The Flying Flea resulted from a request by the former Dutch DKW importer for a replica of Holland's then best selling motorcycle, the 98cc DKW RT following the withdrawal of the DKW concession on religious grounds. Royal Enfield obliged, producing a machine that closely followed the DKW design, although they increased capacity to 125cc.
