MotoE: Ducati Begins Production Of V21L Race Bikes

Ducati has officially begin the production of the V21L electric motorcycles that is set to compete at the 2023 MotoE World Championship. 

  • Ducati is the official MotoE supplier for the 2023 season replacing Energica.
  • The Ducati V21L will be used by competing teams for the MotoE World Championship. 

The Italian motorcycle company enters a new chapter in 2023 after they were signed as the new MotoE race bike supplier replacing Energica. 

The Ducati V21L were unveiled last year after undergoing rigorous testing by a number of riders including Dcuati’s Michele Pirro, Chaz Davies and Alex De Angelis. 

 

However, the V21L itself marks a big step for the Borgo Panigale outfit as they enter a new world of electrification and at the same time promoting sustainability and clean energy.

“The start of production of the Ducati MotoE is a historic moment for our company, which with this project is thoroughly studying the technologies of the future for the world of motorcycling,” said Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati. 

He also lamented how the V21L will also marks the firm’s ambition towards building an electric road bike that delivers similar excitement to the current petrol powered machines. 

“It is an important area of experimentation, in which we are investing to build know-how, so that we will be ready when battery technology should allow the creation of an exciting electric road bike with the weight, performance and range that enthusiasts expect from a Ducati.

“We are therefore embarking on this new adventure with the aim of developing the people and skills within the company to shape what the character of a future Ducati electric road bike might be.

 

“The MotoE project represents a decisive step for Ducati to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions on the product side, alongside research into synthetic fuels (eFuel) that can reduce the total CO2 emissions of internal combustion engines to zero. 

“Environmental sustainability is something that all individuals and all companies must consider a priority if the delicate balance of the planet is to be preserved,” he added.

Fans of MotoE will get a closer look at the Ducati V21L race bike at Jerez Test between 6-8 March and Barcelona on 3-5 April. 

Ducati Officially Presents The 2023 MotoE V21L Race Bike

Ducati has officially presented the all-new 2023 MotoE race bike, the V21L, at an exclusive event in Modena, Italy.

  • Ducati is the official manufacturer and supplier for MotoE beginning in 2023.
  • The V21L is Ducati’s first attempt at developing an electric motorcycle.

Overall, the V21L looks pretty much the same as the prototype that Ducati tested earlier this year.

However, the finished product looks refined, with Ducati adding a touch of colour to the electric race bike.

Nevertheless, like every Ducati in its stable, the V21L continue to represent racing DNA with carbon fibre components and exposed components to show off its glorious grain.

Although the V21L is the Italian company’s first attempt at a fully functional electric motorcycle, you can easily recognize that it is, in fact, a Ducati.

In addition, peak power is claimed at 110kW or approximately 150hp along with 140Nm and can reach a top speed of 275km/h.

The bike weighs a massive 225 kilograms, with half of the weight coming from the 18 kWh battery unit connected directly to the swingarm.

According to Ducati, the V21L also meets Dorna’s MotoE requirements of seven laps on a GP track.

Other key components include:

  • Ohlins NPX 25/30 pressurized fork
  • Ohlins TTX36 fully adjustable rear shock
  • Ohlins steering damper
  • specially-designed Brembo brakes

Also, Ducati claimed that the V21L features a specially-built double circuit liquid cooling system that allows the bike to get recharged without waiting for the battery pack, motor and inverter to cool off.

The race bike can be plugged directly into charge and can reach 80 per cent of full charge in just 45 minutes.

Jentera Ducati MotoE Jalani Ujian Di Vallelunga

Ducati telah berkongsi imej terkini mengenai jentera prototaip elektrik sulung yang akan dibekalkan sebagai jentera lumba rasmi MotoE World Cup bermula 2023.

Pengeluar motosikal berprestasi tinggi dari Itali itu giat membangunkan jentera elektrik serba baharu sejak diumumkan sebagai pembekal utama MotoE bermula 2023 menggantikan Energica Ego yang diguna pakai sejak 2019.

Selepas didedahkan kepada umum menerusi sesi pra-ujian pada Disember lalu, Ducati akhirnya mendedahkan video dan gambar yang lebih terperinci mesin MotoE – kod nama V21L – menjalani sesi ujian di Litar Vallelunga, Itali.

Bekas pelumba MotoGP, Alex de Angelis dan pelumba uji Ducati, Michelle Pirro dipertanggungjawabkan untuk menguji jentera serba baharu itu.

Walaupun ini merupakan percubaan sulung Ducati dalam pembangunan jentera elektrik, Pengarah eMobility Ducati, Roberto Cane mendakwa syarikat itu tidak pernah berhenti dalam proses pembangunan.

“Sejak kami membawa prototaip Ducati MotoE untuk sesi ujian kali pertama, projek pembangunan tidak pernah berhenti walaupun untuk sektika.

“Usaha keras pasukan telah membuahkan hasil dan memberi kami kepuasan.

“Dalam tempoh empat bulan sahaja, prototaip kami telah berjaya mendominasi beberapa litar utama di Itali di samping memberikan respon yang positif. Walaupun masih banyak yang perlu dilakukan tapi kami berada di landasan betul,” jelasnya.

Sementara itu, musim 2022 MotoE – yang juga musim terakhir bersama mesin Energica – akan membuka tirai pada 30 April ini.

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
