This Panigale works but won’t make any noise!

At first sight this might appear to you like a Ducati Panigale that we all know and love from the noise it makes – and how good it handles on track and on the road -, but look closer and you’ll start to notice some differences.

Actually, this isn’t a Ducati Panigale at all. What you’re seeing here is a bike built by Hollywood Electrics under the commission of a client who decided he wanted an electric motorcycle but with the exotic looks of the Panigale.

Underneath the Panigale fairings there’s a Zero RS, the electric motor has been upgraded with liquid cooling to get a better performance, and the charging system uses the latest spec unit from Zero Motorcycles that allows for a charge up to 90% from zero in just under an hour.

And because this bike has been commissioned by a special client who wanted to add better parts, Hollywood Electrics also changed some chassis elements: Brembo brakes for better stopping power, Öhlins suspensions for better handling and Dymag carbon fiber wheels for even less weight.
