About Romet
Country of Origin:

Founder:
ARKUS & Romet Group (modern); historical Fabryka Rowerów i Motocykli ‘Romet’
Best Known For:
Polish mopeds/commuters (Ogar, Chart) and modern value scooters/motorcycles
Company History
Romet is woven into Poland’s mobility story, from communist-era mopeds that carried workers and students to today’s lineup of value scooters and small motorcycles. The classic Ogars and Charts were simple, durable two-strokes with parts available from village shops; they taught generations to wrench and provided crucial independence. After industry transitions, the revived Romet badge returned with globally sourced engines and EU-homologated components, sold through a nationwide dealer network that emphasizes spares and service. Modern Romets accept harsh winters and salted roads better than early imports thanks to improved coatings, sealed electrics, and reliable EFI on regulated models. Historically, Romet represents the continuity of practical two-wheel transport in Poland—machines that trade glamour for uptime and affordability, and that still carry families and small businesses through narrow streets and wider economic changes with stubborn reliability.
