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.

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.

Following its debut in Milan, Motototem will travel globally throughout 2025, exemplifying the intersection of mobility, sustainability and design.
