FEATURES

GREEN POWER

Friendly Power

Built to embody the Ninja® lineage, the Ninja® e-1 ABS is a full-size EV motorcycle powered by a quiet, compact brushless electric motor offering excellent response and torque for around town riding. Riders can confidently control power output with clutch-less operation that contributes to a rider-friendly package.

Powerful e-boost

Along with smooth power delivery, riders can enjoy a burst of increased power for approximately 15 seconds at a time with e-boost. When all conditions have been met, the e-boost feature briefly provides a burst of stronger acceleration and increased top speed to confidently surge through traffic or quickly accelerate up to speed from a stop.

WALK/Reverse Modes

The Ninja® e-1 ABS EV motorcycle provides easy parking and low-speed maneuvering with WALK Mode. WALK Mode assists maneuvering when reversing or moving forward at a walking pace. To move forward (3 mph), riders will push the WALK Mode button and twist the throttle in the normal direction. When reversing (1 mph), riders will push the WALK Mode button and close the throttle past the "zero" point.

RIDING MODES

The Ninja® e-1 ABS EV motorcycle is powered by dual removable battery packs. When both battery packs are charged and in use, the power system can be set to ROAD or ECO mode. ROAD mode produces full power capability and potential to reach max top speed. ECO mode reduces max power and max top speed. If only one battery pack is in use, then performance level defaults to ECO mode.

A KAWASAKI FIRST

Kawasaki’s full-size EV motorcycle is here and ready to take the streets by storm. The 2024 Ninja® e-1 ABS delivers thrills with clean EV power and quiet operation. This EV sportbike is powered by a rider-friendly electric motor with rider-selectable Power Modes.

HANDLING

Sportbike Chassis

The Ninja® e-1 EV motorcycle features a lightweight frame with carefully tuned rigidity balance, coupled with sportbike suspension components. The result is light, predictable handling, and a rider-friendly riding experience. Front and rear disc brakes provide sure stopping performance, while ABS adds a measure of reassurance. 

Naturally Relaxed Riding Position

A 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 footpegs offer a riding position that is sporty and comfortable.

Solid Build Quality

Riders can experience the Kawasaki advantage with Kawasaki's first fully electric EV motorcycle. The same high-quality details and proven engineering that go into all Kawasaki motorcycles are incorporated throughout this EV model.

RIDER-FRIENDLY RESPONSE

The Ninja® e-1 ABS EV motorcycle offers nimble handling, powerful disc brakes with ABS, and delivers proven Kawasaki motorcycle engineering that is highlighted by the rider-friendly performance of this full-fairing EV sportbike.

BATTERY PACKS

Easy Recharge

Thanks to the regenerative system, the energy of deceleration is recycled back to the battery, contributing to a longer cruising range. Riders have three options when it comes time to charge the two battery packs. The battery packs can be removed to be charged away from the motorcycle, either by direct charge or by a charging dock in a different location, or you can plug the charger directly into the motorcycle in a dry environment via the offboard charging adapter.

The offboard charging adapter is pre-installed on the motorcycle as standard equipment. One charger is included with the motorcycle and can be plugged into a standard 120V household outlet.

Charging Times

Each battery pack features a charge indicator so riders can gauge how much battery life is left. Charging times may vary based on remaining battery life. If battery life is at 0%, it can take up to approximately four hours (per battery) to fully charge. If battery life is above 20%, it can take up to approximately two hours (per battery) to reach a full charge. 

Ways to Charge

The offboard charging adapter allows you to conveniently charge both batteries at the same time without having to remove the batteries. Charging time is up to approximately eight hours (0-100%) for both batteries

The direct charge option involves plugging the included charger directly into a removed battery. Charging time for one battery is up to approximately four hours (for a full charge from 0%). An additional charger can be purchased (as an accessory) so that the second battery can stay in the motorcycle and be charged simultaneously via the offboard charging adapter. Charging time for one battery via the offboard charging adapter is up to approximately four hours (for a full charge from 0%).

Additional chargers and charging docks are available as accessory items to help you set up a clutter free charging station. Charging time via charging dock is equivalent to charging via direct charge.

DUAL BATTERY PACKS

The Ninja® e-1 ABS EV motorcycle is powered by two removable lithium-ion battery packs and a compact brushless electric motor. That provides the power for responsive performance without the weight and inertia of an internal combustion engine. Whether you're commuting to work or enjoying a fun ride around town, get where you need to go with clean EV power.

EV STYLING

Sharp Ninja® Styling

The Ninja® e-1 ABS EV motorcycle features sharp, angular bodywork that’s sure to stand out while charging the streets. This fully electric motorcycle also features a fresh and futuristic image, while boasting a silver and matte lime green color scheme. All-LED lighting also contributes to the modern, high-tech image.
