Design & Styling
The Flying Flea EV stays true to Royal Enfield’s design philosophy — simple, purposeful, and beautifully proportioned.
It carries a retro scrambler silhouette:
- Round LED headlamp with aluminum housing.
- Upright handlebars with wide grips
- Spoked 19-inch front & 18-inch rear wheels
- High-mounted fenders and exposed frame sections
The battery housing has been styled like an engine block — complete with a finned magnesium casing that aids cooling and gives a mechanical aesthetic. times.motormitra.in
A slim tail section, floating seat, and matte black battery belly emphasize the bike’s lightweight construction.
The color palette shown at EICMA included brushed silver, olive green, and heritage red — all paying tribute to the 1940s military edition. motor mitra
EV Powertrain & Technology
While Royal Enfield has not disclosed exact numbers, industry insiders suggest:
- Electric motor output: Equivalent to ~40–45 bhp
- Peak torque: ~90 Nm (instant electric punch)
- Battery: 7–8 kWh Lithium-ion pack
- Range: Around 150 km (claimed urban + mixed cycle)
- Charging: Fast-charge support (0–80% in 1.5 hours)
The finned magnesium casing acts as a natural heat sink, improving thermal efficiency.
A mid-mount motor drives the rear wheel via a belt system for smooth, silent performance. times.motormitra.in
This setup will make the Flying Flea EV ideal for city commuting, trail riding, and weekend exploration — much like the original scrambler spirit.
