The Porsche Taycan EV is the car that inspired the design of both eBikes. Each has an organically shaped carbon frame, and both were developed with the help of eBike expert Rotwild.

As its name suggests, the eBike Cross is better suited to challenging terrain and mountain biking. The rider's efforts are assisted by a Shimano EP8 motor with up to 62 lb-ft of torque. It has a mechanical Shimano XT 12-speed rear derailleur that makes quick gear changes easy, and the new Fox 34 Performance suspension fork has 4.7 inches of travel. At the back is the Fox Float DPX damper with 3.9 inches of travel. Slowing down is by way of Magura-MT trail disc brakes.

According to a comprehensive2022 study byLawnStarter, some of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the USA are San Francisco, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, and Eugene. Avid cyclists in these parts of America will love the eBike Sport which is perfect for everyday cycling. At $11,750, its Shimano EP8 motor has the same amount of torque as the eBike Cross, but it has a different electronic Shimano XT DI2 11-speed rear derailleur.

New Continental tires give it enough grip on gravel or unpaved surfaces, and a Magura four-piston caliper on the rear wheel helps to bring it to a safe and secure stop. There are some clever features like a smartphone connector and Supernova lighting integrated in the stem and seat post.
