Just days after our bankruptcy coverage, RGNT CEO Jonathan Åström contacted Buck City Biker with a breaking update: the boutique Swedish builder is back in business with immediate effect. Same captain at the helm, same crew, same mission — building small-batch electric bikes with classic lines and real-world usability.

Lightning just dropped something big — and it’s not a new bike. The California outfit has launched EDGE, a modular 800V electric architecture spun out of its race program, and it’s offering the platform to manufacturers across multiple sectors. Translation: Lightning wants to supply the guts behind future machines — including electric motorcycles — rather than just building its own.

In a sea of concept builds and back-room prototypes, Project Ares is one that actually deserves a second look. Real Motors is putting ride feel front and centre and backing it up with a design that stops you mid-scroll.

Zero Motorcycles crushed 2025 with its strongest global sales and dealer growth in years, proving its electric models — and the wider e-moto sector — still have legs on streets and trails.
