I googled Flying Flea history... Amazing! never knew Thank you for that! I like how RE actually uses the motor cowling cover to resemble a single cylinder engine IMO really adds to the overall look of the bike. Great video! Ready for more..😊
❤️ So glad you enjoyed the Flying Flea history! It’s super cool how they designed it to look like a single cylinder engine-definitely gives it that vintage charm! 🏍️ Thanks for the love, and stay tuned for more fun! You rock! 🤘😊
Kinda reminds me of the Honda Solo . If you like electric bikes or not this is what we will all be rideing in a few years .No good crying about it .looking good Saffy 😄😋😚
My Ouija board says Philip Vincent approves the front fork. I bet he wishes he'd had access to that casting technology in 1950. It really does look a lot more like a mini-Vincent than an original FF.
Girder forks? There is a reason that they were replaced by telescopics 75 years ago. They're forged by the way, it would be difficult to keep the unsprung weight down with a casting.
Interesting design. 🤔 Of course the first thing I'd like to know is the range per charge, and how quick a recharge is. RE has been working on a prototype electric Himalayan, and you can't do proper ADV touring without decent range. So perhaps this little flea has benefited from lessons learned with the Himalayan development.
Electric bikes are usually heavier, the heaviness of the batteries is one of the reasons they're limited by range at the moment but you hardly notice the weight because the power and torque is so instantaneous
@ thanks! Was considering whether to try out an electric bike for zipping about town on errands and for fun on the local track! Glad this popped up on my radar.
Wow Saffy - lovely to see your smiling face 1st thing in the morning! The FF looks great and I'm whilst the guys at Maeving are probably most worried, I can see this succeeding where Livewire has so far failed. Small, light EBs make good sense - especially in urban areas - and it's going to be interesting to see how this bold, innovative design fares in the future.
Yes! They said they're going to focus on 300-700cc bikes, with the idea of it being a 'city-plus' bike. So you can ride it around cities, but also take small 1 hour kinda day trips outside of the city, he gave the example of Lake Como!
it looks very future orientated... whilst having a nod to the flying flea, this is just a first step... bigger and better bikes will undoubtedly follow... the duel sport version looks as good as this one... now they need to create a parachute type dust cover and respect to the former flea will be complete... may i suggest a GT250 Continental as inspiration for a faster and larger Electric machine... (it was a cafe racer)
@@SaffySprocket I'm really not into EVs but if I was ever in the market for one just for commuting around town, this would be right up there on my list.
Aesthetically it looks great doesn't it. The problem with electric bikes is that skinny, usually means a small battery pack aka small range. As a motorcyclist and also a designer it occurs to me that electric motorcycles need to be built around a larger capacity battery, rather than being built to look what we all see as a traditional motorcycle. Building a battery pack to the same size and scale of an internal combustion engine in the frame just doesn't leave enough space for a decent amount of batteries to give any kind of range. I would imagine this bike will have a range somewhere between 50 and 80 miles, and that will be on a summers day with a small rider.
I always think it's a shame that all the electric bike companies don't work together to create a standardised system where people could pull up somewhere and swap the battery out for a ready charged one
Gees from being stuck in the mud to the Milan bike show. Not sure how long the real life time difference is, but here on the channel it was a day or so.
I was in Spain for a month, came home and then flew out to Milan, I still have about 15 month Spain videos 😅 gets a bit confusing for you guys I'm sure! I just can't edit fast enough!
Flying Flea is not my choice, I Guess It is a CiyBike Design Saffy. I am just waiting for your (RE) presentation of E-Himalayan and maybe E-Srambler tomorrow. 😊 Hopefully low price and long range for Oslo-Nordkapp riders !
Totally get you on the Flying Flea! City bikes can be super fun, but I’m all about that adventure! 🌍 Unfortunately the E-Scrambler wasn't at the show, it's still in production! Fingers crossed for that low price and long range! 🤞✨ Keep riding!
Tank you for quick answer, continue the good work in Milano.I just saw your Bear 650 review. Hopefully you can charm RE Ceo to be their testdriver for E-bikes in Europe 🎉😊
Good evening saffy, you are looking very nice out of your bike gear, did I see you with a glass of alcohol 🍸 as I know you said you don't drink or just one of your energy drinks in a posh glass 😅, Have a lovely time in Milan and look after yourself, Best wishes Roy 😊.
I'm extremely pro-electric bike, but after slowly making the move to off-road, I've become a little nervous at the idea of electric instead I was stranded somewhere. However at the launch party, Royal Enfield made a really great point about electric bikes being more for cities and small day trips outside of the city (They called it City plus) so I think when the time comes, I'll be getting an electric but around the town and petrol for the sticks
There aren't a lot of specs for the bike yet, it's still in concept mode but they've described the bike as 'city plus' with the idea that you can ride around the city and take small day trips outside of the city too. They have the example of Milan to Lake Como as an example
I think the electric industry is slowly catching up on the range for the petrol bikes, I think range isn't so much of an issue anymore, the issue is charging times. Most bikers can only ride as long as their bladder can hold 😂 but then being sat around for an hour waiting for your bike to charge would be a pain
"lets have a closer look at it" followed by endless selfie shots and then weird close ups which give no idea of the overall appearance, size, weight etc. You revealed ZERO information on the bike.
I don't think so! I just think there is a massive lack of infrastructure at the moment. I think once we crack battery life and charging, then the industry will explode!\
I would be more impressed if they dropped it out of an aircraft without a parachute this time , probably made out of old melted down washing machines. 😁😎

