Maybe Ducati doesn't have consumer-level electric motorcycle , but the company won't stop producing small two-wheeled electric vehicles. days ago, Ducati just released two new folding electric bicycles. Both electric bikes were released under Ducati’s Scrambler brand, which has grown into a heavyweight lifestyle brand in recent years.
Ducati has used it to make foldable electric bikes before, and the latest models released recently seem to be sticking to their own position.
The new SCR-X and SCR-E GT are both fat tire folding electric bikes that use the 60 N Bafang rear hub motor for power.
The 48V system on both bikes is usually related to higher power, but the EU company was forced to limit the speed of the electric bike to only 25km/h to comply with local e-bike regulations. The
SCR-E GT is more road-oriented and comes with 20-inch street tires that match spoke wheels.
The 500Wh battery is said to provide 50 miles (80 kilometers) of battery life, and they are also removable so that they can be charged outside the bike. Given the pedal-assisted nature of these e-bikes, this may be a reasonable range rating.
On the other hand, the SCR-X is one of these electric bicycles that pays more attention to off-roading.
Although both bikes have front suspension, the SCR-E GT also includes rear suspension, porous tires and magnetic rims, which should perform better in more dynamic off-road riding conditions.
The larger battery with a capacity of 614Wh will also provide more storage energy, which is very important for e-bikes riding in more harsh off-road conditions - as these conditions often require more energy from the battery.
SCR-X uses a stepped frame, which will make it easier for riders to install the bike without swinging their legs on the tall saddle, while the SCR-E GT uses a stepped frame.
cyclists should be able to expect the two new models to be available at Ducati dealers and online later this month, with prices not yet announced.
It is reported that these two new models were launched after Ducati entered the electric bicycle market.
The motorcycle company first launched an electric mountain bike through its collaboration with THOK Bike in 2018, marking the company's first electric two-wheeler .
At the time, Ducati had previewed its future electric motorcycles, but now, the company is still making excuses for not being able to develop electric motorcycles for years.
Ducati has launched several more electric mountain bikes in 2019. By 2020, it has started playing with electric folding e-bikes again and brought some interesting models with fairly new features like frame-integrated lighting.
Ducati continues to release new electric mountain bikes in 2020 and improves the performance and quality level of the electric bike.
By early 2022, the company released its first electric road bike designed for consumers of high-end racing . However, this bike also has a Ducati-style price tag - up to 7690 euros .
Ducati may have made more progress in e-bikes compared to the electric motorcycle department, but the latter has also recently seen some headlines.
Earlier this month, Ducati announced the specifications of its V21L racing electric motorcycle prototype, which will be the only model used in the FIM MotoE racing series next season.
Ducati has confirmed that it will produce at least 18 of these bikes for the 2023 season’s FIM MotoE racing series. Each V21L electric motorcycle will be able to output 110 kilowatts (147 horsepower) and 140 Nm of torque.
The car is said to have reached a top speed of 275km/h on a test track in Mugero, Italy.
Despite carrying a considerable 18kWh battery pack, Ducati was able to reduce the weight of the V21L prototype to just 225 kg. But it's still a bulky bike, but it's significantly less weight compared to the 282kg Energica Ego electric motorcycle it will replace in the 2023 season.
