Ducati has patented an electric motor capable of spinning up to 18,500 rpm.

Ducati has not announced a production electric superbike, and the patent remains at the research stage.

Looking at the spec sheet, 18,500 rpm isn't just a step up from the last model, it rewrites the whole notion of what a production engine even is. Shrinking the motor directly attacks curb weight, and that's the part that gets me. I can't wait for news of an actual production version.
