While a STAMPD Matsuhisa Sport Cap and “Beverly Hills Sushi Club” Trucker Hat serves to round up the first drop from the Matsuhisa x STAMPD collaboration.

Now a name synonymous with fine dining, Nobu Matsuhisa modestly started his restaurant empire with just one Beverly Hills location.

Porsche Design has just unveiled two new electric bikes inspired by the Taycan Cross Turismo: eBike Sport and eBike Cross.

The eBike Sport, with its sleek body and glossy white finish, has been made for everyday use. It comes with a small Shimano EP8 motor that can help boost the bike’s speed upwards of 15 mph, while its Shimano electric gear shifting system allows for a smooth ride. 

The eBike Cross is the black counterpart. It’s designed to handle rugged mountainous terrains, also powered by Shimano motor technology. Compared to the eBike Sport, the Cross comes with a handful of extra features, like high-performance MT Trail brakes and a full-suspension carbon frame. Other details like a Shimano XT 12-fold shifting system and a Crankbrothers Highline seat post complete the eBike’s sleek design.

Porsche Design’s eBike Sport and eBike Cross are currently available on the company’s website, ranging from $8,549 – $10,700 USD.
