Rechargeable Batteries
The Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 feature dual removable lithium-ion batteries. Multiple charging options add flexibility for minimal added inconvenience to your daily routine.
Instead of single heavy battery, two batteries are used. Each battery weighs 11.5 kg, contributing to portability.
MAX 9.0 KW (12 PS) MOTOR
Rated at 5.0 kW (9.0kW max), the clean and quiet motor produces quick response and strong low-end power, facilitating control and contributing to quick acceleration from a stop.
REGENERATIVE SYSTEM
Thanks to the regenerative system, the energy of deceleration is recycled back to the battery, contributing to a longer cruising Range
NO-CLUTCH OPERATION
Having no clutch to operate—riders need only twist the throttle—greatly simplifies operation and contributes to a rider-friendly package.
TFT COLOUR INSTRUMENTATION
4.3” all-digital TFT colour instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance, while being able to connect to your ride wirelessly offers an enhanced motorcycling experience.
SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY
Bluetooth technology built into the instrument panel enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP MOTORCYCLE,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience.
CONVENIENT STORAGE BOX
In place of a fuel tank, the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 feature a handy storage box. Lifting the storage box cover reveals 5 litres of easy-access space for small items like gloves or rain gear. The compartment can hold up to 3 kg.
Under-seat storage compartment has two levels for a more efficient use of space. The space is sufficiently large to accommodate a U-lock or the accessory offboard charging adaptor.
ROAD/ECO MODES
In addition to normal operation (ROAD), riders may also choose speed-limited operation (ECO)
Top speed in ROAD Mode is 88 km/h – Ninja e-1
Top speed in ROAD Mode is 85 km/h - Z e-1
Top speed in ECO Mode is 64 km/h – Ninja e-1
Top speed in ECO Mode is 62 km/h - Z e-1
E-BOOST FUNCTION
With e-boost, riders can access increased power for approximately 15 seconds. When activated, acceleration is stronger and top speed is increased
64 km/h >> 75 km/h (ECO) – Ninja e-1
88 km/h >> 99 km/h (ROAD) – Ninja e-1
62 km/h >> 72 km/h (ECO) – Z e-1
85 km/h >> 99 km/h (ROAD) – Z e-1
WALK MODE (WITH REVERSE)
This convenient mode assists with maneuvering in a parking lot. When engaged, opening the throttle moves the bike forward at walking speed. Closing the throttle past the “zero” point moves the bike in reverse.
Forward : twist grip in normal direction (speed - 5km/hr)
Reverse : twist in opposite direction (speed - 3km/hr)
LIGHTWEIGHT TRELLIS FRAME
The Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 feature a trellis frame similar in design to that of Kawasaki’s flagship model, the Ninja H2. Kawasaki’s advanced dynamic rigidity analysis was used to ensure optimum rigidity with light weight. The trellis-style frame design contributes significantly to the bikes’ low curb mass.
FRONT SUSPENSION
A rigid ø41 mm telescopic fork delivers excellent suspension action. The front wheel feels reassuringly planted, direction changes are facilitated (even when the bike is fairly upright – handy when navigating traffic jams), and overall the suspension offers the plushness of a larger class bike.
REAR SUSPENSION
Uni Trak rear suspension (mostly used for off road/dual sports models) provides great road holding ability and bump absorption, contributing to the bike’s rider-friendly handling. The linkage layout settings (swingarm, tie-rods) provide progressive damping, enabling variations in the street surface to be handled
DISC BRAKE WITH ABS
Front and rear disc brakes provide sure stopping performance, while ABS adds a measure of reassurance
NATURALLY RELAXED RIDING POSITION
Relaxed rider triangle accommodates a wide range of rider sizes and riding situations, contributing to the rider-friendly character. The relatively upright riding position and slightly foot-forward footpeg position put the rider in a position to control the bike while also offering rider comfort.
Ninja Supersport Styling
Like its Ninja brethren, the Ninja e-1 features seductive, full fairing bodywork. The large-volume bodywork attracts attention and gives the impression of a larger machine. This impression is reinforced by the high-class design and superb fit and finish, which are comparable to bikes from a larger-displacement class. All-LED lighting contributes to a modern, high-tech image.
