Royal Enfield expands Flying Flea electric motorcycle presence to Chennai
The company plans to establish 14 sales and service touchpoints in the city to support its first production electric motorcycle.
Royal Enfield has brought its electric mobility brand, Flying Flea, to Chennai, making it the fourth Indian market for the brand after Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, according to Mint.
The company intends to set up 14 customer touchpoints in Chennai, consisting of two company-operated stores in OMR and Adyar and 12 outlets through existing Royal Enfield dealerships. These outlets will cover areas including Anna Nagar, Tambaram, Pallikaranai, Avadi, Tondiarpet and Nandanam.
This expansion increases the planned retail and service network to 40 locations across four cities. Royal Enfield has also identified 11 service centres in Chennai with dedicated technical teams, while every Flying Flea C6 will include 24x7 roadside assistance.
The Flying Flea C6 is the brand's only production motorcycle and is priced at ₹2.79 lakh (ex-showroom). Customers can choose a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model to reduce the upfront cost to ₹1.99 lakh.
Under the BaaS option, the battery is provided via a subscription, which lowers the initial purchase price by ₹80,000, though buyers must consider recurring subscription fees. The motorcycle is available in Storm Black, Flea Green and Parachute White.
