There are two types of Porsche e-bikes
A new variation called Taikan Cross Turismo has been added to Porsche's fully electric car Taikan ^ ^
When I saw the world premiere of the Taycan Cross Turismo, many people thought, "Oh, it's a specification that seems to be for off-road use, so I put a bicycle on it."
However, the bicycle on which it is mounted was also a newly released Porsche bicycle (laugh).
And of course those bikes? Electric bicycle (electric bicycle). After all it is an announcement according to Taycan ~ ^ ^
So, this time I would like to take a look at the newly announced Porsche bicycles called Porsche eBike.
Porsche bicycle
There are two types of electric bicycles announced, "Porsche eBike Sport" is the best model for everyday life, and the other "Porsche eBike Cross" is a type that can be used when running on rougher terrain.
A full suspension carbon frame featuring an organic shape inspired by Porsche Taycan, and Magura's high performance brakes on the powerful and latest generation Shimano motor.
Both models were developed in collaboration with eBike expert Rotwild and are made in Germany (made in the city of Dieburg, Germany).
Porsche eBike Sport:Porsche e-bike sports
For Porsche eBike sports, Shimano's EP8 motor (maximum speed of 25 km / h), which is extremely compact, and Shimano's electronic gear system are adopted.
Magura's high-performance brakes are integrated into the handlebars for a very clean cockpit. The M99 LED light (Supernova) has an elegant and sophisticated design. It's embedded in the handlebar stem and aerodynamic seatpost.
Combined with high-quality Magura inverted suspension forks and FOX rear shock absorbers, it provides a sporty and balanced ride on asphalt and calm terrain.

The Porsche eBike Cross is ideal for unpaved roads such as the countryside.
The powerful motor developed by Shimano maintains a natural ride quality while maximizing performance even on difficult roads.
The Magura-MT Trail's high-performance brakes feature very large heat-resistant brake discs, and Shimano's XT 12-speed shift system allows you to quickly change gears according to terrain and needs.
The hydraulically adjustable Crank brothers highline seats are adjustable to a variety of angles, giving you the best position for everyone, with ergonomically designed handlebars as well as full control. Possible.
It seems that it also has a Shimano color display, which displays not only speed but also distance and cruising range in real time.
It seems that the carbon frame with full suspension is finished in a very neat design.
Inspired by Porsche Taycan
It is said that Porsche Taycan was inspired by both models, and the wheels are inspired by the fly line of the Taycan's carbon frame.
The elaborate design designed and developed by Studio FA Porsche is designed with beautiful light reflection in mind.
Bicycle carrier is also available for Taycan Cross Turismo
The powerful load-bearing rear carrier developed for Porsche's Taikan Cross Turismo is said to be ideal for carrying eBikes, because it is easy to install, with long wheel rails and can carry up to 50 kg. , It seems that you can put up to 2 units with eBike.
Of course, not only Porsche e-bikes but also other bicycles can be mounted. Additional rails can be installed for the third bike if needed.
Porsche Electric Bike eBike Price
Porsche bicycles were announced quietly (or not ^^) at the same time as the announcement of the Taikan Cross Turismo, but the price is still quite high, about 1 million yen.
This is the price in the United States, so if it is released in Japan in the future, it will surely exceed 1 million yen.
