Royal Enfield has filed the design patent for its upcoming Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 electric motorcycle in India, signalling steady progress toward the brand’s second electric two-wheeler for the domestic market. The filing indicates that the production-ready design of the Flying Flea S6 is now legally protected, a key step ahead of its expected launch by the end of 2026.
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 will sit alongside the Flying Flea C6 in Royal Enfield’s electric portfolio and is positioned as a scrambler-style motorcycle aimed at both road and light off-road use. The S6 shares the same L platform as the C6 but adopts a more rugged design and hardware setup to support all-terrain riding.

First Public Appearance and Design Direction
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 made its first public appearance in India at Motoverse 2025 in Goa, where Royal Enfield showcased its electric vision for the future. The design patent images closely mirror the motorcycle displayed at the event, suggesting that the overall styling is nearing finalisation.
Key visual elements include a minimalist scrambler silhouette, an enduro-style seat, and a finned magnesium battery casing. The motorcycle rides on a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheel setup, paired with dual-purpose tyres, reinforcing its positioning as a trail-capable electric motorcycle.
Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Chassis, Suspension, & Riding Hardware
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 has been developed at Royal Enfield’s Flying Flea Tech Centre across India and the UK. The motorcycle is equipped with upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock suspension, a setup designed to handle uneven terrain while maintaining on-road stability.
Braking and safety features are expected to be comprehensive. Royal Enfield has confirmed the presence of lean-angle-sensitive ABS, switchable dual-channel ABS, traction control, and a dedicated off-road riding mode. These features place the S6 among the more technologically advanced electric motorcycles planned for the Indian market.
Connected Tech and Rider Assistance
One of the highlights of the Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 is its strong focus on connectivity. The electric motorcycle features a round touchscreen TFT instrument cluster, a deliberate nod to the original Flying Flea motorcycles from the 1930s. The display is supported by an in-house operating system and UI/UX built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon QWM2290 processor, enabling 4G, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Royal Enfield has confirmed features such as integrated navigation, cruise control, voice assist, keyless ride, over-the-air updates, ride modes, charging status display, and vehicle diagnostics. The system allows seamless interaction between the motorcycle, a connected smartphone app, and even a smartwatch.
Powertrain Expectations and Performance
While Royal Enfield has not disclosed battery capacity or motor output figures, the company has stated that the Flying Flea S6 will use a high-torque electric motor managed by an in-house developed Vehicle Control Unit. The performance is expected to be comparable to a 350cc internal combustion engine motorcycle.
Reports suggest that the electric scrambler could offer a real-world range exceeding 200 km on a single charge and will support fast-charging, making it practical for both urban use and weekend rides.
What This Means for Indian Riders
The design patent filing confirms that Royal Enfield is moving beyond concept showcases and toward production readiness for the Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6. For Indian riders, the S6 represents a potential entry point into electric motorcycling without abandoning the brand’s traditional emphasis on versatility and character.
More details on pricing, specifications, and launch timelines are expected as Royal Enfield advances development closer to its planned 2026 introduction.
