Royal Enfield have filed patent for Flying Flea S6 in India
After debuting both Flying Flea C6 and S6 at the EICMA in Milan, Royal Enfield have patented the design of their Flying Flea S6 scramble in India, with the brand likely close to bringing their first electric motorcycles to the domestic market.
New Delhi: Royal Enfield have patented the design of their Flying Flea S6 scramble in India. This marks the brand’s second electric model under the Flying Flea sub-brand, following the C6 roadster, which is scheduled to launch in the coming year. Both Flying Flea C6 and S6 made their debut at EICMA in Milan and share the same platform, though each has been tailored for different purposes.
The C6 is more road-focused riding, while the S6 is designed as the more off-roading, adventure-ready option. It comes with a 19-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel, both with spoked rims and dual-purpose rubber. The suspension setup is also made for off-roading purposes, with a long-travel USD front fork that replaces the C6’s much more distinctive girder-style arrangement.
The other highlights in the design elements include a long, enduro-style seat instead of the C6’s solo saddle, along with a finned magnesium battery casing. The technical details are still absent, Royal Enfield had previously confirmed that the S6 will come with an off-road riding mode, switchable dual-channel ABS, lean-angle sensitive ABS and traction control.
The Fly Flea C6 is expected to launch next year, and though there are no given dates, the S6 is likely to follow later in the year. Royal Enfield are also believed to be targeting international markets with their electric motorcycle at first, but both models are coming to India. The filing of the S6 design patent in India clearly suggests that the brand is closely planning to bring their first electric motorcycles to the domestic market.
