As more and more car and motorcycle manufacturers get into electric bicycles, we’re seeing more high-performance e-bikes loaded with tech. Among the big names making it big in the e-bike scene, we have iconic Italian motorcycle brand Ducati, who, over the course of the past few years, has been impressing with its new e-bike models catering to a wide spectrum of riders.has a range of folding commuter e-bikes designed for urban use.
Showcased in all its glory at the Bike Festival in Misano, the new electric enduro MTB takes the ultra capable Powerstage RR, and makes it even better. The Limited Edition e-enduro bike flaunts nothing but the very best components, key of which are the full carbon fiber frame, top-tier suspension, and of course, its punchy motor., the Ducati Powerstage RR LTD is powered by the Shimano EP801 system.
Ducati proudly boasts that the Powerstage RR LTD is the brand’s first electric enduro bike with a full-carbon frame. The parts of the frame subject to high loads are reinforced with extra carbon layers, with the rear triangle, headstack, and motor housing beefed up for more durability. The carbon goodies go beyond the frame, too,with the wheels also made of carbon fiber, reducing unsprung weight and increasing maneuverability.
The Ducati Powerstage RR LTD wouldn't be called as such if it wasn’t a limited-release model. In total, only 230 examples of this bike are scheduled for production. The price? A steep 11,990 Euros – a few hundred Euros more expensive than the current generation Ducati Monster. So yes, an e-bike that’s more expensive than a premium motorcycle. At least you get a color scheme inspired by the Ducati Desmosedici GP23 race bike.
