As Royal Enfield has introduced an electric scrambler, the Flying Flea S6, there has been discussion about how it will stack up to traditional ICE scramblers on the roads. We know electric motorcycles for their instant torque and their smooth power delivery, but there are limitations: range anxiety and longer refueling (charging) times. The S6’s performance characteristics are being debated by riders, from what they’ll do in the city and on the weekend trails. Key points of comparison include acceleration, top speed, range and the bike behavior in different terrains. The effect of weight distribution, caused by the battery location, on handling and off road capability is also being explored. Motorcycle enthusiasts are speculating as to whether the S6's ability to match or exceed the all-round performance of ICE scramblers is actually possible.
