Regent NO. 1 Electric Motorcycle Nears Production

The first electric motorcycle from Swedish brand Regent is nearing completion, and it's quite a nice-looking retro-styled motorcycle, with all the modern technology associated with a new electric bike, yet unique in its own way. The Regent NO. 1 (or RGNT NO 1) was first unveiled at the MC Massan Swedish Motorcycle Fair last year, and now it seems the brand is ready with a production model of the motorcycle. The bike was to be launched in May 2020, but it's still not certain if the current coronavirus pandemic has ended up delaying the launch. In any case, latest reports suggest that the bike is almost ready for launch and an announcement is expected soon.

The Regent No. 1 electric motorcycle has a quintessential classic British bike design, but with an electric motor

The RGNT NO. 1 includes a full-colour TFT touchscreen instrument console, and also an innovative anti-theft system, with a geo-fenced alarm system (quite like the anti-theft system on the Revolt RV400). Owners can set the area in which they want the alarm to be activated, so moving the bike around that area will not activate the alarm, but if the bike is moved out of the specified area, a warning will be sent to the dedicated mobile app of the bike.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
