Roberto Canè, Ducati eMobility Director: "We are experiencing a truly extraordinary moment. I find it hard to believe it is reality and still not a dream! The first electric Ducati on the track is exceptional not only for its uniqueness but also for the type of undertaking: challenging both for its performance objectives and for its extremely short timescales. Precisely for this reason, the work of the whole team dedicated to the project has been incredible and today's result repays us for the efforts made in recent months. We are certainly not finished yet; indeed, we know that the road ahead is still very long, but in the meantime, we have laid a first important 'brick'."

The Panigale maker said that one of the biggest challenges faced by it while developing its first racing bike was related to the ‘size, weight and range of the batteries.’

Needless to say, the company will be utilising its racing experience in the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup as a fundamental support for product R&D for its road bikes. The technology evolved from this racing experience will help shape the company's road bikes for the future.
