Will the Flying Flea S6's chain drive affect the electric riding experience differently than hub motors?
When choosing a chain drive for the Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 instead of a typical hub motor used in most electric motorcycles, we have some interesting questions about how this may affect the riding experience. Traditional motorcycle riders will be familiar with chain drives, which give some advantages in terms of power delivery and efficiency. But hub motors also need more maintenance. Using a chain drive in an electric motorcycle application could impact power delivery, range, noise, and the overall riding feel. For riders moving out from combustion engines, it may offer a more 'traditional' motorcycle experience. But it could add in complexities that hub motors don't. The discussion also covers the effects this design decision has on the bike’s performance characteristics, maintenance requirements, and its attractiveness to varied bike segments.
The chain drive is a smart move I think. Traditional riders will find it'll make the S6 feel more like a "real" bike. And you can easily switch gearing for different riding styles.
