Ultraviolette CEO Narayan Subramaniam test rode Royal Enfield's first electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6. He praised it as "fun, well-balanced, and built with intent," congratulating Siddhartha Lal and others on the brand's entry into electric.
Looking at the data, the Flying Flea C6's lightweight design, 3.91kWh at 124kg, pays off. 20.6bhp, 60Nm, and 154km (IDC) of range is a realistic figure for primarily urban riding. A rival CEO test-riding and giving it praise is circumstantial proof of a certain level of technical completeness. India's electric bike market can be said to have taken a real step forward.

What's the background of Ultraviolette CEO Narayan Subramaniam?
He's the founder of an Indian electric motorcycle startup, one of the figures getting a lot of attention within the industry.
Would've liked more specific comments from the test ride on actual range and performance.
Ultraviolette and Royal Enfield, they're both major players in the Indian EV motorcycle market.
Celebrating is fine and all, but at the end of the day a real head-to-head battle in the market is still waiting.
Praise between rivals like this, might be worth keeping in mind there's probably some lip service mixed in.
Calling it fun, well-balanced, and built with intent, coming from someone who actually rode it that carries real weight.
A rival company's CEO test riding it and praising it, that's an episode that shows some real generosity within the industry.
