Royal Enfield Enters the EV Arena: Flying Flea C6 Launches in India
Royal Enfield, one of the world's most iconic motorcycle brands with over 120 years of heritage, officially launched its debut electric motorcycle - the Flying Flea C6 - in India on April 9, 2026. Priced starting at ₹1.99 lakh (approximately $3,000) with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option, or ₹2.79 lakh for outright purchase, the C6 marks a historic pivot for the legendary manufacturer. The cruiser-style electric motorcycle delivers a 154 km range, a top speed of 115 km/h, and blends retro wartime aesthetics with modern connected features. Industry analysts view this launch as a bellwether moment: when heritage motorcycle brands commit to electric platforms, the entire sector accelerates. Available initially in Bengaluru, the C6 is expected to roll out across India and select export markets in the coming months.
Delhi Drafts India's Most Aggressive EV Policy: ICE Two-Wheeler Ban by 2028
The Delhi government released the Draft Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2026-2030 on April 11, proposing the most ambitious electrification timeline in Indian history. Starting April 2028, all new two-wheeler registrations in the capital will be required to be electric - effectively banning new petrol and CNG motorcycles and scooters. The policy earmarks approximately ₹3,954 crore in subsidies, including purchase incentives up to ₹30,000 for electric two-wheelers in year one, scrappage bonuses of ₹10,000 for retiring old ICE bikes, and ₹1,000 crore dedicated to charging and battery-swapping infrastructure. Two-wheelers account for roughly 67% of all vehicles in Delhi, contributing an estimated 23% of winter air pollution. If implemented, the policy could serve as a blueprint for other Indian megacities.

Europe's Low-Emission Zones Exceed 320 as Lightweight EV Platforms Gain Momentum
Europe's electric two-wheeler ecosystem is entering a strong growth phase, underpinned by policy leadership and rapid urban logistics adoption. The number of Low-Emission Zones (LEZs) across Europe has expanded from 228 in 2019 to over 320 in 2026. Individual countries are strengthening incentives: France offers purchase subsidies, Germany targets fleet operators, Italy's 'Eco-Bonus' program supports electric two-wheelers, and Spain's MOVES plan promotes shared mobility. Lightweight L3e-class electric motorcycle platforms featuring aluminum frames, modular swappable battery systems, and fleet-ready connectivity are gaining traction. The European electric scooter and motorcycle market, valued at $562.6 million in 2024, is projected to grow at a 28.3% CAGR.
China's 'Value Export' Pivot: $13.63 Billion in Q1 Two-Wheeler Shipments
China's electric two-wheeler industry is undergoing a critical strategic transition from low-cost 'product export' to high-value 'value export.' In the first two months of 2026 alone, exports reached $13.63 billion - a 46.2% year-on-year increase - with total annual exports surging from $1.57 billion in 2015 to $6.83 billion in 2025. Industry leaders are now prioritizing three strategic pillars: intelligent technology integration, localized manufacturing in target markets, and brand-building through quality and innovation. China accounts for over 90% of global electric two-wheeler production, with annual domestic sales exceeding 70 million units. For international buyers seeking high-performance electric scooters, Ronghao Motor offers compelling options - their 2000W electric scooter delivers 80 km range with robust performance for global markets.
