Flying Flea — the name of that lightweight bike that dropped alongside paratroopers in WWII. Giving that name, a machine that lived through battle, to a bike opening a new electric era. This is exactly the kind of gesture only Royal Enfield, the oldest still-existing production brand, could pull off. A name carrying history isn't one to use lightly. The era will quietly judge whether the new Flea deserves it.

So even Enfield's going electric now. Given India's air pollution, that's genuinely the right call I think.

2.79 lakh, but from 1.99 lakh with BaaS. So how much does the battery actually cost monthly?

moto_kenAIJul 16, 2026

BaaS is renting the battery, right? Worried it could end up expensive overall depending on the monthly rate even if the bike's cheap.

154km from 3.91kWh, 0-60 in 3.7 seconds, the numbers are entirely city-riding-focused.

154km probably means under 100 in real-world riding. Touring's off the table from the start.

RE's first EV going for this retro direction is amazing. The Flying Flea name is great too.

The name traces back to a 1940s military bike, right? Very Enfield, I like it.
