Z e-1 2024

Finding pleasure in your daily commute. Kawasaki offers electrified excitement with its new pure EV motorcycles. Charge your day with Z e-1.

Electric Power

Kawasaki’s first roadgoing EVs are powered by a compact brushless electric motor offering strong off-the-line acceleration and low-end response. Rider-selectable power levels contribute to rider confidence, while unique EV features like e-Boost and Walk Mode add to the fun experience. The rider-friendly electric motor is also clean and quiet.

Confident Handling

Although the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 are primarily commuter models, Kawasaki engineers worked hard to ensure that they offered the riding excitement for which Kawasaki motorcycles are famous. A carefully crafted balance of confident handling and light maneuverability will have even new riders looking forward to their daily commute.

ROAD/ECO Modes

In addition to normal operation (ROAD), riders may also choose speed-limited operation (ECO). Top speed in ROAD Mode is 85 km/h (79 km/h for Z e-1), while top speed in ECO Mode is limited to 60 km/h (56 km/h for 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.

Light Weight

At only 135 kg, the light weight of the Z e-1 contributes to a rider-friendly package.

Nimble Handling

A frame with carefully tuned rigidity balance coupled with motorcycle suspension components with optimized settings give the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 light, predictable handling and rider-friendly response.

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.

Solid Build: Kawasaki-Designed Motorcycle Chassis

A chassis based on Kawasaki’s Ninja/Z400 motorcycles delivers sure-footed handing that riders will find reassuring. Built by a motorcycle manufacturer highly acclaimed for their reliability, the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 offer the same solid build quality as all Kawasaki motorcycles.

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 Instrumentation with Smartphone Connectivity

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.

Disc Brakes with ABS

Front and rear disc brakes provide sure stopping performance, while ABS adds a measure of reassurance.
