You seem to put a lot of effort into electric vehicles.

Italian motorcycle Ducati (Ducati) has surprisingly released an e-scooter. After the previous "PRO-I EVO" and "PRO-II", it has evolved into the "PRO-III", which has the most improved technology.

Keyless entry e-scooter

The "PRO-III" is designed to connect to a dedicated app. A tag with an embedded NFC chip is now activated by bringing it close to the LED screen in the center of the steering wheel.

On the screen, you can set the maximum speed to 6, 15, 20, 25 km/h, check information such as speed and battery level, and there is also a USB port so you can charge your smartphone.

The drive system is equipped with a 350W brushless motor and a 468Wh rechargeable battery, and can run up to 50km on a single charge. The tires are 10 inch tubeless, so you don't have to worry about punctures.

The PRO-III, which has a strangely 90's bike-like design, is priced at 799 euros (about 105,000 yen). Ducati's e-scooter is evolving in a relatively fast span, so I feel like more and more will come out in the future. However, there are various e-bikes, so I'm wondering which one to choose.

I'll make an EV bike

Although it's good to jump on the bandwagon and sell electric vehicles, when will the long-awaited large electric bike appear? The answer is 2023, and Ducati is now preparing an electric bike for the "MotoE" racing series.

Ducati enters a new era of electric. Following an agreement signed between Ducati and Dorna Sports, Ducati will produce the bikes for the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup starting from the 2023 season.Learn more here – https://t.co /xVU9diTNLB#Ducati#Dorna#MotoE#Electric pic.twitter.com/Wd24jiTLrc

According to electrek, Ducati is currently researching a bike from Italian EV motorcycle maker Energica. Since they had been driving gasoline cars for a long time, they had no know-how. It's still at the stage of image painting, but what kind of thing will be completed?
