Flying Flea C6: Details
It is the brand’s most advanced motorcycle
The Flying Flea C6 is a retro-styled modern electric motorcycle powered by a 3.91kWh battery pack with a claimed IDC range of 154km. It uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor with peak outputs of 15.4kW and 60Nm. With its many modern features, including lean-sensitive ABS and traction control and five different ride modes, one of which is customisable, the Flying Flea C6 grabbed attention when it was launched. One of the major highlights is the girder fork made of aluminium, as is the compact battery pack with a magnesium casing. By opting for Battery as a Service (BaaS), customers can lower the upfront price to Rs 1.99 lakh from Rs 2.79 lakh. The C6 is offered in three colours: Flea Green, Storm Black and Parachute White.
The Chennai-based manufacturer has also launched the C6 in six European countries, including the UK. Chennai’s 14 locations span OMR, Adyar, Uthandi, Nandanam, Anna Nagar, Virugambakkam, Tambaram, Pallikaranai, Poonamalle, Tondiarpet, Jafferkhanpet, Avadi, Greams Road and Arumbakkam. There is also the upcoming Flying Flea S6, which shares its core components with the C6 but has a more scrambler-focused design and equipment.
