| Porsche offers very expensive electric scooters |
Porsche was the last car maker to try to manufacture and sell electric scooters, and the result was very expensive.
Porsche expanded its line of electric vehicles by introducing electric scooters that reflect the unique design, technical characteristics and brand of Porsche.
Volkswagen announced in the spring that it would start selling full-suspension electric bikes.
There are two models of Porsche electric bikes:
- Sport: The carbon fiber frame is ideal for day trips. Whether in town or in the country, it is equipped with a full suspension system, electronic Shimano gears, headlights and taillights, and it costs $ 10,700.
- Cross: A cross-country bike with Shimano engine, carbon fiber frame, full suspension, and ultra-heat-resistant hydraulic disc brakes from Magura-MT Trail, $ 8,549.
The company said: Both models are inspired by the sporty characteristics of the Porsche Taycan. The wheels are inspired by a carbon fiber frame for the natural shape of the car's track, and the exquisite design ensures the best light reflection.
Both models were developed in cooperation with the experienced electric bike manufacturer Rotwild and manufactured in Diebold.
A bike with a carbon fiber frame is more expensive than other bikes, and a Porsche badge increases the price.
Porsche claims the Shimano EP8 engines on both motorcycles are very small and can provide pedal assistance of up to 25 km / h.
Porsche is the smallest company focused on internal combustion engines to enter the world of two-wheeled electric cars.
Porsche motorcycles are sure to appeal to Porsche 911 or Porsche Taycan fans, and both motorcycles will go on sale in Spring 2021.
Porsche has developed a robust rear tire for the new Taycan Cross Turismo that is easy to install and ideal for transporting e-bikes.
Due to its long wheel track and high loading capacity of 50 kg, up to two electric scooters can be fitted and the tailgate can always be opened when loaded.
The luggage rack can also be used for different types of bicycles. If required, an extra tape can be added for a third bike.
