The Flying Flea C6 is built on a forged aluminium frame, featuring a girder-style fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Its battery is encased in magnesium. Drawing heavy design cues from the historic motorcycles Royal Enfield developed during World War II, the C6 is styled as a low-slung bobber with a raked-out front end and girder forks at the front.From a design perspective, the Flying Flea C6 features a vintage look with a circular headlamp, teardrop-shaped faux fuel tank, and a single circular TFT display that supports Bluetooth connectivity. It features a solo seat as standard, with an option for a pillion seat.
On the tech front, it will offer features such as traction control and cornering ABS. Moreover, the electric motorcycle uses an in-house developed operating system, running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon QWM2290 processor. This allows for 4G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity, all managed through a round TFT instrument cluster. Besides that, it also gets built-in navigation and a dedicated Voice Assist button.Speaking of the Flying Flea S6, it is a scrambler-inspired electric motorcycle designed for off-road capability and is based on the same C6 platform. It will come with a flat seat, longer travel suspension, and dual-purpose tyres. Unlike the C6’s girder fork, the S6 will sport a USD fork setup. Its design will also include wire-spoke wheels, higher ground clearance, and a slim single seat.
