California’s Super73, a lifestyle brand that produces electric bicycles, has created a one-off custom model to celebrate the history of Ducati. Starting with a paint scheme that draws heavy inspiration from the Italian motorcycle manufacturer‘s racing efforts, it combines a red frame with gold detailing on the chainring bolts, the pedals, and the front forks. The forks were also polished and brushed before anodizing to emulate the iconic Kashima coating. Anti-slip fabric with delicate red piping continues the color scheme onto the seat.
To ensure that it can stop effectively, too, Super73 has
fitted the bike with Magura MT5 four-piston brakes with a 203 mm disc at the
front and a 180 mm disc at the back. It also gets Blain handlebars and Tropper
tires, while the wheel gets a reimagined version of the classic Ducati logo.
Although the brand doesn’t make it explicit in its press
release, it looks like a Super73-ZX, which is powered by a 615Wh battery and
has a 35-mile range. In stock configuration, it retails for US$ 2,195. Super73 was
founded in 2016 and works to fuse motorcycle heritage and youth culture with
its products. In the past, it has created electric bicycles inspired by Hot
Wheels and the Porsche 935 that claimed victory at Le Mans in 1979.
