Flying Flea C6 delivery details
A hub service centre in BTM Layout will handle specialised support
The brand has set up a hub service centre in BTM Layout that will manage more specialised service requirements, while a network of smaller centres spread across Bengaluru will handle regular servicing and maintenance. Flying Flea is also leveraging Royal Enfield's existing dealer network, operating in a shop-in-shop format within current Royal Enfield showrooms and service centres to maximise reach without having to build out an entirely separate physical footprint. As an owner of a C6, you'll also have access to 24x7 roadside assistance.
The C6 was launched earlier this year at Rs 2.79 lakh (ex-showroom) when purchased outright, or Rs 1.99 lakh under Flying Flea's Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) programme, which separates the cost of the battery from that of the vehicle.
The C6 is powered by a 3.91kWh battery pack with a claimed IDC range of 154km, paired with a permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 15.4kW and 60Nm. Flying Flea claims a 0-60kph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 115kph. At 124kg, it's a notably light and slim motorcycle, built around large 19-inch wheels with narrow 90-section tyres. Features include a 3.5-inch circular colour TFT display, adjustable regenerative braking, five riding modes, lean-sensitive traction control and dual-channel ABS.
Flying Flea is following a city-by-city rollout strategy, with Bengaluru as its first market. The brand has indicated it will progressively expand to other major metro cities as part of a phased, measured approach.
