Highlighting GR1T’s Motorcycle Industrial Experience

09 Nov Highlighting GR1T’s Motorcycle Industrial Experience

GR1T Motorcycles is above all the results of thousands of engineering, performance and market decisions and trials made by some of Europe’s top minds in the motorcycle and automotive industries.

Our Pioneer Pro and Pioneer Street electric motorcycles are designed for functionality, ergonomy and elegance. They represent best-in-class performance in the lightweight electric motorcycle segment.

Yet the Pioneer’s outer design is the result of exacting trials and tests done internally by our industrial development and manufacturing partners.

We know full well that as a European motorcycle manufacturer competing internationally, we need to engineer a superior and long-lasting product that conforms to some of the most exacting specifications on the planet.

Our launch at the EICMA 2023 International Motorcycle Exhibition brought together members of the team that has been working with GR1T since the design and ideation stage.

Seen here are four of the key movers behind GR1T that collectively share 100 years of experience in the German and international motorcycle sectors. From left:
