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...
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

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

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