Conclusion - forever young
It is, of course, a toy, one for older children who want to (and can) spend at least 17,290 euros on their gift. Hear my words: Every penny of it is well invested!
Before I forget it: I have now studied the data sheet. The Duc is not only up to date in terms of engine and chassis, but also in terms of assistance systems: series are Wheelie Control, Curve ABS from Bosch, Traction Control, Ride By Wire and three driving modes ...
... not even this prejudice lasts more.

Future yes - but now?
Hardly ever has a motorcycle polarized as polarised as this Zero. This applies to our test team, but also to our readers. If you don't believe it, you should delve into the comments in our test video. But it is not polarizing because it is good or bad. This can be easily clarified: the Zero is good.
Good to very good even, but this only applies to an electrically driven motorcycle. This is it, with all the advantages and the disadvantages already mentioned. And: it is our future. That is certain.
What everyone has to decide for themselves is whether they will bring the future to their home now.
