The German automaker has unveiled two electric bikes, alongside the global debut of the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.
The Porsche eBike Sport is priced at $10,700, while the "cheaper" Porsche eBike Cross costs $8,549.
Both the bikes will be up for grabs from spring 2021.
The e-bikes are dubbed Porsche Sport and Porsche Cross electric bikes, designed for different usage scenarios.
"While the Porsche Sport is a regular road bike for everyday use, the Cross is an off-road bike", reports GizmoChina.

The Sport bike also has M99 LED lights from Supernova, which are embedded in the handlebar stem and aerodynamic seat post.
The Porsche eBike Cross has a new motor developed by Shimano, Magura-MT Trail high-performance brakes with extra-large, heat-resistant brake discs for deceleration.
The Cross is more for off-roading adventures, the report said.
