Greta is the city all-rounder. A low-maintenance bike with full equipment. Whether for commuting to work, as a family bike or for longer tours – Greta is equipped for many uses with its Shimano 8-speed gear system. Carbon belt drive, front luggage rack, mudguards and integrated LED lighting with hub dynamo and disc brakes make every ride on this bike an experience.
Mounted on the frame, the steering remains agile even with heavier loads. An integral part of the carrier concept are the innovative tension straps (VarioStraps), which can be individually adjusted to the size and shape of the load.

The step-through trapez frame in 6061 aluminium stands out with flat-welded, aerodynamically shaped tubes that give the bicycle a calm, uncluttered line. Power flows through a Gates Carbon belt running over a belt port with a sliding tensioning system – the silent partner of the Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub. Together they produce a 307 percent gear range, graduated enough for climbs and wide enough for a quick pace on open roads. The belt drive counts among the cleanest solutions on the market and keeps trouser cuffs and pant legs free of lubricant. Braking comes from hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors, and the lighting is fed by the Shimano hub dynamo – a LED headlight up front, a tail light with standlight integrated into the mudguard – so Greta is road-safe at any hour. A frame-mounted front rack with VarioStraps rounds things off: up to 15 kilograms of luggage turn Greta into a capable companion for shopping and multi-day tours.
The model name Greta is a single, self-contained element and ranks among the great classics of first names: as a Scandinavian and German short form of Margareta it stands for 'pearl', derived from the Greek word margarites. An easy name to remember, easy to pronounce – and just as unpretentious and self-reliant as the bike in ash grey.
Greta belongs to a series whose foundation is shared between two frame shapes. Gustav takes on the role of the classic diamond-frame bicycle, while Greta represents the accessible side: a trapez frame with a low step-through. Underneath, both carry identical technology – flat-welded 6061 aluminium tubes with an aero profile, a Gates Carbon belt with belt port, a Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub and hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. This architecture ensures the same real-world usability, leaving the choice purely between sitting style and entry preference.
Greta answers a simple and very common question: which bike masters the working day, family life and the weekend outing all at once? With its trapez frame and low entry, Greta simplifies daily transitions; 47 mm WTB Horizon tyres on 27.5-inch wheels smooth the urban floor and ease light terrain; and the dynamo lighting with standlight keeps itself supplied. The frame-mounted front rack with VarioStraps extends the radius to 15 kilograms of load – laptop backpack, shopping bag or rolled-up tent – while the double kickstand keeps Greta steady. A child seat for the youngest passengers fits in just as easily. Where sibling Gustav emphasises the sporty ride with its diamond frame, Greta puts accessibility first – turning the city and its surroundings into an unrestricted playground.
