At Salone del Mobile 2025 in Milan, Royal Enfield\u2019s new electric sub-brand, Flying Flea, unveiled a fusion of design and innovation \u2014 a one-off art bike named Motototem, created in collaboration with Italian artist Mattia Biagi.<\/p>\n

Built upon the FF-C6, Flying Flea\u2019s flagship electric motorcycle, Motototem transforms the EV into a sculptural artwork. Biagi reimagined components like the forged aluminum frame and magnesium battery case using natural materials, including travertine, clay, bronze, stone, leather and blown glass. The result is a deeply symbolic, sensory-rich vehicle that explores themes of nature, history and human connection.<\/p>\n

The bronze handlebars and footpegs carry the artist\u2019s fingerprint. The headlight and taillight have been replaced with hand-blown glass forms, while the tank \u2014 crafted from travertine \u2014 pays homage to the original 1940s Flying Flea motorcycles air-dropped during WWII.<\/p>\n

Though artistic in nature, Motototem retains the technological DNA of the FF-C6, which boasts Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered connectivity, voice navigation and a bespoke ride experience built by over 200 engineers across India and the UK.<\/p>\n

Following its debut in Milan, Motototem will travel globally throughout 2025, exemplifying the intersection of mobility, sustainability and design.<\/p>\n
