Royal Enfield Sets Launch Timeline for Flying Flea C6 & S6 Electric Bikes
Royal Enfield is officially charging into the electric motorcycle scene with its first EVs: the Flying Flea C6 and Flying Flea S6. The legendary bike maker, known for its classic designs and rugged charm, announced the debut during its latest earnings call.
