So I just saw something on the news about the global warming talks - i wasn't really paying attention util the news head said Ducati.

Turns out the various leaders are getting carted around in a Ducati Energia build electric 'quadracycle'.  I didn't spot a ducati logo like you'd see on the bike - but there was the old school SSR Ducati badge bang on the front.  And the vehicle badge read FreeDUCk

You can see it on the photos here:

a little more google work found the product PDF

I had no idea they had an electronics wing...

In a sense a return to the origins of the company as an electronics manufacturer.  Smiley

Geez, you have thought they could have consulted with the designers over on the bike side. That's an ugly duck!
