- RGNT launched the new Street Scrambler alongside its existing Street Classic, with both bikes sharing the same 46 kW direct-drive rear hub motor (540 Nm peak torque), 135 km/h (84 mph) top speed, and 3.9-second 0-100 km/h sprint.
- The Scrambler swaps the Classic's 17-inch front wheel for an 18-incher with 18 x 2.5-inch on/off-road rubber, raises the handlebars, lifts ride height by 20mm, bumps ground clearance from 230mm to 260mm, and increases seat height from 810mm to 830mm.
- RGNT offers two fixed, non-removable battery packs — an 8.3 kWh standard unit rated for 139 km (86 miles) of range, and an optional 10.1 kWh long-range pack that stretches range to 170 km (106 miles).
- Charging runs through a Type 2 connector common in Europe: the standard 1.8 kW onboard charger fills the pack in 4 hours 35 minutes, while an optional 6 kW unit cuts a full charge to 1 hour 25 minutes, or about 50 minutes for a 20-80% top-up.
- The Scrambler includes ABS, traction control, regenerative braking, keyless starting, full LED lighting, and a 3-inch circular display supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto behind its vintage bodywork.
- Pricing starts at €9,495 for the Scrambler — €500 over the €8,995 Classic — with reservations open on a €100 deposit; RGNT says it expects to enter the US market in 2027 with prices from US $9,995.
- RGNT builds its motorcycles by hand in Gothenburg, Sweden using a small-production approach, and earlier this year announced more than 600 of its bikes are already on European streets.
Why it matters: For European buyers willing to spend €500 over the Classic, the Scrambler adds genuine gravel-road capability without sacrificing the vintage styling that defines RGNT's lineup — but the fixed battery and AC-only charging keep it strictly in commuter and weekend-rider territory rather than long-distance touring. The planned 2027 US launch at $9,995 marks RGNT's first transatlantic push beyond the 600+ bikes already running across Europe.
