Read this at electrek today. Porsche just unveiled two e-bikes one FS commuter and one FS emtb. Both carbon frames. Nothing really groundbreaking in terms of design but they do look good.
As usual electrek still incorrectly thinks the limit for e-bikes in Europe is 25kph. Both of these newly released e-bikes are 25kph according to Porsche with no word on s-pedelec versions.
It’s interesting that they used the shimano motor and not a fellow German brand like Bosch or Brose.
I’m starting to think the new Shimano motor is a sleeper and deserves more attention on EBR than it currently receives compared to its competitors.
Personally, so far as legacy auto makers producing e-bikes I like the Harley-Davidson e-bikes better. They really have some design cues that automatically resembles a classic HD heavy motorcycle with their very low battery placement.
The Porsche e-bikes at-least to my eyes doesn’t remind me of a Porsche, just a smooth and fast looking high-end e-bike. Add to the fact that Porsche of all companies has only a 25kph and not 45kph is a real marketing mistake since even HD has s-pedelec versions of their new e-bikes.
