Ducati Energica
The Ducati Energica has a top speed of 240 km/h (electronically limited), produces 171 hp (126 kW) — peak motor output and weighs 260 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
NOTE: There is no motorcycle called the 'Ducati Energica' — these are two separate Italian brands. Energica Motor Company is an independent Italian electric motorcycle manufacturer founded in 2014 in Modena, Italy, unrelated to Ducati. Ducati has explored electric concepts but as of my knowledge cutoff has not released a production electric motorcycle under this name. The specs below are for the Energica Ego, Energica's flagship model, as a best-guess interpretation of your query.

What Buyers Should Know
Energica Partnership Ended
Ducati never actually made the Energica — it was built by Energica Motor Company under a MotoE supply deal. Ducati has since developed its own electric platform, so parts and dealer support for Energica bikes can be limited.
Battery Degradation Watch
The liquid-cooled lithium battery pack is the most expensive component to replace, potentially costing $10,000–$15,000. Always check battery health percentage and charge cycle count before buying used.
Steep Resale Decline
Energica models depreciate aggressively due to rapid EV technology advancement and brand uncertainty following financial restructuring in 2023. Buyers can often find used units well below original MSRP, which cuts both ways on resale.
Used Buyer Review
"Brilliant machine, but ownership demands commitment and contingency planning."
$12,000-$22,000 usedThe Energica is genuinely impressive hardware, but buying one used requires homework. These were built properly — Ducati-adjacent quality before Energica found its own footing — and the motors are essentially indestructible. Battery degradation is your real concern. Push the seller hard for a state-of-health readout through the Energica app. Anything below 85% SOH and you're looking at reduced range that was already modest to begin with. The 2019-2021 bikes typically show 80-120 mile real-world range depending on model and riding style. Factor that in brutally honestly. Parts and service are the other conversation nobody wants to have. Energica's dealer network is thin, and with the company's recent financial turbulence, you're essentially gambling on long-term support. That said, the riding experience is legitimately special — instant torque, chassis that shames its weight, and brakes that feel telepathic. These bikes deserve attention. Just go in clear-eyed about the infrastructure around owning one.
