Flying Flea Expands To More Cities
Royal Enfield continued expanding the retail presence of its Flying Flea electric motorcycle brand, adding Hyderabad and Pune to its footprint. Availability remains limited to select cities, restricting its current sales reach.
Royal Enfield has not disclosed separate electric motorcycle volumes, instead including Flying Flea sales within its combined smaller-capacity motorcycle and EV category. Consequently, the monthly figures do not establish the electric brand’s individual contribution.
B. Govindarajan, Managing Director of Eicher Motors and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Enfield, highlighted demand across established models such as the Classic 350 (soon getting tubeless spoke wheels) and newer additions including the Himalayan 440. He also said the company was increasing production to meet demand during the remaining festive period.
April–October Sales Grow 17.53%
Royal Enfield’s cumulative sales for April–October FY2026–27 reached 8,42,538 units, up 17.53% from 7,16,854 units in the corresponding period last year. Domestic volumes increased 19.62% to 7,63,548 units, while exports grew 0.59% to 78,990 units.
The combined smaller-capacity motorcycle and EV category grew 21.06% to 7,51,128 units. Above-350cc motorcycle sales stood at 91,410 units, down 5.15% year-on-year, despite their stronger October performance. Royal Enfield is now preparing for Motoverse, alongside efforts to increase production and expand Flying Flea’s retail availability.
