Ducati is known for making some of the most obnoxious and desirable motorcycles on the planet - but now there's a more enviro-conscious offering that looks perfect for the urban commute.

Meet the Ducati E-Scrambler E-Bike - a new addition to the Italian motorcycle specialist's catalogue, and one that not on brings the brand to a new level in terms of affordability, it also lends a green edge to its overall footprint.

Are motorised push bikes legal?

The E-Scrambler is codeveloped by Ducati and dedicated e-bike brand Thok Ebikes, and comes with a 504 watt-hour battery teamed to a 250-watt Shimano Steps motor. The pedal-assist "trekking" bike has an 11-speed transmission and four-piston brakes, both from Sram, and it rides on Pirelli Cycl-E GT rubber.

Accessories available include headlight and tail-light, turn signals, mudguards, and rear bag attachment tray. The bike is constructed from aluminium to keep the weight down, though the battery will add a little bit of additional mass to the frame.

Is it illegal to ride an electric scooter in NSW?

We said it's affordable - and it is, if you're tossing up between an e-bike and a 2015 Hyundai Accent, that is. It will start at €3699 in Europe (AUD $6058), which does make it a bit more appealing than the next cheapest Ducati motorbike, the Scrambler Sixty2 which starts at about $12,490.

Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio. After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017. At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come. Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed. He currently owns a 2001 Audi TT quattro and a 2007 Suzuki Jimny JLX.
