Ducati V21L Electric Motorcycle Prototype
Ducati isn't treating electric like a side project. Ducati V21L Electric Motorcycle Prototype doesn't look like the oddball EVs we've seen so far, it looks and acts like a proper race bike, just without the deafening exhaust note. Call it a silent missile, and maybe the first electric superbike that could make purists sit up and pay ...
Not only is it the platform with which Ducati will tackle the MotoE championship, starting in 2023 as the sole supplier, but it can also give us some clues as to some of the solutions Ducati are experimenting with in regards to a future production-based electric motorcycle available to all. The V21L marks the beginning of Ducati's future.
