2023: year zero

“We’re living in extraordinary times. I’m struggling to believe that this is reality and not still a dream! The first electric Ducati to take to the track is exceptional not only because it is unique, but also for the feat it represents, a challenge in terms of both its performance goals and very limited timeframe. And this is what makes the work done by the project’s entire team so incredible. Today’s result is ample reward for all the effort made over recent months. We haven’t finished yet of course, and we know the road is still long, but we’ve laid a first important ‘brick’.”

“Testing the MotoE prototype on track was really exciting because it marks the start of an important chapter of Ducati history. The bike is lightweight and already well balanced. And as well as this, the ergonomics and the connection when you first open the throttle are really very similar to those of a MotoGP bike. If it wasn’t for how quiet it is and the fact that we decided to limit the power to just 70% during this test, I would have thought I was out on my bike.”