Without a doubt the best looking electric bike I've seen so far, lets hope its range & performance match its looks in the real world.
Royal Enfield's strength has always been the look of their bikes. Every single one of them is beautiful! I've never found an RE bike that looks ugly!
@@SaffySprockethimalayan 411 ??
The sexiest electric motorcycle I’ve seen by far….
@@junglie
Have you seen the SAVIC ?
Maybe look a bit harder, that looks like an American kids bicycle from 70 years ago, retro 1953 Schwinn no less! Probably about as fast as well.
1st electric bike that I’ve paid any attention to. I like it’s futuristic and at the same time Classic look. Quite cool actually.
Basing it on a WW2 Paratroopers bike certainly provides a macho edge to an electric bike. Well done for making good use of RE history.
It's really cool isn't it?!
It’s nothing like the real Flying Flea!
It is rather cool though!
Holy cow, a little beauty. RE is really doing good stuff at the moment.
I think so too! They really stole the show before the show even started aha!
The very first electric vehicle that I would want to have. Gorgeous.
It looks wild doesn't it!
@@SaffySprocket well... I beg to differ. There was another wild cat in the room

Nice to see Royal Enfield reviving another old name. A quick Google shows that they revived the name in 2018 too, which I'd forgotten about.
I didn't know about that! I'll have to ask them about it!
Looks great, thanks Saffy, have fun 😊
It was a lot of fun! Getting ready for EICMA this morning now XD I'm so tired!
didnt think i would say it but i love it
🎉 Yasss! I love to hear that! It’s amazing how bikes can surprise us, right? 🏍️💖 What do you love most about it?
@SaffySprocket it's the whole look ,as a city or town bike it's perfect, interested in seeing the price and range x
Kinda reminds me of the Honda Solo . If you like electric bikes or not this is what we will all be rideing in a few years .No good crying about it .looking good Saffy 😄😋😚
Nice to see you so happy. Love Enfield's.❤
The best!
I love design again. I hope EV RE success.
I hope so too!

So perhaps this little flea has benefited from lessons learned with the Himalayan development.
They showed us the E-Himmy last night very briefly! It was insane how quiet it was!
Looks quite cool! I'd have one for the commute to the office!
Me too!
Is it lighter than a regular bike on account of not having an engine? I reckon the battery isnt as heavy. Wonder how it handles.

