Performance figures for these electric bikes include 5 kW (6.8 PS) of continuous power and 40.5 Nm of peak torque, with a maximum power output of 9 kW (12 PS). (Image: Kawasaki)

Both bikes offer two riding modes: Eco and Road, with top speeds of 64 km/h and 88 km/h in Eco mode, and 75 km/h and 99 km/h in Road mode when using e-boost for stronger acceleration. (Image: Kawasaki)

The range of the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 is limited due to their small battery size, with a claimed maximum range of 72 km on a single charge. However, the batteries are removable, and a wall charger can fully charge them in approximately 3.7 hours. (Image: Kawasaki)

The bikes feature steel trellis frames, non-adjustable front forks, preload-adjustable rear monoshocks, 17-inch rims, and disc brakes. While their availability in India is uncertain, they are set to be launched in the UK in October 2023. Kawasaki has also introduced the 400cc four-cylinder ZX-4R in India, priced at Rs 8.49 lakh, ex-showroom. (Image: Kawasaki)
