RGNT Motorcycles 2025
RGNT Motorcycles is a Swedish electric motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. Founded in 2019, the company designs and produces fully electric motorcycles with a retro-inspired aesthetic. RGNT's mission is to blend classic motorcycle design with modern electric mobility solutions.
History
RGNT Motorcycles was founded by entrepreneur Jonathan Åström in 2019.
The idea for the company was born out of a desire to modernize motorcycle commuting while preserving the charm of vintage bike design. The prototype development began in Gothenburg, Sweden, and early versions of the motorcycles were showcased at European automotive and sustainability events.
In 2020, RGNT launched its first model, the RGNT No.1, a cafe racer-style electric motorcycle. The bike attracted attention for its silent operation, retro styling, and zero-emission performance. Production of the No.1 line ceased in 2025 following the introduction of a new generation of motorcycles.
In 2025, RGNT introduced the RGNT Turbo, a high-performance electric motorcycle designed to succeed the No.1 series. Featuring a peak power output of 46 kW, the Turbo offers market-leading performance in the urban commuter segment while maintaining the company's signature hub motor architecture.[1]
Since its inception, the company has produced over 500 motorcycles, all hand-assembled at its production facility in Varberg, Sweden.[2]
Products
As of 2025, RGNT offers the following models:
- RGNT Turbo – The current flagship model featuring a high-output hub motor with 46 kW peak power, upgraded suspension, enhanced software, and improved urban ride dynamics.[1]
Discontinued models:
- RGNT No.1 Classic – A retro-styled cafe racer with a handcrafted steel frame and hub motor, produced from 2020 to 2025.
- RGNT No.1 Scrambler – An off-road-oriented version of the No.1 with increased clearance and dual-sport tires. Also discontinued in 2025.
RGNT motorcycles are produced in small-scale, built-to-order batches, with an annual production capacity of approximately 300 units.[2]
Technology
RGNT motorcycles use a hub motor system to minimize drivetrain complexity and maintenance. The company’s battery management and control software is developed in-house, and the Turbo model includes substantial performance improvements while preserving this core architecture.
The RGNT Turbo introduces:
- A high-power hub motor (46 kW peak)
- Upgraded suspension and braking components
- Enhanced thermal management and electronic control systems
Motorsport
In 2025, RGNT Motorcycles launched its own all-electric motorcycle racing series, marking a milestone in Swedish motorsport history. The series is run in parallel with the national Swedish Championship (Svenska Mästerskapen) and features a dedicated grid of eight RGNT Turbo motorcycles built specifically for the track.[3]
The initiative is regarded as one of the first manufacturer-led fully electric racing formats in the Nordics, with RGNT positioning the series as both a technical testbed and a showcase for zero-emission performance motorcycles. All participating bikes are based on the RGNT Turbo platform, modified for racing conditions with enhanced firmware, suspension, and braking systems.
Market Presence
RGNT primarily targets the European market, with announced plans to expand into North America and Asia. The company has exhibited at events such as EICMA in Milan and positions itself as a premium electric motorcycle brand combining sustainability and Scandinavian design.
