Most awaited Electric bike

Ducati electric bike

Ducati has had a steep history in the racing world. Ducati has always produced motorbike that lead the example of innovation and technology. Therefore, now they are working towards a mission to make an extraordinary electric motorbike. One bike is already in the making, and the moto behind that bike is “for tomorrow” according to the Head of innovation of Ducati, Pierluigi Zampieri.

As the world constantly revolves around the new products that are developed comprising the technology and innovation, for every entrepreneur in order to succeed they need to cope up with the pace of technology and innovation. And if you are a manufacturer of bikes then it is the only way you can generate revenue. Electric bikes are a part of the future, and in order to hold a strong market position Ducati needs to focus on them. However, still the direction of this innovation is blur. Zampieri told MCN that they are still developing bikes while maintaining the aim of the organization. But in order to construct an electric bike one needs to balance weight, performance and its range. The first model may not be as extraordinary as we expect it to be, because storing an electric density might not be as high as in the regular motor bikes. The main challenge Ducati is facing comprising is its technicality while not compromising on its quality, performance and weight targets. The news of Ducati's electric bike is all over the internet thanks to the motorbike blogs and moto vlogs.

Zampieri continuous, that a company is considered to be a state of art, generating ideas, developing products with new concepts while keeping the competitor's product in mind. The drawback in the industry of bikes is that it is a small market in comparison to other markets and presenting innovative ideas is a hard task.

Ducati faced a similar problem a couple of years back when their V-twin superbike's lifespan reached the end while its performance was impossible. Later the solution was moved to the V4 model. While constructing the model of V4, several discussions were held under the subject that whether the customers will appreciate or not. Similar, discussions are being held while coming with the idea of electric motorbike. A customer might want such a bike in the present but will he crave for it in the future. This is where the dilemma lies in. A day might come that Ducati's customers will crave for an electric motor bike, but it is difficult to know when or till what extent. Constructing a model is not a tough job, but when to launch that model is what holds all the importance. Another issue Ducati faces is maintaining the Italian Stallion dream, a bike that is bad tempered yet classy and worth smooth rides. The head of Ducati, says it might be a great challenge, but they are confident that they can construct an electric bike with pure Ducati character.

A challenge every bike manufacturer is facing is that these days kids do not have posters in their rooms just like kids back in 1900s had in their rooms. The market will only last long if an enthusiasm is seen in young generation. Bikes should be considered as an object that they want to own rather than a challenge and something that sparks your interest. Although there are many challenges to be faced by the company itself, but its electric motor bike is the most awaited in the market.

Airbag suits for Bikers

motor tech air

It is surprising that motorbikes of road traffic polices is not equipped with air bags as standards. While police forces across the UK have been testing airbag systems over the recent months, Gloucestershire Police was the first force in the country to equip their motorcycles with BKS air suits. They were the first traffic officers to equip their force. The safety of a biker is as compulsory as any driver in a car. In fact, police officers on bikes are on higher risks of accidents and encountering accidents. The air bag technology has made life easier by decreasing the ratio of injuries that occur in an accident. Gloucester Police equipped their bikes with Alpinestars Tech- Air vest system inside their made to measure kangaroo leather BKS suits. BKS won the title of Professional Protective Equipment and was the first one to supply, standard leather suits for motorbike officers in the year 1990. This initiative of air bags was to keep the progression of this force safe and sound while performing their tasks.

This innovation offers leather one and two-piece suits and jackets with worlds most advanced internal air bag from Alpine Stars (in photo). The Tech-Air race framework is totally independent, which means there are no bicycle to-rider setups required. This guarantees the ultimate comfort in accommodation, opportunity and adaptability. At the point when completely blown, the framework's airbag offers basic insurance to the back, kidneys, chest and shoulders. In addition, with a straightforward overhaul, the flexible firmware enables the Race System to be changed to the Street mode setting for non-race use in street and rough terrain circumstances. The designs of the suit must fit and you should also remove the vest, while wearing it with a traditional back protector or else you have to wear the Tech Air unit during the service periods. Additional training is also provided for all the servicing activities down the line. This innovation is now adapted by serious race, sports and touring riders along with the UK police and emergency services. It has a variety of accessories including the back and limb protection, base layers, and gloves. Technical linings and leather care, along with a full leather suit repair and other services of alternation also exists.

Air bags have now become a standard kit on race tracks around the world. The mandatory adaptation is already placed in the MotoGP and World Superbike. A study suggests that as more series take on the technology, its costs will decrease and a couple of more companies will start to produce it. For instance, there are 12 leather manufactures in the MotoGP alone but it has three airbag systems. The others license the Alpinestars system. The innovation of Air Bags has acted as a stress relief factor for the ones who make their living or have passions in the field of motor bikes. It takes the safety of every individual to the next level. As the motor bikes lack the facility of belts, therefore this innovative suit works as a cover and provides the same level of protection for bikers.

There were news that Bruce Dunn tested this beauty on a two-mile run-away at a cold and damp Bruntingthorpe. The V4 did not disappoint the MCN speed tester as well. Bruce used a 2d data logging setup and the limiter was hit in the top gear with a GPS of 191.3mp was recorded. This proves that the Panigale V4 has the fastest production of a sports bike one could ever test. According to Bruce, the bike could still accelerate even when the limits were hit, which means that it can take higher gears and can probably crack the speed of 200mph. He says, it accelerates so fast that its gears cannot be fed quickly enough. Its demand gets eaten up one after the other very quickly yet maintaining a stable speed, without a slight hint of weave.

The Panigale V4 has the second-generation version of the Ohlin's semi active EC suspension. It could be precisely illustrated with this example that an invisible man with an invisible screwdriver is constantly adjusting, making the bike perfectly suitable in any scenario. It weighs around 195kg to 2.5kg which is lighter than the new 959 Corse. The Panigale V4 has a new 5'' full TFT, with a high resolution and high brightness display. The graphics are completely redesigned and a new virtual circular is also located on the right side. Two layout modes are available i.e. two lap timers are available. One could set the bike according to its demand. If you are a true motor bike lover, than this one sure needs a test drive.
