Ducati is a forerunner when it comes to adopting and embracing disruptive technology. Ducati had branched out into producing and marketing an electric bike.
A few months back, I mentioned that many big brands are jumping on the electric vehicle bandwagon. Ducati is one of them. And this time, they have taken it upon themselves to create an electric kick scooter instead.
But what has got the whole industry excited is Ducati’s latest project—the Ducati Pro-III. The iconic Italian motorcycle brand is diving headfirst into the electric motorcycle market with the launch of this innovative, ultra-sleek electric kick scooter.
PRO-III is the most technically advanced scooter in the Ducati Urban e-mobility line, thanks to the connection to the Ducati Urban e-Mobility User App and the use of the innovative NFC technology.
The e-scooter arrives equipped with a token that allows you to start the scooter simply by bringing it close to the display, allowing the use of the vehicle only to the owner in possession of the chip.
PRO-III is powered by a 350W brushless motor capable of providing 515W of peak power and a 468Wh enhanced battery that guarantees significant autonomy covering up to 50 km with a single charge.
The expansive 3.2″ LED display allows easy monitoring and managing of all functions, including choosing between the four riding modes (6, 15, 20, 25 km/h). The e-scooter’s display comes equipped with a USB port that allows you to recharge the smartphone or other devices while in use.
Features
- User App: Integrated app available on the App Store and Google Play, entirely designed and developed by Italdesign. Designed as an actual “virtual garage”, it allows you to register more products from the Ducati Urban e-Mobility range. Thanks to the app, I can constantly update you on the central performance of your vehicle, its location and request assistance in real-time via a chat.
- Performance: Cover up to 50Km thanks to the 350W brushless motor (peak power 515W) and the enhanced 468Wh battery. Enjoy complete stability and comfort with the 10″ tubeless tyres.
- Power Up on the GO: Use the Ducati Urban e-Mobility and charge your mobile on the go with the USB port integrated into the display.
- NFC : Switch on the display and start your e-scooter simply by bringing the NFC token to the display and waiting for the “pass” sign to appear.
