Porsche, the renowned luxury automaker, has taken a step further into the world of electric mobility by unveiling two new electric bicycles that cater to the higher end of the market. The latest additions to Porsche’s e-bike lineup are the Porsche eBike Cross Performance and eBike Cross Performance EXC. These bicycles come on the heels of Porsche’s first electric bicycle, the Porsche Rodeo, and demonstrate the company’s commitment to expanding its e-mobility offerings.
Porsche’s foray into the e-bike market has been bolstered by its recent acquisition of Greyp Bikes, a leading manufacturer of high-performance electric mountain bikes. This strategic move has strengthened Porsche’s in-house capabilities in the e-bike space, where the company has been active for several years. The collaboration with renowned e-bike designer Rotwild has resulted in the creation of these two new models, which promise exhilarating rides on both asphalt and off-road trails.
The Porsche eBike Cross Performance is equipped with the Shimano EP-801 mid-drive motor and features Fox Factory suspension, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. Its 630Wh battery provides ample power for maximum performance on the trail. Additionally, the eBike Cross Performance is expected to come with a 12-speed Shimano rear derailleur, offering an optimal gear ratio for efficient pedaling uphill and downhill.
The eBike Cross Performance offers two riding profiles and various modes, including Eco, Trail, Boost, and Fine Tune. In the Fine Tune Mode of Profile 2, riders have the flexibility to customize up to 15 support parameters, allowing for an optimized riding experience tailored to the terrain. The bike also boasts notable features such as Auto-Shift, Free Shift, and the reliable MT7 Magura brake system.
For those seeking an even more personalized experience, Porsche presents the eBike Cross Performance EXC, which caters to individualized requirements and showcases exquisite craftsmanship. This model retains the impressive features of the eBike Cross Performance while offering exclusive colors from the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Riders can choose from stunning options such as Star Ruby Neo, Mamba Green Metallic, Carmine Red, and Ice Gray Metallic, among others.
The Porsche eBike Cross Performance is priced at $14,250, providing a premium option for electric bike enthusiasts. For those seeking even greater power and refinement, the Porsche eBike Cross Performance EXC is available at $15,350, offering a truly exceptional riding experience.
These new electric bicycles from Porsche exemplify the company’s dedication to innovation and luxury across various mobility segments. With their advanced features and impeccable design, the eBike Cross Performance and eBike Cross Performance EXC aim to elevate the standards of electric biking and cater to the discerning tastes of enthusiasts.
