New to the market is the 2023 Ducati Futa E-Bike, a high-performance electric road designed for solo or group riding to improve riders’ skills and enjoyment. The Futa is a compact electric bike that provides just the proper assistance to make even the steepest ascents a pleasure.
Technology choices prioritizing speed and aerodynamics complement the carbon fiber monocoque frame’s sports endurance design. Comfort increases and aerodynamic drag is decreased because of the E-Bike’s reduced liners and seat stays. The rear triangle’s lateral strength and the liners’ placement contribute to the bike’s responsiveness and efficiency in transferring power to the wheel.
The Ducati Red accents and main grey and black color scheme of the livery draw attention to the bike’s attractively curved downtube, seat post, and fork liners.
A 250W motor with 42Nm of torque is housed in the rear hub of the FSA System HM 1.0. It is one of the lightest and most compact models in its class (3.98 kg), and it has a smooth and natural delivery in every circumstance. This engine has five different assistance settings, all configurable through the Garmin handlebar-mounted interface.
The FSA app is compatible with iOS and Android devices, allowing the rider fast and easy access to data, system status, battery life, and charging rate. The app also facilitates communication between users and FSA service centers worldwide to acquire any required software updates.
Due to its low weight (12.4 kg in M size) and almost invisible engine resistance, the 2023 Ducati Futa E-Bike is always responsive and swift over flat stretches, with speeds exceeding 25 km/h. Carbon pedal arms are included in the standard issue of the FSA K-Force WE group set, along with powerful 160mm disc brakes, adjustable UD carbon interchangeable levers, and lightning-fast and silky smooth 212-speed wireless electronic shifting.
Vision AGX30 wheels with carbon rims and 35mm Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR tires provide on all fronts: strength, durability, and ride quality.

Carbon Fiber Frame
Technical choices were made with speed and aerodynamics in mind, while the carbon fiber monocoque frame is built for sports endurance.
The 2023 Ducati Futa E-Bike’s compact rear stay with decreased sheaths makes riding more comfortable and reduces wind resistance. The positioning of the sheaths in the rear triangle makes it lateral rigid, which improves power transfer to the wheel and the bike’s responsiveness. The livery’s color scheme, which includes parts of Ducati Red and the primary colors of grey and black, highlights the bike’s expertly molded down tube, seat post, and fork sliders.
FSA System HM 1.0 Engine
One of the smallest and lightest in its class, the 8.7-pound, 250-watt rear hub-mounted engine delivers a smooth and natural delivery regardless of the scenario. You may adjust the aid from this engine using the Garmin handlebar-mounted control.
