Royal Enfield’s EV brand, Flying Flea, has revealed more tech details of their upcoming C6 electric motorcycle. The retro-style EV was showcased at the 2024 EICMA in Italy with the production model likely to be launched by the end of 2025.
The Flying Flea C6 uses a Snapdragon QWM2290 processor with RE’s operating system that control the bike’s features, connectivity as well as performance. All of it includes a digital key that allows riders to unlock and start without a physical fob. We can also expect Royal Enfield to offer a traditional key as well. Adding to that, the C6 is customisable on the go with five ride modes that modulate the throttle response, regenerative braking, traction control, lean sensitive ABS and power delivery. It comes with four presets with a fifth custom setup.
As for connectivity, the Qualcomm-powered ‘Car-to-Cloud’ system that enables remote interaction via smartphone, smartwatch or voice control with Bluetooth, 4G and WiFi. These features allows riders to monitor the C6’s bike status, security and preferences via an app. Royal Enfield have also built the security with encrypted connections, real-time location tracking along with tamper alerts. Moreover it also comes with over-the-air updates so the C6 can receive software tweaks without the need to visit the dealer.
With the Flying Flea C6 likely to be launched at the 2025 EICMA, it will compete with the BMW CE 02. We can expect it to be introduced in New Zealand by 2026.
