Porsche relies on e-bikes and joins FAZUA!

Porsche is further expanding its involvement in the fast-growing market for eBikes: the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer is taking a stake in Fazua, an innovative manufacturer of eBike drive systems, and is entering into a strategic partnership with Ponooc Investment BV. Dutch society focuses on sustainable energy and mobility solutions. Ponooc is part of Pon Holdings BV - a trading and service company with around 16.000 employees worldwide, which is active in the bicycle industry and the automotive business, among other things.

Porsche relies on e-bikes

Porsche acquires 20 percent of the shares in Fazua GmbH. In addition, there is an option to acquire further shares, which allows Porsche to take over Fazua completely. The company from Ottobrunn near Munich was founded in 2013 and is a pioneer in the development of light and compact drive technologies. It established the new category of "light eBikes" and today employs more than 100 people. More than 40 well-known brands already rely on Fazua technologies. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

With Ponooc, Porsche is planning to establish two joint ventures that will be active in the field of electromobility. The first joint venture is to develop, manufacture and sell a future generation of high-quality Porsche eBikes. The second company will focus on technological solutions for the rapidly growing micro-mobility market. With these steps, Porsche is driving its e-mobility strategy forward holistically. In 2019, the company presented the Taycan, the brand's first all-electric sports car. Almost 40 percent of the Porsche vehicles delivered in Europe in 2021 were already electrified - as plug-in hybrids or fully electric models. Globally, the proportion is almost 25 percent.

Attractive and fast-growing eBike market

The sports car manufacturer now wants to make greater use of this know-how in the attractive and fast-growing e-bike market. The company is pursuing a clear strategy: Porsche's expertise is supplemented by the market-specific knowledge of Fazua in the field of drive systems and by Ponooc, which has a broad portfolio of investments in the field of micromobility and mobility platforms. The establishment of the joint ventures and the Fazua transaction are subject to approval by the responsible antitrust authorities. As long as these tests are not completed, Porsche AG will not announce any further details. Regardless of these activities, Porsche continues to work with its long-standing partner Rotwild on its current eBike models in the tried and tested manner. In March 2021, the company launched its interpretation of exclusive electric bikes with the Porsche eBike Sport and the eBike Cross. In addition, Porsche Digital GmbH is building a platform for digital services related to the cycling experience under the Cyklær brand.
