Are you excited to see what Royal Enfield’s future electric bikes look like? If yes, the brand-new Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Electric Bike might just be the model you’ve been waiting for. It has finally been unveiled in India, giving us a clear first look at what Royal Enfield is planning for its next chapter in the EV world.
In this blog, you’ll discover what the Flying Flea S6 offers, its key highlights, and why it matters for city riders who also love light off-roading. You’ll get a simple, clear breakdown of everything that has been revealed so far — without confusion, jargon, or technical overload.
And here’s my promise: by the end of this introduction, you’ll know exactly why the Flying Flea S6 is one of the most interesting electric scramblers of 2025 and what you can expect from Royal Enfield as it steps deeper into the electric era.
What the S6 aims to be: city+ scrambler positioning
The Flying Flea S6 Electric Bike is not trying to be a super-fast sportbike or a full-on adventure machine. Instead, it aims for a sweet spot many riders want: a comfy city commuter that can also take you onto farm tracks or weekend dirt rides.
At the show, Flying Flea called it a “city+” motorcycle. That means it’s primarily for commuting and short trips, but it also offers:
- Longer suspension travel for rough surfaces
- Wide handlebars and tall ergonomics for better control
- Simple storage in a faux fuel-tank area for small items or a phone
I like this approach because many riders want one bike that can do both chores and light fun. Royal Enfield is clearly targeting urban riders who also value weekend escapes.
Design and chassis: scrambler looks with practical touches
From the photos and the display unit at EICMA, you can see the S6 wears classic scrambler proportions. Some standout points:
- Wheel sizes: 19-inch front and 18-inch rear — good for mixed surfaces.
- Suspension: Long-travel setup with an upside-down (USD) front fork for better front-end feel.
- Final drive: Chain drive, which is favoured for easy service and off-road use.
- Battery casing: A finned magnesium case — meant to cut weight and help cooling while nodding to Flying Flea heritage.
The S6 also uses a small storage slot where the fuel tank would be. You can slip in a phone or a small map. For city riders this is a neat, practical touch.
Tech, connectivity and rider aids
The S6 feels modern. Here are the tech highlights Flying Flea showed:
- Circular touchscreen instrument cluster with integrated navigation.
- Runs a proprietary OS on a Qualcomm Snapdragon QWM2290 processor with 4G, Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi.
- Real-time vehicle monitoring and OTA software updates to add features over time.
- Rider aids like off-road mode, switchable dual-channel ABS, traction control and lean-angle sensing braking.
Those safety aids are important. For example, the switchable ABS lets you turn off rear ABS for controlled slides on light trails. That’s a useful feature if you want to try low-speed off-road maneuvers safely.
Powertrain, range and availability — what we still don’t know
This is where I’ll be clear: Royal Enfield did not publish confirmed motor output, battery capacity or official range at the reveal. Media reports note that technical figures remain to be released during testing and localisation.
We do have some clues and early estimates:
- One media readout suggested a speculative range class similar to the Flying Flea C6 — roughly 100–130 km. Take this as an early guess, not a fact.
- Flying Flea says the S6 will reach markets toward the end of 2026 after testing and localisation.
I expect Royal Enfield to publish detailed specs during the final testing phase over the next year. Until then, we should treat range and power figures as pending.
Key highlights table

| Range & price | No official figures; media estimate ~100–130 km (speculative) |
| Expected markets / timing | Global intent; expected by end of 2026 after tests and localisation |
How the S6 could fit the market
I think the S6 is aimed at riders who want simplicity plus versatility. For example:
- If you commute 20–30 km each way and want a quiet, emission-free ride, the S6 could handle daily trips and city traffic.
- If you like weekend dirt paths or farm tracks, the 19/18 wheels and longer suspension give you confidence on rougher routes.
- For riders moving from a petrol Royal Enfield, the S6 keeps the scrambler feel while adding modern tech like navigation and OTA updates.
One real-world comparison: the earlier Flying Flea C6 was discussed in the media as a short-range urban E-bike. If the S6’s range lands in the 100–130 km bucket, it will match many urban riders’ needs and add light-roading ability.
Final Thoughts
To sum up, the Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Electric Bike is a promising city+ scrambler. At EICMA 2025 we saw a smart blend of classic scrambler styling, useful off-road geometry, practical touches like a small tank storage area, and modern tech led by a Qualcomm QWM2290-powered cluster with OTA updates.
However, the most important details — motor output, battery capacity and certified range — are still pending. Flying Flea plans testing and localisation through the next year, with an expected market rollout toward the end of 2026. Until Royal Enfield publishes official specs, range and price remain speculative.
If you want, I can do one of two things for you next:
- Monitor official Royal Enfield / Flying Flea press releases and alert you when specs, range, price or India/Europe launch dates are published.
- Pull a side-by-side comparison of the S6 versus the earlier Flying Flea C6 (based on known C6 specs) to show likely differences and what to expect.
Which would you prefer? I’m happy to track releases or build a detailed comparison for you.
