Porsche is no stranger to the realm of electric bicycles. Earlier this year, the automaker introduced a pair of high-priced, full-suspension electric mountain bikes, the Sport and the Cross, developed in collaboration with long-term partner Rotwild.
Porsche is the most recent combustion engine manufacturer to dabble in the area of electric two-wheelers. When you hear about automakers releasing their own electric motorcycles, it’s usually merely a brand licensing deal. (Consider Jeep’s e-bike or those Hummer bikes from a decade ago.) Other times, a much-touted initiative, such as General Motors’ Ariv e-bikes, falls victim to wider corporate cost-cutting. However, every now and again, something fascinating appears, such as Harley-recently Davidson’s released Serial 1 e-bikes.
Porsche appears to be fairly serious about the future of e-bikes based on its recent expenditures.
