Italian motorbike manufacturer Ducati has launched its Urban Mobility arm in the UK, which offers a range of e-bikes and e-scooters.
Developed in partnership with Italian e-mobility specialists Platum, Ducati Urban Mobility offers four electric scooters, a specialist off-road e-scooter and a folding e-bike.
The launch in the UK comes after the government announced plans to legalise private e-scooters by creating a low-emission vehicle category to allow riders to use the devices on public roads.
