Porsche acquired the majority stake at Greyp Bikes. Since 2018, Porsche held a stake of around ten percent at the company, making similar investments like the one in Rimac Automobilli in the same year.

While the e-bikes business increases, the interest of Porsche in the segment is rocketing as Porsche recognizes Greyp Bikes’ potential in the micro mobility market.

The CEO expressed excitement and great expectations for the deal to come and affirmed that Greyp will have a very strong and growing presence in Croatia. He claimed both companies are prepared to conquer big goals.
