Audi has developed a prototype electric bicycle. Read about it here:

It is very cool...no question.

Now they may call it Ducaudi (that's what we say in Europe after the acquisition...)

My guess is that it was another EV PR concept project.  I haven't heard a peep since the initial report.

So far there has been no indication that Ducati has the slightest interest in electric propulsion.  But I think they should give it a try.  With Audi's backing, it would be a nice addition to their model line and get them some valuable free exposure in the world's press.

24hrs Le Mans etc. - Audi wins it all with their hybrids. maybe it helps to push the motorcycle of the future. hybrid - that is another discussion.
