Porsche Design introduces two new trail eBikes in the form of the eBike Sport and the eBike Cross, both of which are inspired by the Taycan Cross Turismo. The eBike Sport boasts a sleek design and a white glossy finish for everyday purposes. It has a small Shimano EP8 motor that fuels the bike to a speed of 15 mph.
The Shimano electric gear system is also integrated to ensure that it is smooth on the road. The eBike Cross is done in a sleek black palette made for mountainous roads. It also features the Shimano motor but has added features including the high performing MY Trail brakes and a full suspension carbon frame with the Shimano XT 12-fold shifting system.
