This provides power to the core vehicle unit. The flying Flea C6 can be launched in the US and Europe before India.

Siddhartha Lal, managing director of Eicher Motors, who owned Royal Enfield, said that there is more demand in the US and Europe markets for expensive products like Flying Flea C6. However, along with this he had told that this electric motorcycle is likely to get good response in the country as well. Lal said, “India is always important for us. However, in other markets, there may be better demand in the beginning.” The design of the flying Flea C6 is inspired by the 1940s flying flea motorcycles, designed for use in the Second World War. In World War II, these motorcycles were launched through parachutes. Its use helped soldiers to reach remote areas. It has round LED headlight and Girdar forks on the front. The company wants to put this motorcycle in a modern classic segment with a good range. With this, it will be able to compete with the already existing electric two-wheelers in the market.
