DUCATI SELLS OUT E-BIKE A few months ago we brought you the news that Ducati was dipping its toe into the e-bike market with the Mig- RR - a collaboration with Thok e-bikes. Limited to just 50 examples worldwide, the exclusive MIG-RR sold out within three weeks of going on sale. Designed as a “race ready” enduro, built with the very best components and featuring a second battery and Evoc E-Ride backpack to carry it, the MIG-RR Limited Edition is Ducati’s top-of-the-range E-bike. Like a true Ducati, the MIG-RR is assembled in Italy and features top of the line componentry including Öhlins suspension, carbon fibre wheels and electronic gear shift, not to mention the exclusive design and unique Ducati Corse graphics. The new Ducati MIG-RR Limited Edition 86 KIWI RIDER bikes will be delivered pre-customised, with suspension calibrated as per individual customers’ requests, starting next month. Completing the new 2020 E-bike range are the Ducati MIG-S, an All Mountain model with a real sports feel for those who want agility, performance and fun whatever the terrain, and the E-Scrambler, a Trekking model with high-grade components that’s perfect for city streets or country roads, ideal for freedom lovers who like to get around in style. While the E-bike market may be a departure from what we expect from any motorcycle manufacturer let alone Ducati, the company says it has received great feedback from the debut of the range at EICMA and the sales success of these first few weeks underscore the soundness of the technical decisions that were made.
