Royal Enfield has added a new colour to the Flying Flea C6. Parachute White now joins Flea Green and Storm Black, giving you a total of three colour options for the electric motorcycle. The new shade has a warm white body with black detailing. Blue accents across the bike tie it to the other colours, giving the bike a classy and clean finish
Royal Enfield launched the Flying Flea C6 as its first electric motorcycle, under the new Flying Flea brand. It has a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery and gives 60 Nm of torque. Top speed is 115 kmph, and Royal Enfield claims a range of around 154 km on a full charge. At just 124 kg, the bike ranks among the lightest in the company’s current lineup. It uses a girder fork suspension, a nod to the original Flying Flea from the 1940s.

The name Flying Flea carries a lot of history. During World War II, Royal Enfield built the original Flying Flea for British paratroopers. Soldiers packed the bike into a steel cradle and dropped it by parachute behind enemy lines. Once it landed, they could pull it out and ride within minutes.
The bike is priced at ₹2,79,000 and is available for test rides; however, booking for the Parachute White variant hasn’t been announced yet.
