Royal Enfield’ s Flying Flea brand announces second electric motorcycle

At EICMA 2024, Royal Enfield bursted into the electric motorcycle segment when it launched its new sub-brand, the Flying Flea. The first model in its range, the FF-C6, is a World War II-styled bike that’ s reminiscent of motorcycles from that era. This year, during the EICMA show in Milan, the brand announced its second model, a scramblerstyled Flying Flea S6.
“ Solidifying our electric future, we are expanding the Flying Flea portfolio with the FF-S6, preparing for a launch in 2026,” says B. Govindarajan, managing director of Eicher Motors and CEO of Royal Enfield.“ Looking forward, we will keep propagating the Royal Enfield DNA, offering riders
around the world a blend of authenticity, innovation, and pure motorcycling.”
The S6 will have an enduro-style seat, 19−inch front and 18−inch rear wheels, a chain final drive, a dedicated off-road ride mode, and lean-sensitive ABS and traction control. It comes with a round touchscreen cluster with smartphone connectivity and over-theair updates, as well as a voice assist button to control navigation, music, and more.
Flying Flea says the battery case will be finned magnesium, but no other technical details were provided. Details on battery capacity, range, charging levels and times, motor specifications, and pricing were not shared. However, a Forbes article reported that

Royal Enfield has stated the Flying Flea lineup will feature a motor sourced from collaborator Stark Future, for which Royal Enfield’ s parent company took a 10 % stake two years ago as the project progressed.

Beachman reveals’ 64 Street Spec electric cafe racer

Canadian electric motorcycle manufacturer Beachman has unveiled its latest model— the’ 64 Street Spec, a vintage-styled electric café racer aimed squarely at riders who want classic looks with modern, low-maintenance electric performance.
The Toronto-based company says the Street Spec is the brand’ s first electric model to incorporate a true cafe-racerstyle front windscreen fairing, paired with street tires and’ 60s-inspired bodywork. The release builds on the success of Beachman’ s Scrambler Spec, which channeled 1970s off-road culture and became the company’ s best-selling model to date. Beachman co-founder Benji Harrison said the new platform fills the opposite niche from the Scrambler:“ The Street Spec complements our Scrambler perfectly— this one is optimized for urban riding. An all-new body and tire setup totally changes the look of the bike, leveling up the class and style for our most discerning customers.”
The light motorcycle Street Spec version bumps the top speed to 50 mph for riders needing true city-commuter capability. Under the retro bodywork sits a removable 2.8 kWh battery offering up to 55 miles of range, with an optional 3.6 kWh pack boosting range to 70 miles.
Charge to 80 % in 90 minutes with the fastcharge upgrade. Regenerative braking and integrated charge ports come standard. Personalize the Street Spec with optional upgrades, including hand-stitched leather seats, hand-applied pinstriping($ 550), and bespoke paint($ 1,000).
Beachman continues to lean into its philosophy of simplicity— no apps, no complex displays, just a minimalist riding experience wrapped in mid-century style.
The’ 64 Street Spec is available now, starting at $ 5,750, with additional performance and customization packages offered through Beachman dealers.
