After passing through EICMA 2025, Cyclone unveiled many of the new features that currently make up its 2026 range in Europe. He also announced others in the form of future releases, including the RT3Ecommonly known as RT250E in the markets where it has been marketed since 2024. An interesting option for those looking for a retro-style citizen scooter.
The Chinese alternative to the Vespa GTS 310
Currently Cyclone offers in our country three options within its portfolio of models intended for the scooter segment and where the RT2 and RT3S They are placed as the top of its range. In the case of the RT250E, the Chinese firm goes one step further in terms of the concept that surrounds the model, thanks to providing it with an image and equipment with a clear retro approach.
The same does not happen if we focus on the technical aspect, where none of the gad-gets that other options from competing brands have. These would include the Vespa GTS 310with which he shares that vintage style that is so popular these days. Especially in a segment as particular as that of scooters over 125 cc, where we also have a multitude of options to choose from.
Cyclone RT250E: an efficient technical section
Mechanically, the RT250E is equipped with a 250 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine that offers a final power of 24.5 HP (18 kW) at 7,500 rpm and maximum torque is 24.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The brand declares a curb weight of 162kgalong with a wheelbase of 1,410mm and a seat height of only 750mm. This ergonomic triangle provides handling suitable for almost any pilot, regardless of height.
In terms of equipment it has, among others:
- Dual channel ABS
- TCS
- KYB suspension system
- T-BOX connectivity
- Double disc brake
- keyless system
- Full LED lighting
- LCD screen as an instrument panel, etc.
The technological section is completed with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and a front camera installed on its dashboard. On the other hand, another of its advantages is undoubtedly the approved capacity of its fuel tank, 13 liters.
This will allow us to enjoy a autonomy greater than 400 kilometers. Likewise, it is also worth highlighting the large compartment that we will find under its seat, although due to its shallow depth, it can only house jet-type helmets.
Price and availability
For now, Cyclone has not confirmed (or denied) the possibility that the model will end up being marketed in these parts. Currently, the Chinese brand offers this RT250E in four color settingsto which it adds a wide range of optional accessories with which to give it a visual and equipment bonus to taste.
All this for the equivalent of about 2,200 euros; a rate that would surely increase if it finally reached European dealers. In any case, for more information, you can consult directly on the company’s official website or visit your nearest authorized distributor.
