Spy shot: Camouflaged prototype of the new 2021 Porsche ebike with the Shimano EP8 motor
Porsche invited us to an exclusive event with bike legend Karl Platt and Le Mans winner Jörg Bergmeister. At the same time, we also caught a glimpse of Porsche’s prototype 2021 ebike. We have the exclusive first photos and information for you!
The nebulous mist clears as we meet up with 5-time Cape Epic winner Karl Platt and Porsche Ambassador and racing driver Jörg Bergmeister in the Pfalz to write a story on the two friends, who each share the other’s profession as a hobby. Of course, we also went out for a ride with both of them!
We had previously heard rumours of a Porsche ebike for 2021 but didn’t expect to catch a glimpse of it here. Surprisingly, the Porsche PR team brought a prototype with them to show us. There aren’t yet any official specs or prices but we found out more about the concept. The new urban Porsche ebike is designed to bring the style and prestige of a Porsche to the city streets – especially after you’ve parked up your sports car. Porsche are aware of the fact that inner cities will become ever more strongly restricted in the future, making alternative modes of transport even more important. Bikes are unbeatable as inner-city transportation and offer an important addition to other options on offer. The new Porsche ebike is to be officially launched, together with a new car, for 2021.
