Royal Enfield has released a new Parachute White colour option for the first electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6.
The new shade gives the retro-inspired electric motorcycle a fresh and premium appearance, and adds a third colour option to the model.
The Parachute White colour joins the existing Flea Green and Storm Black options. The new paint scheme has been a cosmetic update; no changes have been made to the battery, electric motor, performance or equipment of the motorcycle.
New Parachute White Design
The new Parachute White colour gives the Flying Flea C6 a warm white finish over the main body panels. The lighter shade is contrasted by black elements around the battery casing, motor housing and wheels.
Royal Enfield has added blue accents to the new colourway. These highlights can be seen on the side panels, seat and handlebar grips, giving the motorcycle a distinctive appearance. The combination of white, black and blue makes the C6 look more contemporary, while retaining its unique retro-inspired design.
The Parachute White finish is likely to appeal to buyers who want a more premium and eye-catching alternative to the darker Storm Black version or the more unconventional Flea Green shade.
Despite its modern electric powertrain, the Flying Flea C6 carries several design elements inspired by Royal Enfield’s original Flying Flea motorcycle. These include a compact body, exposed structural elements and a distinctive front-end design. The new white colour highlights these details by creating a contrast between the painted bodywork and darker mechanical components.

No Mechanical Changes
The new colour option does not bring mechanical or technical changes to the table. The Flying Flea C6 continues to use the same electric powertrain and battery pack as the existing versions.
The motorcycle is powered by a 3.91 kWh battery and uses a 15.4 kW electric motor. It offers a claimed IDC range of up to 154 km on a single charge, and has a top speed of 115 kmph. These figures remain unchanged for the new Parachute White version.
The C6 is designed primarily for urban mobility. Its electric motor gives instant torque, which should make it suitable for quick acceleration in city traffic. The motorcycle’s compact dimensions and lightweight-focused design should also help with manoeuvrability in crowded urban environments.
The absence of mechanical changes means that the customers who choose the Parachute White edition will get the same performance and technology package as the existing colour options.
Premium Electric Motorcycle
The Flying Flea C6 is a premium electric motorcycle rather than a conventional commuter bike. Royal Enfield has focused on combining distinctive styling with modern electric technology and connected features.
The motorcycle features a round digital display, a unique front suspension design and an exposed structure that is different from most electric two-wheelers in India. Its design is meant to attract customers who want an electric motorcycle with a strong personality, rather than a conventional scooter-like appearance.
The C6 comes with advanced electronic features and smartphone connectivity. These features are meant to give access to vehicle information, riding data and convenience functions through a connected digital ecosystem.
The retro-modern design theme is a important part of the Flying Flea brand identity. While the motorcycle does not resemble Royal Enfield’s conventional petrol-powered models, it uses familiar design principles such as a simple silhouette, prominent circular elements and a strong focus on visual character.
Price and Availability
The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 is priced at Rs 2.79 lakh, ex-showroom Bengaluru. The new Parachute White colour is expected to come with the same price, although a separate price announcement for the new shade has not been reported.
Currently, the Flying Flea C6 is available through a limited sales network, with the motorcycle being offered through a dealership in Bengaluru. Royal Enfield is expected to grow its availability across a number of Indian cities as the Flying Flea brand develops its retail and service network.
The limited availability is to be expected as the Flying Flea C6 is Royal Enfield’s first electric motorcycle, and it requires dedicated support for battery systems, charging equipment and electric powertrain maintenance.
The company has started to expand the Flying Flea C6 into international markets. The motorcycle is available in Europe and the United Kingdom in the same three colour options: Flea Green, Storm Black and Parachute White.
Three Colour Options
With the launch of the new shade, the Flying Flea C6 is now available in three colour options:
Parachute White.
Flea Green.
Storm Black.
The Parachute White version gives the most contrasting design of the three. Its warm white body panels combine with black components and signature blue detailing. Flea Green gives a more unusual and youthful appearance, while Storm Black gives the motorcycle a darker and more understated look.
The addition of a new colour allows Royal Enfield to refresh the Flying Flea C6 without making major changes to the product. Special colour options can also help manufacturers to attract new buyers and generate additional interest for a newly launched model.
Competition and Market Position
The Flying Flea C6 enters India’s premium electric two-wheeler space, where buyers are increasingly looking for something beyond the traditional electric scooters. Its motorcycle format, long claimed range and distinctive styling give it a different identity from mainstream electric scooters.
However, the C6’s premium price means that it will appeal mainly to customers who value design, technology and brand experience. It is not a direct replacement for an affordable commuter motorcycle or scooter.
The new Parachute White colour could help Royal Enfield to expand the C6’s appeal. The light finish gives the motorcycle a more modern and lifestyle-oriented image, making it suitable for urban riders who want their vehicle to stand out.
For now, the main update to the Flying Flea C6 is limited to its appearance. The motorcycle continues with the same battery, motor, claimed range, top speed and feature list. With the introduction of Parachute White, Royal Enfield has given its first electric motorcycle a fresh identity while retaining the core product unchanged.
