Flying Flea C6: Features
Royal Enfield has filled the motorcycle with a plethora of features specifically designed for urban riders.

Individual mode allows the user to adjust the traction control, ABS intervention, and throttle responsiveness.
Flying Flea C6: Design
In terms of appearance, the Flying Flea C6 has a distinctive and compact design. Inspired by the original Flying Flea, this electric motorcycle features an exposed frame, girder-type front suspension, a floating seat, and a detachable pillion seat.
