Royal Enfield Flying Flea to Feature Qualcomm Tech for Connectivity Features

Royal Enfield has partnered with Qualcomm Technologies to integrate advanced connectivity features into its Flying Flea motorcycle range. These motorcycles use Qualcomm's Snapdragon QWM2290 system-on-chip (SoC) and Snapdragon Car-to-Cloud platform, making the Flying Flea one of the first two-wheelers to adopt connected services technology. Royal Enfield's technical team developed the Flying Flea models with five pre-set ride modes tailored for different riding conditions. The motorcycles feature a round TFT display powered by the Snapdragon chip and allow smartphone integration as smart keys. This setup lets riders manage vehicle functions with ease and enhances overall control during rides.

Mario Alvisi, chief growth officer, electric vehicles, Royal Enfield said: ‘Flying Flea is more than a new brand from Royal Enfield - it is a whole new approach in which we are deeply invested in terms of ground-breaking infrastructure, authentic design philosophy and modern technology. While all aspects of our connected electric motorcycles have been developed in-house by our dedicated technical team, our work with Qualcomm Technologies is a significant step in our effort to build advanced EV technology and create a unique and differentiated product experience in the global electric mobility space.’

This strategic collaboration brings together Royal Enfield's iconic heritage, steeped in history and adventure, with Qualcomm Technologies’ cutting-edge technology and innovation. Together, we are creating a motorcycle that not only pays homage to the Flying Flea's storied legacy but also sets a new benchmark for connectivity, performance, and rider experience.”
