Kawasaki’s TWO electric bikes are coming soon

Kawasaki could be poised to become the first big name Japanese factory to reveal a range of electric motorcycles.

Recent reports suggest that we’re not going to have to wait too much longer for the first glimpse of the launch of a pair of new battery-powered learner-legal machines from the manufacturer.

It shouldn’t come as a great shock. Kawasaki’s been tinkering away in the background for a little while now, and it even showed off its full-size electric prototype undergoing on-track testing a few years ago. But instead of a full-size, full fat motorcycle, the Japanese firm looks set to go down the learner-legal route.

Tipped to be called the Ninja E2 and the Ninja E2-R (which likely denotes a naked and faired version), the pair of Kawasakis won’t be like your usual 125cc commuter.

While they’re expected to kick out continuous power of 14.8bhp, there’s talk that there will be 30bhp of peak power to play with, which would put them on a par with the A2 licence Ninja 300. Sounds like fun, right?

Sadly, that’s about all we know about the two bikes for the time being, so we’ll just have to sit tight until the factory is ready to roll. Chances are it won’t be too much longer though, with the big bike shows at the end of the year fast approaching.
