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.

Z Supernaked Styling

The new Z e-1 balances the aggressive styling of Z Supernaked models with a fresh, futuristic expression of Kawasaki EV models. Where ICE Supernaked models highlight the engine and exhaust as key styling elements, the more compact motor and lack of an exhaust system creates a much higher ground clearance, which is balanced by a lower “fuel tank.” All-LED lighting contributes to a modern, high-tech image.
