Ducati's electric bicycle makes more torque than some 500cc motorcycles
Italian marque Ducati has revealed its first carbon-framed e-enduro bike, the Powerstage RR Limited edition at the Bike Festival in Misano. Limited to just 230 units globally, it carries a premium price tag of €11,990 (around Rs. 10.5 lakh) in the European region.

Shimano's EP801 system powers the high-end e-enduro bike
Teaming up with Shimano, Ducati has equipped the Powerstage RR Limited edition with its sophisticated EP801 system. This top-of-the-line e-bike system churns out a maximum power of 500w and an impressive peak torque of 85Nm. The EP8 motor boosts the rider's pedaling power by up to 400%, making uphill rides a breeze. The lightweight carbon fiber frame further aids the e-bike's overall performance.
It features high-quality components for a premium experience

The e-cycle sports a unique "mullet setup" with a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel for improved agility and obstacle-clearing capabilities. The use of carbon fiber in its wheels reduces unsprung weight and enhances maneuverability. The bike features Öhlins suspension hardware at both ends, ensuring optimal performance on various terrains.
