Ducati's Pretty And Pretty Expensive E-Bikes Are Coming To The US
Ducati's Pretty And Pretty Expensive E-Bikes Are Coming To The US-April 2024

Ducati TK-01RR

Soon, you’ll be able to buy a Ducati e-bike in the United States. Yesterday (Dec. 9), the company announced plans to bring three models over from Europe: E-Scrambler, MIG-S and TK-01RR. The E-Scrambler is intended for street use, while the MIG-S and TK-01RR are mountain bikes.

The bikes, which are built by an Italian company called Thok that is licensing the Ducati name, according to , will vary greatly in price. In true Ducati fashion, though, none of them are cheap.

The E-Scrambler, designed for urban journeys, will be the least expensive of the bunch starting at $3,995. Powered by a Shimano Steps E7000 motor, the E-Scrambler can supply 250 W of power and 60 Nm of torque. It also packs a 504 Wh battery, though Ducati doesn’t supply a figure for range or charging time on its .

Ducati E-Scrambler

For reference, Harley-Davidson’s recently launched, trekking-minded start at $3,399 but climb all the way up to $4,999 if you opt for the top-of-the-line Rush/Cty Speed model. Most of Harley’s e-bikes produce 250 W of power like the E-Scrambler, but start with slightly larger batteries at the low end, at 529 Wh.

From the E-Scrambler we move up to the MIG-S, a performance-minded mountain bike with a more powerful Shimano Steps E8000 motor delivering 70 Nm of torque and a larger battery pack of 630 Wh. The MIG-S offers 150mm of suspension travel in front and 140mm in back, thanks to a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork, Fox Float TPS rear shock and four-caliper Sram Guide T brakes. It’ll start at $5,295.

At the top of the range is the TK-01RR, an enduro powered by Shimano’s EP8 motor that is lighter than those in the other two models but produces the most torque, at 85 Nm. According to Ducati, that translates to 400 percent maximum pedal assist — a very healthy jolt of help for climbing those steep grades.

The TK-01RR incorporates an Öhlins fork and rear shocks with 180 mm of travel in the front and 170 mm at the rear; it also rides on Pirelli Scorpion S tires specifically designed for electric mountain bikes, and power is transferred via a 12-speed drivetrain. At $7,995, the TK-01RR certainly isn’t cheap, though at least it’s distinguished by a sporty Ducati Corse livery. Unlike the E-Scrambler and MIG-S, however, this one won’t be available to buy until February.

There are 24 Ducati dealers in the U.S. that will sell these bikes; you can find one in your area on the .

This Is The 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback And Yes It Comes With A Stick Shift
The 2022 Honda Civic sedan looks like a solid improvement over its predecessor, except there’s one problem: The manual transmission is gone, leaving only a continuously variable transmission. But fear not, 11th-gen Civic shoppers, there is a hatchback, and that one gets the stick. Here’s a first look. A...

Hot Wheels Unleashed Is Way Prettier Than A Toy Car Game Has Any Right To Be
Like any budding gearhead, I had bunch of Hot Wheels growing up. Too many, in fact. Small Sterilite containers full of the things. I was proud of my collection, but in retrospect, I cost my parents a small fortune in diecasts. Back in my day, you couldn’t just like...

The Cops Followed A Man Home And Arrested Him In His Garage. The Supreme Court Said It Was Unconstitutional
Some police must think that the rule of law doesn’t apply to them because of their position. As the , that’s what happened with one man in Northern California who had an officer enter his garage and arrest him for drunk driving. In late 2016, Arthur Lange was on...

Batman Movies Always Cast The Perfect Car For Bruce Wayne
Car casting in movies is very hit or miss, if you’ll please excuse the pun. Sometimes the choice of car is perfect for the role, like the E34 in Ronin, and sometimes even James Bond struggles to find the right car, like his 1987 Lincoln Mark VII LSC in...

I'm Hearing Reports That F9 Might Actually Be Good
It used to be very important to have a movie critic, or a set of movie critics, that you trusted. Because, at heart, movie reviews are service journalism, in that I need to know if paying $15 and spending two hours in a theater is a good use of...
