Greyp G12 — High-Perfomance Electric Bike From Rimac
Originally published on EV Obsession.
Those that are wealthy and in the lookout for an electric bicycle may
want to check out the Greyp G12 — a high-performance offering that can
reach speeds of up to 44 miles per hour (70 kilometers an hour). The
bike is retailing for €6,500 ($7,200) currently.
Interestingly, the bike (which we actually caught word of back in 2013) is the offering of the creator of the Concept_One electric supercar, the Croatian company Rimac Automobili.
The electric bike features a 1.3 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack
that allows for up to 75 miles (120 kilometers) of electric propulsion.
The Greyp G12 is apparently the result of “knowledge acquired during the
conception of Rimac’s $1 million electric supercar.”
Here’s more information coming via Electrek:
“There are 3 use-cases for the Greyp G12: pedal only, pedal-assist and
throttle only. There’s no need to switch mode between the roles of the
pedals. If you want to only pedal, you use the pedals and if you want
the electric motor to assist your pedaling, you use the throttle while
pedaling, and finally you can stop pedaling and only use the throttle.”
Of course, the bike has to have some nifty features to justify the
high price, and it does, including fingerprint activation! “The G12 can
save up to 50 users, and every user can save up to 5 fingers. You can
choose that a certain finger starts the bike in a certain mode. Your
thumb can lead you the Street Mode, while your middle-finger will
activate the Power-mode.”
Regenerative braking that sends up to 2 kW of power back to the battery is also included.
Here are the exact specs for those considering a purchase:
