Slimmed-down and restructured company is better prepared for future developments
Slimmed-down and restructured company is better prepared for future developmentsAfter an absence of more than a year and a half, founder Jonathan Åström has taken back the reins at RGNT Motorcycles, the EV motorbike company he founded in 2019. Together with CTO & Head of Design Alexander Lewandowski, and head of marketing & sales Gideon Schipaanboord he created a new company, RGNT Reborn, that bought the IP, tooling and the remaining bikes and parts. Led by the trio, the company is making a relaunch in slimmed-down form, with only a core team at the helm.
Better equipped
The focus of the new management team for the coming period is on two pillars: selling the existing stock and developing the third-generation RGNT models, scheduled for Q3 this year. Åström says: ‘With this new structure, we are better equipped than ever to secure the company’s future. We will try to keep our pan-European dealer and service network fully intact and will be further expanded in the coming period. This way, existing riders can continue to count on the service and support they expect from RGNT, while we welcome new riders to our brand in the meantime.’
Shared R&D
In the new company structure, the R&D team is shared with another entity, providing flexibility and at the same time a lower cost structure. This eliminates the need for continuous investment rounds as in the past, allowing the company to bear its day-to-day operational costs. This makes the company more resilient and resistant to changing market conditions. Åström says: ‘With this move and restructuring, we have prepared RGNT for an even more successful future. And Gideon, Alexander, and I can’t wait to make that future a reality!
