Kawasaki is quite popular for its Ninja series of supersport and superbikes. however, these bikes run on IC-based engines. The world is gradually heading towards an emission-free mode of transport. Electric cars have already made their presence almost a decade ago. Now, its the turn of two-wheelers. There are a few manufacturers who are dedicatedly into the producing electric vehicle. However, the domain of electric bike is yet to be disrupted by some known name. Probably, Kawasaki wants to take advantage of this and come up with some premium electric bikes. Some patent filing from Kawasaki has been spotted along with labeled diagrams of a fully-faired electric bike. Here you can have a look at these diagrams of a Kawasaki Ninja Electric Bike.
Of course, this is the model of a fully-faired Ninja running on an electric motor. The battery will be placed inside the fairing where usually IC engine sits. They will probably make use of swappable batteries. Kawasaki may use long-range batteries on this bike. This will be helpful for those who are more into touring. Here is another diagram from the patent filing which showcases the battery.
You may wonder about the price factor of the Kawasaki Ninja Electric Bike. Usually, Kawasaki’s IC-based Ninja series bikes are quite costly. Even the entry-level sports bike like Ninja 300 and 400 costs close to 6000 dollars. So, if we think about a sophisticated electric bike, then it won’t be surprising if Kawasaki sells them at $10,000. However, this is just speculation.
Also, we cannot rule out the fact that if Kawasaki enters the market with an electric Ninja, then its competitors like Yamaha and Suzuki may also have some electric two-wheelers under the sleeves. Only time will tell when these electric bikes will become a reality.
