If you are a modern e-bike brand that was originally part of Rimac Automobili, the high-end electric sports car company, and then you are bought by Porsche, chances are you're not making the e-bike equivalent of a Nissan Qashqai. It's likely you're producing a super e-bike, with the latest tech and an impressive trail presence.
Greyp is that company, but is its G6.6 a genuine super e-bike? Many supercars come with a cool carbon-fibre skin and that's also the case with the Porsche. The Greyp G6.6 gets a full high-modulus composite chassis, which is bolted together with stainless-steel hardware.
You also get a couple of nice details like a chain device, a rubber mudguard behind the BB to keep dirt off the main pivot bearings, a bonded chainstay protector and a large bash guard to shield the motor.The motor in question is a Taiwanese made MPF unit, but Greyp is offering two options on the G6.6, a 6.0c which is limited to 25kph and the 6.0s motor featured here, which will run to 45kph. Obviously the latter is derestricted, which means you'll need a big garden to ride it in if you want to stay legal.

Best places to ride with your kids
Five top venues to keep the nippers entertained this summer
CANNONDALE MOTERRA NEO CARBON 2
It’s got more suspension tunes than a Hitchcock movie, but will this Moterra thrill us or chill us?
100% GLENDALE GLASSES
When it comes to eyewear, having a large lens not only offers a lot more protection from trail splatter, it puts the frames further out from your field of view, allowing you to focus on the terrain in front of you. The Glendale is absolutely vast, and actually has a lens size akin to a full downhill goggle, so you literally can’t see the top or sides of the frame.
DMR STAGE 2 MTB RAIL SADDLE
DMR's new Stage 2 MTB Rail is one of those new/old products. The shape and construction are identical to the existing Oi Oi saddle, but the company has wrapped it in a new skin and added some harder-wearing reinforcement to the edges. It's also toned down the lairy graphics; this saddle only comes in plain black.
STRAIGHT TORQUING - GUY KESTEVEN
Has tech taken the hard work and fun out of mountain biking, or should we embrace evolution and roll with it?
STORM FORCE
Manon Carpenter may have retired from downhill competition, but her new role as a trail advocate is achieving results far beyond the race track
SWEAT AND SLATE
