Caviar Herzog customized luxury Porsche eBike Cross 3rd Gen arrives
A new limited edition gold Porsche eBike Cross 3rd Gen has arrived from Caviar. The brand specializes in luxury customization of tech and accessories and has described this project as the "Royal Porsche Electric Bike". Caviar has named the e-bike "Herzog" after the aristocratic family, with a range of premium material upgrades to make this model even more expensive.
Caviar notes that it has replaced some parts and decorated others, though it does not specify the changes. Broadly, the carbon frame has been given a gold PVD titanium coating and fitted with other 18-karat gold alloy parts, which are said to be wear-resistant. The original saddle and handlebars have also been replaced with premium brown leather equivalents. Otherwise, the e-bike appears to be the same as the original model. Developed in collaboration with ROTWILD, the electric bicycle is powered by an 85Nm Shimano EP801 motor with a 504Wh battery. The 12-speed model also features a Shimano XT rear derailleur and Fox Float suspension at the front and rear. Plus, a small display shows your speed; you could mount your phone on the handlebars using a gadget like the Lamicall Bike Phone Holder.
You can buy the Caviar Herzog Porsche eBike Cross 3rd Gen for $44,000. For context, the original model retailed for around $11,000. Caviar notes that only nine units of the model are currently available. Plus, customers will get a customized iPhone with Porsche branding as a gift with their purchase.
