The Groundbreaking Ducati V21L
The Ducati V21L used in the MotoE racing series is truly groundbreaking. It can reach a top speed of 171 miles per hour and features a motor that is roughly the size of a soda can. Surprisingly, the V21L can out-accelerate many of the fastest production motorcycles available. Weighing only 225 kilograms, it is incredibly lightweight for a high-performance electric motorcycle. Its carbon fiber battery housing helps keep the weight down while contributing to its impressive performance.
