Royal Alloy is a British-born brand. In Europe, pairing classic design with electrification has become almost a given. This model arriving in Japan in its first EV form, across a full lineup of 15 variants from 50cc up to standard motorcycle class, feels like the small-mobility sensibility I've seen in London finally reaching here too.

First time hearing of Royal Alloy -- is it a storied British brand?

A skeleton-style body has buzz appeal, but I'm curious how practical it actually is.

Before practicality even comes into it, I'm curious how this wide price range plays out.

This probably overlaps with the demand base for retro scooters like the Vespa or Chaly.

Bringing all 15 models to Japan right out of the gate shows real commitment.

Curious how the 15 models break down between EV and gasoline.

Launching a retro scooter with a full EV lineup right from the start feels very of-the-moment.
