Royal Enfield has once again teased its first electric motorcycle, which will make its public debut on November 4, 2024, at the EICMA 2024 show in Milan. Yet another teaser on social media shows the shadow of a motorcycle cast on the buildings of a city, as it is being paradropped. The second such teaser follows the first one which also showed the image of a motorcycle being parachuted down from the sky.

The concept behind a motorcycle being dropped by parachute is something which isn’t entirely new. During World War II, Royal Enfield developed the Flying Flea, a lightweight, two-stroke, 125 cc motorcycle designed to be dropped by parachute along with airborne troops behind enemy lines. As is evident from the latest series of teasers, showing a silhouette of the bike being parachuted down, Royal Enfield’s first electric motorcycle could be a lightweight model, and could borrow the “Flying Flea” moniker from the original model from the 1940s.

Patent images have also given an indication of the design of the first Royal Enfield electric motorcycle, as have spy shots of the finished motorcycle. Like the original Flying Flea, the upcoming electric Royal Enfield motorcycle features a slim and compact structure and seems to be engineered predominantly for solo riding, although there are pillion footpegs visible in the spy image. It seems that Royal Enfield has opted for lightweight materials like aluminium alloys for the construction of the chassis and other cycle parts to keep the weight in check.
