Ducati, A Renowned Italian Motorcycle Brand, Has Just Revealed The Specifications Of Its First Electric Motorcycle. Designated Model V 21 L, It Is A Super Sport Bike Capable Of Reaching A Top Speed Of 275 Kilometers Per Hour And A Maximum Power Of 150 Horsepower.
The electric motorcycle produced by Ducati had been shown in photos and videos, but the Italian brand had so far omitted information about its technical features.
Although it is just a prototype and not produced in series, except for the MotoE Electric Motorcycle World Cup starting in 2023, the project is of great strategic importance to Ducati, as it allows the development of knowledge for the future.
The aim is to maintain the approach that has always fed the “DNA” of the Bologna-based brand: to experiment with technological solutions in the racing world and work to ensure that everything developed in this area can be transferred to street bikes worldwide.
-
It surpassed the T-Cross, Creta, and Tracker: with nearly 8,000 units sold, the Volkswagen Tera was the best-selling SUV in March 2026.
-
Honda performs miracles in fuel consumption with a hatch that marks 13.2 km/l in the city and 15 km/l on the highway, leaving Polo, HB20, 208, and Onix behind and becoming a reference among compact cars without resorting to turbo or hybrid systems.

With 122 hp, fuel consumption of up to 17.7 km/l, and a trunk capacity of 440 liters, this hybrid SUV impresses even though it costs up to R$ 47,000 more than the Yaris — meet the Toyota Corolla Cross.
Ducati’s CEO, Claudio Domenicali, stated: “The world is going through a difficult time, and environmental sustainability is an aspect that every person and every company must consider a priority if we want to maintain the delicate balance that exists on earth. We understand this need and have sought a challenge that allows us to contribute to the common goal of reducing CO2 emissions while maintaining faith in our DNA linked to motorcycling. We agree to develop the highest performing electric trail motorcycle that current technology allows and use this project as a laboratory to build our future.”
To create this super powerful electric motorcycle prototype, Ducati collaborated with designers from the brand itself and from the company’s competitive arm, known as Ducati Corse. The development process was similar to that used in the manufacturing of bicycles and included the use of lightweight and durable materials.
The V21L electric motorcycle aims to be one of the fastest and most powerful in the world, and as such, Ducati hopes it will be capable of competing with combustion motorcycles in terms of performance and speed. Watch the Ducati electric motorcycle in action in the video below:
The Ducati MotoE Electric Motorcycle Has A Total Weight Of 225 Kilograms, 12 Kilograms Less Than The Minimum Requirements Imposed By Dorna And FIM For A Motorcycle Capable Of Completing The Race Distance.
Additionally, it can achieve maximum power and torque values of 110 kW (150 horsepower) and 140 Nm respectively, which allowed it to reach a speed of 275 kilometers per hour on a track like Mugello (Italy).
The combination of years of experience, dedication, and hard work from the Ducati team resulted in the creation of an electric motorcycle with innovative technological solutions. Starting with the battery, which is the most complex component in terms of mass and dimensions.
The battery of the Ducati electric motorcycle is characterized by a shape that has been specifically designed to follow the natural course of the motorcycle’s central area. This ensures that the battery is always in the ideal position for optimal performance. The battery has a capacity of 18 kWh and weighs 110 kg. There is a charging connector that can support 20 kW inserted at the rear of the battery.
The motor, which weighs 21 kilograms and has a maximum rotation speed of 18,000 revolutions per minute, was developed by a partner following the specifications and techniques provided by Ducati. The inverter, weighing just 5 kilograms, was derived from a high-performance model used in electric vehicle competitions. An 800V voltage (with the battery fully charged) is used throughout the system to optimize the power of the electric drivetrain and, consequently, the performance and autonomy of the vehicle.
Ducati is also working to ensure that the V21L electric motorcycle is as safe as possible, using advanced braking and suspension technologies to ensure that riders can feel confident and secure while riding the motorcycle. Furthermore, Ducati is working to ensure that the V21L has good range, so that riders can compete for several laps without needing to stop to charge the battery.
