The Ducati Zero is a small, light, full
electric superbike. Taking into account the design of the contemporary
combustion powered Ducati motorbikes designers explored a new direction,
focused on the possibilities created by the components of the electric drivetrain.
The result is a more minimalistic and smooth approach, with a contrast two-toned body dividing the sculptural- from the technical parts. The design of
the motorbike is inspired by the attack of a snake resulting into an aggressive
and forward moving stance. The Zero logo on the side of the bike changes color
regarding to the driving mode that is selected, either eco, strada or corsa,
proudly presenting the colors of the Italian national flag. The vertical DLR
and Zero logo also double as indicator lights. The hart of the Ducati Zero, the
electric motor, is displayed through a transparent part in the body. The
multilink suspension is fixed on a suspended part of the body and is embraced
by the swing arm, making it a compact and integrated solution. Below the white
metallic sculptural body there are channels for the airflow of passive cooled
batteries.
