Re: Ducati electric superbike?
It looks just as one would expect, doesn't it. -Suggests that the designers have got that about right..
Or have I seen that before.:
Longer travel on the front forks hinting at coping with the weight of the battery ?

Was it BMW who piped engine noise via the cars stereo in one of the electric sports cars?C00kiemonster wrote:Ooh - me likey. Not sure without the sound but i suppose we will need to start to get used to it...
You could imagine some kind of speakers being developed for your lid so that you could hear the engine/exhaust noise.

Re: Ducati electric superbike?
it is surprising there are no cooling vents for the battery and electronics, they are more efficient the colder they are .Rossgo wrote:If they cut gills into that sheet of fairing I think that would look lovely. But that will defo only be for the rich lads of the world lol
