Used Buyer Review

The Flying Flea C6 is genuinely charming in a way that sneaks up on you. The e-paper instrument cluster and retro WWII-inspired styling aren't just gimmicks — they give the bike a real personality that modern nakeds completely lack. Suspension is soft but forgiving, and the parallel twin pulls smoothly from low revs, making city traffic genuinely enjoyable rather than a chore. It's a proper urban companion. Buying used, check the battery health obsessively — these electric systems can degrade faster than owners admit, especially if the bike sat unused for extended periods. Also inspect the frame welds and inspect for any software update history through the RE app. Early units had connectivity glitches that were mostly resolved via OTA updates, but not every owner bothered. Dealer service network remains patchy outside major cities, which matters when something unusual breaks.
