A relaxed one-to-one interview with Roberto Canè, eMobility Director of Ducati, talking to Lamb Chop at the Silverstone MotoGP, with some good under-the-fairing video amongst other things:

Very interesting! I do like the stressed member approach even though it's more correctly battery-in-frame (just a big voluminous frame!).

Still disagree with Ducati's conclusions regarding the readiness of the tech, their official corporate line remains firmly icebrained.

min 15;08 for the screen capture. Not sure if my image is going to attach.

The bolt on steering stem has detachedfrom the battery/frame.


The term is road bikes for production.  I think the sentiment is that a racer replica to be like a current 1000cc one isn't realistic.

Yeah, I did notice that. That's what you get with a race bike though, it's designed to do one thing and crash well isn't that thing.
