The Piotto Vogt family from Brazil, for example, just used their…

Royal Enfield’s first electric motorcycle is looking increasingly production-ready. The upcoming Flying Flea C6 (FF C6) has now been spotted testing in Chennai completely undisguised, giving us the clearest look yet at what appears to be the final design.

But local Indian media is now reporting the latest sighting showing the bike out in public traffic wearing what looks like its finished bodywork. That’s usually a strong…