When can I buy one? Looks like a load of fun.
2026 launch in india
They had an E-Himalayan concept bike too! It was a little wild!
Saffy making it to the big time. ❤
:D Thank you!
Can't wait will be there Thursday
It's so big 😶 it's a little overwhelming
@SaffySprocket I'm there for 3 days so I'll take it nice and slow 😊 enjoy your time there 😊

I totally agree; it’s an exciting step forward with a nod to the Flying Flea.
Definitely interesting & quite the looker.
I think it's going to be very popular when it's released!
@@SaffySprocket I'm really not into EVs but if I was ever in the market for one just for commuting around town, this would be right up there on my list.
It looks interesting the girder front forks very compact but it's no Himalayan, have fun Saffy 😉
The girder forks look similar to the ones on the prototype 1000cc vtwin. And, you're right, it's no Himalayan!
They said they have a plan for scrambler EV and Himalayan EV as well. But I don't see them showing up in the market before 2026.

She says "it' weighs lighter than me". Ha ha 5:04
British humour 😀 I don't actually know how much it weighs
I think the maeving looks a lot better this looks more like a bicycle …I guess I’ll keep saving for the livewire
Totally get where you’re coming from! The Maeving does have that sleek vibe!

No price yet!
Look's sick.
It's ace isn't it!
Yo, are comments disappearing? all the comments are less than a day old. And the ones that we posted after the video was published are gone.
I don't think so, did you click view more :)?
@ oh no, I commented on the wrong channel, sorry 🫣🤭
Edit: I had multiple tabs open
More interested in their scrambler they're revealing today.
They revealed it last night too! It looks ace
@@SaffySprocket Did they suggest a price??

yes! ahah Oh man, I NEVER drink, I had too glasses of champagne and was like 'Uh oh, I'm wobbling' ahahahah
@SaffySprocket you little devil saffy 🤣,I very rarely drink myself and would of been the same.
I would be happy to go to work on it, but for all other motorcycling I'd stick to a petrol engine.

My comment is purely to balance out the opposing demands..
😂
Imagine a 350cc engine in that RE Flea c6 frame
It would be mad 😂
More bike,less giggles
Nah
How heavy, how far on a charge, how much? how long to charge the battery?

Mate , 10 minutes on that an me arse would be killing. Wtf
😂😂
This is homage design to the World War 1/2 Enfield bikes
I am looking forward to more electric motorcycle options but the flying flea just isn't my style.
That's fair enough! I'm sure they will be releasing more e-bikes in the upcoming years with different designs
Looks: fantastic. Range and top speed will however be lacking.

I don't think you appreciate how hard it was to get close to the bikes at the launch party ahaha but I'm at EICMA today to film more!
Maybe less of the giggly school girl act and more on the bikes.
@@MB-qk5it Miserable git.
@@MB-qk5it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would have been nice to know some details about the bike. I'm none the wiser having watched the video.
I'm back at EICMA to film again today properly :) this is just the launch party!
"lets have a closer look at it" followed by endless selfie shots and then weird close ups which give no idea of the overall appearance, size, weight etc.
You revealed ZERO information on the bike.
Saffron is spinning gears to show us new wheels.
Will the Flying Flea be an option or will annoy and need to be Swatted?
ahahahahah love it!
You scrub up well keep up the gd vids
Don't I just ahahah
Yea bike not got a lookin probably coz it's lecky lol
👌👌👍
:D
Unless they can produce a ev bike with a 200mile range you are limited to poodleing around a city. Sorry but to expensive and to little range
🌍 I hear ya! A 200-mile range would be a game changer for sure! 🚀 Let’s hope manufacturers step up their game soon
Saffron,
do l detect freshly washed hair , and, make up ?
Good to see.😊
That'll b gr8 fun there.
It makes a change from washing in a river ahahahaha!

@@SaffySprocket Gonna need nuclear fusion core batteries before they're viable. :)

I don't think so, I think we should tink of it as a separate industry like quad bikes
SaffySprocket@@SaffySprocketcan't even spell check.. Tink?
It’s the future dummy
Welp, Royal Enfield had a good run while it lasted.
why?
It's not like they are closing ICE production. This is a separate sub-brand. They will be operating independently.
It's technically a different brand to Royal Enfield :D
I would be more impressed if they dropped it out of an aircraft without a parachute this time , probably made out of old melted down washing machines. 😁😎
Honestly, having met the RE team, I could see them doing something wild like that! They're all so eccentric
@SaffySprocket that's what the original Royal Enfield flying flea was designed for but with a parachute 😁😎
Want to see the bike not the woman
