However, the full purchase price including the battery is ₹2.79 lakh (ex-showroom).
Performance & Powertrain
The Flying Flea C6 is equipped with a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that is protected by a magnesium case that is very light and has integrated cooling fins.

Design: Retro Roots, Modern Soul
The Flying Flea C6 is a modern interpretation of the WWII Royal Enfield WD/RE lightweight motorcycle, a vehicle that was parachuted into war zones for troop mobilisation. It is the forged aluminium girder-style front fork that truly sets the bike apart, this design having been drawn from motorcycles of the 1930s and 1940s. Initially, the C6 will be sold in two colours: Storm Black and Flea Green.
