GR1T and Wheelab join forces!

In a defining moment for the future of smart urban mobility, GR1T Motorcycles is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Wheelab, one of Italy’s premier design and engineering studios. This collaboration marks the beginning of a brand-new chapter—focused squarely on the creation of a next-generation electric motorcycle purpose-built for urban and suburban commuting. At the heart of this partnership lies a shared vision: to make urban electric mobility more accessible, stylish, and sustainable than ever before.

The Need for Change in Electric Urban Mobility

The landscape of urban transportation is evolving rapidly. With growing congestion, stricter emissions regulations, and rising consumer demand for sustainable alternatives, cities across Europe are increasingly prioritizing zero-emission mobility solutions. Shared e-scooters and micro-mobility vehicles have gained popularity, but they fall short in many areas: short life spans, high maintenance costs, and the production of significant electronic waste. Paris’s recent ban on shared e-scooters is a clear sign that the future demands a higher standard of quality and sustainability.


This is where GR1T steps in.


Our goal is to offer electric motorcycles that combine the thrill of riding with the practicality and efficiency required in today’s urban environments. By teaming up with Wheelab, we are taking this mission to the next level. The result will be a new model that redefines what it means to ride an electric motorcycle in the city.


A Design-Led Approach


Wheelab brings decades of experience designing vehicles for iconic automotive brands, with a deep understanding of Italian design sensibility and engineering precision. Their creative and technical expertise will help shape a motorcycle that doesn’t just perform exceptionally well—it will also turn heads.


The new model will be built on a modular platform designed for scalability and flexibility. This allows GR1T to create multiple versions or "characters" tailored to different customer segments without significantly increasing production complexity or cost. It’s a smarter way to develop high-performance electric vehicles.


Tackling Range Anxiety


We understand that one of the main concerns for EV users is range anxiety. That’s why our new motorcycle will feature a dual removable battery setup as standard. These batteries can be charged in any household socket, making GR1T motorcycles completely independent from public charging infrastructure. This offers unmatched convenience, especially in dense urban environments where charging stations can be difficult to access.



Digital and Security Features


GR1T’s new model will also introduce the latest in digital mobility features. The motorcycle will come equipped with 4G connectivity, three integrated 4K cameras for enhanced safety and content creation, and real-time notifications through a connected mobile app. These features elevate the rider experience and add a layer of convenience and security.


A Platform for Growth


By expanding our range to include commuter-focused electric motorcycles, GR1T is positioning itself as a leader in the smart mobility revolution. This partnership with Wheelab marks the beginning of that journey, and we can’t wait to share more as development progresses.

Stay tuned as we shape the future of electric motorcycles, one model at a time.
