Porsche has been making waves in the e-bike space, with its recent acquisition of Fazua, a maker of lightweight and compact e-bike drive systems, and its own in-house e-bike arm called Porsche eBike Performance. Now, the company has taken things one step further by purchasing the entirety of Greyp, a Croatian electric bicycle company, and rebranding it under Porsche eBike Performance.
The move is not surprising, as Porsche had already acquired a majority share in Greyp back in November 2021. Greyp specializes in high-tech connected electric bikes, claiming to be the “world’s first fully connected e-bikes.” This technology could be integrated into Porsche’s existing performance-oriented models, such as the Sport, a full-suspension, carbon-fiber two-wheeler.
The founder of Greyp, Mate Rimac, explained that the next step would be the rebranding of Greyp as Porsche eBike Performance. This suggests that Porsche intends to streamline its e-bike business under one entity. It also ties in with Porsche’s investment in Rimac, another Croatian electric super car manufacturer.
The acquisition of Greyp is an exciting development for Porsche and the e-bike industry as a whole. With the combination of Fazua and Greyp’s technology, Porsche eBike Performance could become a leader in the field of high-tech connected electric bikes. It will be interesting to see what new innovations come out of this partnership.
