Flying Flea C6: Details
It is the brand’s most advanced motorcycle
The Flying Flea C6 is 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. Along with many modern features, including lean-sensitive ABS and traction control, and five different ride modes, one of which is customizable, the Flying Flea C6 grabbed attention when it was launched. One of the major highlights of the motorcycle is the girder fork made out of aluminium along with the compact battery pack with 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. There are three colours on offer: 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. Now this retro-modern electric motorcycle can be checked out by interested customers in Chennai. There is also the upcoming Flying Flea S6, which shares its core components with the C6 but with more scrambler-focused design and equipment.
