Royal Enfield's Flying Flea Debuts 'Motototem' Art Bike by Mattia Biagi
During this year’s Milan Design Week.
At Salone del Mobile 2025 in Milan, Royal Enfield’s new electric sub-brand, Flying Flea, unveiled a fusion of design and innovation — a one-off art bike named Motototem, created in collaboration with Italian artist Mattia Biagi.
Built upon the FF-C6, Flying Flea’s 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.
The bronze handlebars and footpegs carry the artist’s fingerprint. The headlight and taillight have been replaced with hand-blown glass forms, while the tank — crafted from travertine — pays homage to the original 1940s Flying Flea motorcycles air-dropped during WWII. Fenders feature resin-cast leaves and the seat is now a warm walnut block. Even the tyres are detailed with swallows, symbolizing loyalty and homecoming.
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. “Flying Flea is not just an electric motorcycle brand—it’s a creative platform,” said Mario Alvisi, Chief Growth Officer, EVs, Royal Enfield.
Following its debut in Milan, Motototem will travel globally throughout 2025, exemplifying the intersection of mobility, sustainability and design.
