A few days ago we talked about the Lacama, the all-Italian electric motorcycle. But if motorbikes scare you, don't worry, made in Italy has thought of everything. In fact, it has recently come out FreeDuck and, despite the name, we're not talking about a new comic. Instead, it is the new electric bicycle made by Ducati Energy. Another local jewel that aims, as Ducati tradition, really high.
Move in total freedom and autonomy: FreeDuck!
Literally FreeDuck means free duck, and it is certainly not a randomly shot name. The idea that Ducati wants to convey is precisely that of freedom of movement, like a free duck. But what is FreeDuck? It's a e-bike, that is a bicycle equipped with a small motor for assisted pedaling. Put simply it is an electric bicycle. Thanks to its lithium-ion batteries it is possible to receive support during our walks. It is also equipped with the most modern accessories found on a means of transport: navigator, sensors and the ability to connect it to ours smartphone. Thanks to the special app, in fact, it is possible to know the remaining range, the condition of the tires, the kilometers traveled and more. But FreeDuck is not only futuristic, but also beautiful and customizable. Directly on the site www.freeduck.it the buyer can choose color, accessories and type of model. Because FreeDuck is available in styles Urban, Classic, Extreme e City.
An electric future
But why are electric motors invading the markets in recent years? The reasons are varied and span multiple fields and sectors. The first is certainly linked to the environment and the desire to reduce polluting emissions. Especially in large cities, air quality values are increasingly high, increasing the risk of respiratory tract diseases. Another aspect that concerns us even more closely (since health is an often underestimated topic) concerns our portfolio. Petrol and the like are in fact constantly increasing, and every year the expenditure for our supplies becomes more and more consistent.
Taking the example of e-bikes, over 2015 thousand electric bicycles were sold in Italy alone up to 56. And forecasts speak of reaching 300 thousand units in 2018. This, in addition to the environment and our health, is also proving to be excellent news in the economic sphere. In fact, the companies that decide to invest in the production of green engines are increasing dramatically. Not only the big giants like Ducati, but also small start-ups. With the aim not only of selling, but also of making our world a little greener.
