Greyp G6 – the vision and technology
Imagine your friends and family could follow your trail adventures via live-stream, you’ll never have to attach a GoPro to your bike again, or your bike replaces your kids’ PlayStation that you secretly always play on. Or, your bike automatically updates its software like a Tesla and that way constantly gets new functions. That bike and component companies gather valuable live data via more than 50 sensors to help them in developing the latest models and your bike gets to know you and someday it’ll be able to tell exactly how much assistance you need simply by reading your pulse, and you’ll never break a sweat.
Imagine you could send your bike text messages, or you get a message from your bike as soon as it’s fully charged. That’s exactly what the Croatian brand is promising with their new G6 eMTB. The Greyp G6 has a lot of innovative features and accessories – from an integrated eSIM to a multitude of sensors daytime light and two integrated cameras. It quickly becomes clear at the presentation that this bike is not meant to be like any other:
“This is not a bike, but an accessory for your smartphone”, this radical statement of Zvonimir Sučić shows the kinds of things that can happen when a tech company develops an ebike. CEO Mate adds: “We are counted among the best software and electronics suppliers out there, and we’ve developed an ebike based on this know-how.”
That is how the Croatian company intends to set itself apart from the competition: “Unlike traditional bike manufacturers that are basically combining push-bikes with electrical components, we have developed the bike around an electric motor, a bunch of sensors and advanced connectivity. The system’s features and eco-system that we are showing today are much more important than the bike itself. I believe that we succeeded in combining both cycling and the digital experience by integrating sensors and cameras, connecting bikes to the internet and developing an eco-system to create a completely new riding experience. We invested four years into the development. We believe this bike is the turning point for our company, and if I can put my modesty as aside for a moment, will stir up the industry at least a little bit!” Mate Rimac said in his presentation.
