We have inserted distinctive Ducati stylistic elements and adapted them to the structural and design requirements and to the typical purposes of a bike, and of course considering the users\u2019 needs\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Designers and engineers worked together to create an e-bike with a very clean and functional style. The <strong>battery<\/strong> is <strong>integrated<\/strong> into the frame and recalls motorcycles fuel tanks with the typical Ducati Red color and arched shapes, becoming itself a styling element.<\/p>\n<p>The LED lights are also integrated into the frame, the suspension fork, the 20&#8243;x4&#8243; fat tires with Kevlar anti-puncture technology mounted on double-shoulder aluminum rims and the rear mudguard, in addition to accentuating the racing style of the bike, ensure the maximum comfort while driving, even on the most irregular routes.<\/p>\n<p>For further information on purchasing and availability,\u00a0visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ducatiurbanemobility.it\/product\/urban-e\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ducatiurbanemobility.it<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Download the high resolution images <a href=\"http:\/\/www.italdesign.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Italdesign-x-Ducati-Urban-E.zip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italdesign and Ducati together to present Urban-E, the folding e-bike ideal for urban mobility, combining innovative and ergonomic solutions with a unique style.
