected features utilise a myriad of native technologies for a seamless experience both on and off the bike – 28 patents have been filed in the last six months alone, with further advancements coming by the day. Bespoke software, developed in-house constantly monitors and optimises riding experience, from improving mileage to creating a captivating riding feel. To leverage the full capabilities of the FF-C6 we have developed a central Vehicle Control Unit, which integrates all the physical and digital touch points, powered by a tailor-made chip made specifically for FF. This VCU enables over 200,000 different ride mode combinations, constantly monitors your bike when you are away to alert if it is disturbed or moved, and is always up to date with Over The Air updates and feature additions. The ride modes allow the user to tailor their experience not just for economy or comfort but for sheer enjoyment through nuanced adjustments to throttle, brake and regen feel – allowing your bike to change as your mood, your roads and your needs do. The phone as a key technology allows you to simply jump on and ride away.

● Accessible and Exciting Riding Experience – Effortless twist-and-go visceral acceleration creates an intoxicating mix of pace and fun with lean angle sensing ABS, alongside efficient and capable highway cruising with cruise control. Easy and fast charging at a domestic 3-pin plug coupled with ample range to explore your city. Easy handling paired with lightweight components result in an infinitely usable, uncomplicated and encouraging ride regardless of your ability.

With these underlying core pillars Flying Flea will allow riders to move within and around the city in a sustainable way, connecting both with technology and your surroundings. This is the beginning of a new breed of electric mobility for those who choose to travel with style, with purpose and for fun as well as necessity.
