I’ve always wanted to ride a

Ducati

, but I never have because a) my wife will leave me if I get a

motorcycle

, and b) I enjoy having intact legs. I’m excellent with four wheels and a lot of speed. Take two of those wheels away, and the intact legs and marriage part of the formula has a lot less to stand on. My wife — and my legs — would love it if I got out and rode my bike more, though. And, hey, now I could keep my wife,

strengthen

my legs, and fulfill my dream of riding a

Ducati

, as the Italian motorcycle company has

announced

its MIG-RR electric-assisted mountain bike (e-MTB).

Created in partnership with Thok E-bikes, the Ducati MIG-RR features an aluminum frame, with a 504-Wh battery below the diagonal tube. The Shimano Steps E8000 system — made specifically for mountain bikes — provides the extra boost at speeds of up to 15.5 miles per hour. It has three levels of assistance: Eco, Trail and Boost. Trail and Boost modes can be customized for more or less assistance as needed. The bike is equipped with a Shimano XT 11-speed gear set, and Kashima Factory Series Fox shocks.

It’s an attractive bike, too. Have a look at it in the video above (which, after watching … yeah I’m pretty sure I’d mess up my legs pretty bad on this Ducati, too). If you’re in

Milan

, Italy, you can see it in person at the Ducati stand at

EICMA

2018 November 8–11. Ducati will begin taking orders in January with a starting price of €6,250 (about $7,130) with the MIG-RR arriving in

dealers

in Europe this spring.
