Earlier in February, 2023, Swedish electric motorcycle maker RGNT announced its imminent plans for a world speed record attempt. The machine developed for the task was a modified RGNT No. 1 Classic SE called Project Aurora. For the record attempt, it was fitted with a special aerodynamic fairing and some spiked tires to ensure good grip on the (hopefully fresh) ice.
The RGNT team planned to attend SMA Svenska Motorsport Alliansen Speed Weekend in Årsunda, Sweden, from February 24 through 25, 2023. The weekend is both a sanctioned and licensed event, and of course RGNT wanted to leave no doubt about what it accomplished if it succeeded in achieving its goals.
