Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 uses a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery paired with an air-cooled setup and a magnesium alloy casing

Royal Enfield has stepped into the electric space with the Flying Flea C6 and the brand’s dedicated showroom for the EV range will be inaugurated in a couple of days alongside the price announcement. The lightweight motorcycle takes inspiration from the original Flying Flea and thus, it focusses on offering simplicity and usability.

At the heart of action in the RE Flying Flea C6 is a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery pack paired with an air-cooled setup and a magnesium alloy casing. The system runs at a nominal voltage of 101.9V. Power comes from a permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 15.4 kW (20.65 hp) and 60 Nm of torque – delivered through a belt drive system.

The motor is integrated with the control unit to keep things compact and clean. The zero-emission model can hit a top speed of 115 kmph and accelerates from 0 to 60 kmph in just 3.7 seconds. The claimed IDC range stands at 154 km which should be adequate for daily commuting needs. Charging is relatively quick too – a full 0 to 100 per cent charge takes about 2 hours and 16 minutes while 20 to 80 per cent can be done in 65 minutes under standard conditions.

Up front, the distinctively looking motorcycle uses a girder linkage suspension with a hydraulic twin setup coupled with a rear monoshock featuring an internal floating piston. Wheel travel stands at 100 mm at the front and 110 mm at the rear. The Flying Flea rides on 19-inch tubeless tyres at both ends ensuring a unique stance compared to typical small EVs.

Braking duties are handled by a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc – supported by dual-channel ABS with three sensitivity levels and switchable rear ABS. It also gets lean-angle sensitive ABS and traction control which is still rare in this segment. Additional rider aids include a tip-over alert system and a location-sharing feature.

In terms of dimensions, the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 measures 2,089 mm in length, 831 mm in width and 1,122 mm in height. It has a seat height of 823 mm and a ground clearance of 207 mm. The kerb weight is just 124 kg – making it one of the lighter electric motorcycles around while carrying capacity is rated at 160 kg.

Other highlights are a 3.5-inch colour TFT display with touch input, a USB-C charger and even wireless phone charging. The inclusion of an electronic handlebar lock enables additional security. Since the concept was conceived, the arrival of the C6 has long been anticipated as it will give rise to more variants down the line including a scrambler.

Volkswagen Reveals New Taigun As Production Begins, Launch On 9 April

GaadiWaadi -

Sharper, more tech-laden, and more fuel-efficient new VW Taigun to be formally revealed and detailed on 9 April

Just days after releasing the first teaser of the new Taigun, Volkswagen has revealed its exterior. The company has started its production at its Chakan plant and shared images of the first units rolling off the assembly line. As we earlier reported, the new VW Taigun heavily draws on the VW Tharu XR manufactured by the SAIC-Volkswagen joint venture in China. This connection is mainly evident at the front, which has been designed to look cleaner and more assertive.

The facelifted Taigun features sleeker headlamps, a noticeably slimmer upper grille with two light bands positioned along the same height as the DRLs, and a much larger body-coloured bumper surface below these elements. The brand logo carries backlighting to make the front even bolder, while the lower grille has a simpler design.

On the sides, there are new 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in MRF Wanderer tyres. The rear-end is different from the Tharu XR, featuring tail lamps in a boxy shape similar to the old model, albeit with new graphics.

The GT variant features special features such as red GT logos, black 17-inch alloy wheels, black side mirrors, and red brake callipers. Volkswagen may also offer a GT-Line variant with similar styling bits. The Chrome variant can be recognised from two full-width horizontal slats in the lower front fascia and new 17-inch alloy wheels featuring a silver finish.

Inside, Volkswagen has redesigned the dashboard to incorporate vertical AC vents on the sides and a floating 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This dashboard is reminiscent of the VW Tharu, a larger (C-segment) SUV from SAIC-Volkswagen. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a new rear seat with a massage function, a panoramic sunroof, and upgraded AC with a variable-geometry compressor should also be among the interior changes.

Volkswagen will likely launch the new Taigun with the carried-over 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine linked to the old 6-speed manual transmission or a new 8-speed automatic transmission, and the carried-over 1.5-litre TSI Evo petrol engine paired with the old 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. The new 8-speed automatic transmission should be more efficient, leading to a higher fuel economy of around 19 km/l.
