Ducati and MT Distribution present PRO-III

Ducati and MT Distribution present PRO-III, the most advanced electric scooter of the Ducati Urban e-Mobility line.

Ducati continues to expand its urban micro-mobility line and presents the new PRO-III electric scooter, developed by the licensee and commercial partner MT Distribution, with the support of the Centro Stile Ducati.

PRO-III is the most technically advanced scooter in the Ducati Urban e-mobility line. The vehicle is switched on using innovative NFC technology, the contactless connection method. PRO-III is in fact equipped with a token that allows you to start the scooter simply by bringing it close to the display, allowing the use of the vehicle only to the owner in possession of the chip.

The technical characteristics of the vehicle make it ideal for those who want to move around the city, thanks to the 350W brushless motor capable of providing 515W of peak power, and to the 468Wh enhanced battery, that guarantees great autonomy covering up to 50 km with a single charge.

The riding experience is made even safer by the 10″ wheels with anti-puncture tubeless tyres, the braking system, consisting of double front and rear disc brakes, and the powerful LED lights that allow to see even in low light conditions and at night. Finally, the magnesium frame guarantees lightness and strength and, by better absorbing vibrations, makes the use of the scooter more comfortable.

The scooter’s display is equipped with a USB port that allows you to recharge the smartphone or other devices while in use. Thanks to the Ducati Urban e-mobility App , designed and developed by Italdesign, a service company for the mobility industry known all over the world and part of the Volkswagen group like Ducati, users can stay constantly updated on the main functions and performance of the vehicle, such as battery charge level, distance travelled and the last known position. It is also possible to access technical assistance services in real time, even via WhatsApp chat.

The PRO-III is available at Ducati dealerships and in the official Ducati e-shop, as well as in consumer and specialized electronics shops and major online stores.

Further information on all products in the Ducati Urban e-Mobility range are available on the website www.ducatiurbanemobility.com

King Of The Road McCallen Kickstarts The 2022 Classic Bike Show Season At Newark

Irishman Phillip McCallen (Honda) at Quarter Bridge: 1994 Formula One TT

TT legend Phillip McCallen will be guest of honour at the Classic Bike Guide Winter Classic Show in a new year treat for motorcycle fans.

The popular Irishman will be joining the crowds at Newark Showground on January 8-9 and be interviewed over the weekend by Lincolnshire racing star-turned-presenter and fellow TT winner, Steve Plater.

There’s even a chance to meet him!

Phillip McCallen is synonymous with Honda, road racing… and winning! He is without doubt one of the most gifted road racers of the modern age; 11 times a winner at Isle of Man TT, multiple winner at the North West 200 and the Ulster GP, winner of the Macau Grand Prix and British Supersport.

At the peak of his power ‘Supermac’ collected 1st place trophies at almost all road race meetings. In 1992 at the North West 200 McCallen had five race wins from six starts. At the 1996 Ulster GP he took five wins in one day and perhaps his crowning glory was winning four races out five at the Isle of Man TT, a record which stood unbroken for 14 years.

Supermac retired after nearly two decades of motorcycle racing in which he demonstrated a take-no-prisoners approach to his racing. Through the highs and lows of his career he became the poster boy for road racing fans the world over in one of the few golden ages of the sport.

COMPETITION! >> Advance ticket buyers have the chance to win one of four copies of Supermac – Phillip McCallen’s autobiography – with the opportunity to get them signed by the man himself at the show! Anyone who buys an advance ticket before January 3, 2021 will automatically be entered and notified shortly after this date. Terms and conditions apply.

Showgoers can expect to see the usual attractions that make this season opener a stand-out event. Motorcycle owners’ clubs will return with their impressive displays alongside a large indoor and outdoor trade and autojumble section, and a large collection of privately owned motorcycles will be on display. There will also be live firing-up sessions of a selection of bikes and scooters, leading on to the large and music-filled Scooter World and Custom Bike Halls.

Tickets for the event are on sale now at an early bird price of £10 until January 3.
