Ducati has unveiled a new electric kick scooter called the Pro-III. The company claims that it is the most technically advanced scooter in the Ducati Urban e-mobility line. This is not the first time that Ducati is launching an electric kick scooter. Previously, the company had launched the Pro-I Evo electric kick-scooter. And from the very first glance, it did look like a rebadged Xiaomi electric kick-scooter. Moreover, this scooter also shared the same parts like side covers and wheels as the Xiaomi M365.
But, Ducati claims that the new Pro-III electric kick scooter gets all the latest features. The most highlighting one is IoT integration via Bluetooth smartphone connectivity. This connects the rider’s phone and comes with a host of configurations via the Ducati Urban e-Mobility User App. There’s this fancy keycard that automatically unlocks the scooter when you put it near the display.
The scooter gets a 350W brushless electric motor which pumps out 515W of power. The lithium-ion battery of 468Wh is neatly placed below the scooter floor bed. As per Ducati, this electric kick scooter can give a range of up to 50 kilometres on a single charge. There are a total of four selectable riding modes. And each can propel the scooter at a top speed of 6, 15, 20, and 25 kilometres per hour. Furthermore, riders can also charge their phone with the use of a USB port beneath the instrument cluster.
Ducati recently unveiled the Streetfighter V4 SP top-of-the-range model and Streetfighter V2. In addition to this, the motorcycle maker has also launched new products for the Indian market as well. This includes the Hypermotard 950 RVE & SP variants, Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse, and more. Ducati global mentioned that their sales are on the rise. In the third quarter, the sales figure stood at 49,693 units, which undercuts the 48,042 units sold for the entire 2020. Moreover, the company mentioned that its sales at the end of the first nine months in 2021 are the best in its history.
