Ducati has decided not to proceed with expanding the current model range with an electric motorcycle, at least for now.

Ducati Vice President of sales, Francesco Milicia, admitted the Bologna-based manufacturer current view on an electric motorcycle recently.

“Will we produce an electric Ducati soon? No. We think that for the kind of machine we produce now, an electric motorcycle cannot guarantee the pleasure, the range, the weight etc., that Ducati riders expect.”

However, understanding the race for zero-emission, Milicia revealed that they are exploring other solutions, precisely Porsche idea of using synthetic fuel.

“We are also looking carefully at other solutions for zero or minimal emissions, such as synthetic fuel. Other brands in our group such as Porsche are looking at it and it’s something we are looking at in the medium term,” Milicia said.
