3 Each GRACE bike is based on a distinctive vision. GRACE stands for amazing bikes and vehicles made for extraordinary people - and a company that never shies away from a challenge. We set up GRACE because we want to head the vanguard of a new mobility. This drives GRACE s philosophy: With uncompromising quality and design we set new mobility standards for people who are not afraid to press ahead. Since 2009, we ve been building bikes to satisfy the high demands we set ourselves, and which are resolutely fit for everyday use. From the start GRACE has been synonymous with speed and high performance. We redefined existing standards and limitations, and we shall continue to do so. Going global and widening the scope of our model palette are integral to the process. Every bike derives from the passionate commitment to our values and principles. Fly with GRACE!

5 Simple - this minimalist city bike combines the most up-to-date technology with timeless understatement, and thus takes the stress out of driving and complements the cityscape. The superior design unites motor, battery and frame into one superlative entity. Other features of this design award-winning piece of equipment are the innovative, low maintenance Gates Carbon Drive belt propulsion system, the silent high-performance back wheel hub engine for speeds up to 41km/h, and the energy regenerative brake system. Such summary lightness will always be distinct Red Dot Award for product design 2013 Voted Best Classic Pedelec by ExtraEnergy Magazine GRACE EASY

15 Speeding away at 45km/h the MX loves those roads other bikes wouldn t tackle. Running on a Gates Carbon Drive belt system with NuVinci N360 hub, and high performing mid-mounted Bosch engine, this bike with its large range is ideal for summer excursions into the wild. The 45-degree, transverse-mounted engine provides optimum ground clearance and excellent balance for rough terrain. The three-part down tube provides the solution for an optimum combination of frame and propulsion. The battery fits into the frame from underneath for complete protection from stone chip hits and other debris, but of course meets any other challenge. GRACE MX

21 A new bike for individualists and trail blazers, designed by our resident Californian Ian Galvin. Dark, alluring, puristic - the Blackbird amongst E-bikes reaches entirely new levels of design and technology. The MX II comes in an Urban and a Trail version with two frame sizes, and may be combined either with rigid or a suspension fork. It makes up a perfect symbiosis with new, second generation Bosch drive units, Gates Carbon Drive propulsion, and NuVicini N360 hub drivetrains. Whether riding Urban or Trail, the MX II takes your GRACE moments of joy across a fantastic range, and in a completely new look. GRACE MX II

29 The ultimate, pure GRACE E-motor bike: Performance, speed and innovation, all combined with our legendary design. Available in two frame geometries, as Universal and City - with fat break disks, power lighting, and discrete fully frame-integrated technology. Turn the accelerator throttle for the 1300 Watt back hub mounted engine, and with no extra legwork the bike effortlessly reaches 45km/h. It s like flying, with perfectly controlled performance from our own specially developed Controller. We recommend: Rev up - yeah or never. Anyone seeking the ultimate bespoke approach will chose GRACE PRO. As all the best decisions are made out of passion. GRACE ONE

36 GRACE stands for the best engineering standards, made in Germany. This means intelligent solutions and a holistic approach. Uncompromising when it comes to design and quality, we strive to find the best sustainable and most attractive transport solutions for the future. Staying one step ahead while pursuing new approaches is our founding idea. From our early beginnings, we have rigorously striven to continuously improve the reliably balanced combination of technology and efficiency of our vehicles. And build the coolest E-bikes on the planet! It s a standard we ll maintain and keep up by always incorporating up-todate technological advances and any available improvements for our components. Naturally we aim high so we can continue to appeal to an ever wider community. GRACE are committed not just to top performance, but also to the pleasure, the joy, and the passion that people have gained from our bikes since GRACE s inception in VISION
