Royal Enfield Flying Fea S6 Scrambler – What to expect?
In the recent close-up spy shots, the upcoming Flying Flea S6 Scrambler electric motorcycle has been spotted in a hotel’s parking lot in Leh. The upcoming S6 Scrambler is based on the Flying Flea C6, but it features a different design and hardware changes.
A close look at the photos of the heavily camouflaged test bike reveals that it will get the tube-type spoke wheels and all-terrain knobby tyres. Additionally, it gets a different split seat design, along with a side number board for a proper scrambler look.
Meanwhile, the rear hugger on the S6 test mule is considerably smaller than the C6 sibling bike. Another interesting detail is the addition of USD front forks and a monoshock rear suspension, which will probably offer a longer travel than the C6.
In terms of features, it gets the round TFT instrument pod, which seems to be carried over from the Himalayan 450. The switchgear is different from the other Royal Enfield models, as it offers multimedia buttons for on-the-go operations.
Speaking of the centre-mounted electric battery and motor, the S6 is likely to be a city-centric offering, and most probably it will offer a maximum range of up to 100 km.
The Flying Flea C6 is scheduled to debut in February 2026, but the S6 Scrambler will mark its debut around the end of 2026. Presumably, the S6 Scrambler will be Rs 30,000 or more pricier than the Flying Flea C6.
Our verdict
The Flying Flea electric motorcycle models are going to become the pivot models in the brand’s future electric lineup. The S6 Scrambler, while being based on the C6, will offer a fun-to-drive setup with light off-road capabilities for weekend rides.
