A Review of The Factory Restored DUCATI PRO III
As a long-time e-scooter enthusiast, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Factory Restored DUCATI PRO III Electric Scooter from ScootUp. This sleek ride promises to blend Italian design flair with practical urban mobility. But does it live up to the hype? Let's dive in.
First Impressions
Walking into ScootUp's physical store in Dubai, the DUCATI PRO III immediately caught my eye. Its bold red and black color scheme screams "Ducati," even from a distance. At 17.5 kg, it's not the lightest scooter out there, but it feels solid and well-built.
Ride Performance
ScootUp offers test rides, so I took the PRO III for a spin around the neighborhood. The 350-watt motor packs a punch, easily reaching the top speed of 25 km/h. It handled Dubai's smooth roads with ease, but I was equally impressed by how it managed the occasional uneven patch.
The 10-inch tubeless tires offer a smooth ride, soaking up minor bumps without fuss. Braking is responsive, thanks to the front and rear disk brakes. The regenerative braking is a nice touch, helping to extend the battery life during stop-and-go traffic.
Range and Practicality
Ducati claims a maximum range of 50 km, which seems optimistic but not unrealistic based on my test ride. For most Dubai commuters, this should easily cover a round trip to work with juice to spare.
The 9-hour charging time is a bit long, but it's manageable if you charge overnight. One clever feature I love: you can use the scooter to recharge your phone. It's a lifesaver when you're out and about.
Downsides?
No product is perfect. The 100 kg recommended max load might be limiting for some riders, especially if you're carrying a bag or groceries. And while the build quality is excellent, the price tag (3,900 AED, down from 4,100 AED) puts it at the higher end of the market.
The Verdict
The DUCATI PRO III isn't just about the name – it's a capable, stylish electric scooter that's well-suited to Dubai's urban landscape. It's an investment, sure, but one that could transform your daily commute or weekend jaunts around the city.
