Motor And Performance
The Royal Enfield electric bike is more about feel than the spec sheet. On paper it might look a bit commuterish, but it is quite fun to ride with its effortless acceleration. For the conditions it is designed for, i.e., city commutes and stop-go traffic, it performs well. The FF C6’s mid-mounted electric motor produces 15.4kW of peak power and 60Nm of peak torque, which is quite adequate to zip past traffic. The top speed is capped at 115kmph, and the bike feels calm and settled, even at this speed.
The Flying Flea C6 has four riding modes: City, Rain, Highway and Sport, which modulate the bike’s throttle response and power delivery. There is also a custom setting that allows riders to tweak the riding experience as per personal preference.Â
When riding in Highway mode, the bike feels smooth and has linear power delivery, perfect for daily commuting. In Rain mode, the performance is toned down and will feel non-intimidating to newer riders while adding an extra safety layer while riding in slippery conditions. In Sport mode, the bike feels scarily fast, and you might be intimidated by its exciting acceleration.
Battery Specifications
The bike is powered by a 3.91kWh battery pack with a magnesium casing. It is mounted just below the fuel tank and feels well-balanced. The casing also has a finned design to dissipate heat better.
Claimed Vs Real-world Range
The claimed IDC (Indian Driving Conditions) range is 154km, but the real-world range will be 110-120km per charge. This also depends on the weather conditions, road conditions, and riding pattern. With this range, the bike is limited to the city limits, and longer trips may require itinerary planning for charge stops.
