Do you want to own an electric bike (eBike) but don’t want to look dorky? Well, if you want something that looks really cool — and you don’t mind spending your money on an eBike instead of a brand-new car — then check out the new Porsche eBike Cross Performance series.
The new Porsche eBike Cross Performance and Cross Performance EXC are some of the most ludicrous bikes you can get in the market. It was co-developed by Rotwild, an e-bike expert, to “get hearts racing both on asphalt and on the trail.”

For the vanilla eBike Cross Performance, you’re getting a Fox Factory suspension, a spanking new Shimano EP-801 mid-drive motor, and a 630Wh battery.
The said motor offers two riding profiles. The first one has three modes: Eco, Trail, and Boost. Meanwhile, the second profile has a Fine Tune Mode that riders can set individually.
Another fancy feature is the Auto Shift function that automatically shifts the drivetrain. There’s also the Free Shift feature that can shift without crank movement.
It then has an MT7 brake system that has a four-piston aluminum caliper. Plus, Crankbrothers Synthesis Enduro Carbon wheelset and B220 Flatriser 35 carbon handlebar.
As for the Cross Performance EXC, well, it appears to be the same, but is available in more color options: Carmine Red, Star Ruby Neo, Ice Gray Metallic, Shade Green Metallic, Mamba Green Metallic, and Shark Blue.
Now, for the price. Make sure you’re sitting down for this as the Porsche eBike Cross Performance has a starting price of USD14,250 (~Php795,700), while the EXC is at USD15,350 (~Php857,200).
