JAKARTA - Vehicle manufacturers are currently busy producing EVs (Electric Vehicles). What's more, electric vehicles are on the rise in order to reduce carbon gas disposal.

However, there is one two-wheeled manufacturer who has not yet decided whether to produce an electric motorbike or not, namely Ducati.

Ducati has actually prepared an electric motorbike for the MotoE competition, namely Ducati V21L which will pave the 2023 racing season. V21L itself has conducted a series of trials to be prepared for the MotoE team and participants.

Even so, Ducati has not yet decided whether to produce electric motors for mass production or not. Reporting from the early March AutoBlog, North American Ducati Chief Executive, Jason Chinnock said that his party was in the process of increasing and performance of batteries on electric motors.

He also added that the development could take years. Jason also said that Ducati had difficulty determining the appropriate electrical motor technology as needed.

Then, Ducati also still needs a large storage of energy so that it remains practical when used. "This compact motorbike and battery with a wide range require careful development and accuracy, so that this product can be accepted by consumers," Jason said.
