A "made in China" Ducati Panigale goes hybrid

A "made in China" Ducati Panigale goes hybrid







 

 While Ducati is busy developing the future electric motorcycle that will take part in the MotoE World Cup in 2023, some Chinese manufacturers have already taken the lead by inventing Italian-inspired hybrid models. For the Ducati brand, being copied is a habit. And in this little game, the privileged target of these unscrupulous Chinese manufacturers remains still and always the mythical Panigale. The Wuben 400 is no exception, with an aesthetic modeled on the Italian sports car, even sporting several stickers in tribute to the late Nicky Hayden, former rider of the Reds in MotoGP. If the Wuben 400 has only Ducati inspiration, on the other hand, under the fairings it offers innovation with a classic 399cc twin-cylinder engine produced by Zongshen, supplemented by a 2 kW electric motor integrated into the wheel. rear and powered by a battery. All cleverly concealed under the fairings of this fake Panigale. An electric unit which according to the manufacturer offers between 80 and 130 km of autonomy, and a maximum speed of 140 km/h
