Ducati will be the sole manufacturer of the MotoE World Cup starting in 2023. And the contract of the existing Energica manufacturer will expire at the end of the 2022 season. Therefore, Ducati is seizing the time to test his own MotoE car, and this electric car has also been announced for the first time recently.
As can be seen from the high-definition photos released, the overall shape and design of the motorcycle is not far from the MotoE design sketch released by Ducati in October, and the front part of the car is not much different from the Energica Ego Corsa race car currently in use.
The carbon fiber and composite body behind the front of the car are clearly influenced by Ducati's own MotoGP racing car, and the angular "fuel tank" shape and carbon fiber rear/subframe part seem to be a whole, and the lightweight design of the swingarm is very eye-catching.
A series of specific parameter information for the Ducati MotoE prototype (codenamed "V21L") is not made public. For example, battery, motor and controller architecture and so on. From the pictures and appearance alone, only the Hlins front and rear suspension, Brembo brakes and Marchesini forged wheels can be seen.
As for how Ducati installed the battery and motor, how much the car has and how much battery life it has, we don't fully know. Ducati's goal is to provide high-performance and lightweight electric motorcycles for all FIM Enel MotoE World Cup participants. In addition to better performance, the focus of the project is on the control of weight and the consistency of power transmission during the race, and more information about this electric motorcycle is believed to be further disclosed later.
