Kawasaki has released more details of the all-electric Ninja e-1 and the Z e-1. The Japanese bike maker has now revealed the specs of these entry level e bikes.
Battery, Motor & Specs : More Details
The electric motor that drives the wheels is rated at a continuous output of 5 kW and a peak power of 9 kW. Under the Road riding mode, the Ninja e-1 can go upto 84 km/h while the Z e-1 can manage upto 70 km/h. The same speeds in Eco mode are reduced to 60 km/h and 56 km/h respectively.
To help during overtaking or when extra power is needed, Kawasaki is offering an e-boost function. Under this, the bike will offer additional power for a maximum of 15 seconds at once. Under Boost, the top speed increases to 105 km/h / 72 km/h for the Ninja e-1 with the Z e-1 topping up at 105 km/h / 68 km/h in Power and Eco modes respectively.
When the battery percentage drops to under 35 percent, the bikes go into Eco mode and the boost function is disabled.
Kawasaki is offering a dual 1.5 kWh battery on both the ebikes. These will be fully charged in 3.7 hours for 1 pack or 7.4 hours for both the battery packs. But users will be able to charge two batteries simultaneously using two chargers.
