To prevent overheating, the e-boost operation is limited to 15 seconds. When activated, acceleration is stronger when twisting the throttle and top speed is increased.

When all conditions have been met, the e-boost gauge on the instrument display will show in gray to indicate it is available. The e-boost function is activated by pressing the e-boost button at the right handle. Once activated, the gauge changes color to purple, “e-boost” appears on the screen, and increased power is available. Once the throttle is opened past a certain degree, the 15-second countdown timer starts (indicated by the shrinking e-boost gauge). When the timer runs out, the e-boost function is disengaged.

Once the bike is ready again, the e-boost function can be activated once more. e-Boost can be activated while riding or when stopped.

Kawasaki’s 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.

Models equipped with multiple Power Modes offer riders an easily selectable choice of engine power delivery to suit riding conditions or preference. In addition to Full Power mode, one (Low) or two (Middle, Low) alternate mode(s) in which maximum power is limited and throttle response is milder are provided.

Clever technology enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly. Using the smartphone application “RIDEOLOGY THE APP,” a number of instrument functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience. Vehicle information (such as the odometer, fuel gauge, maintenance schedule, etc) can be viewed on the smartphone. Riding logs (varies by model, but may include GPS route, gear position, rpm, and other information) can be viewed on the smartphone. When connected, telephone (call, mail) notices are displayed on the instrument panel. Riders can also make changes to their motorcycle’s instrument display settings (preferred units, clock and date setting, etc) via the smartphone. And on certain models, it is even possible to check and adjust vehicle settings (such as Rider Mode, electronic rider support features, and payload settings) using the smartphone.

When all conditions have been met (bike stopped, throttle OFF), WALK Mode is activated by pressing and holding the Mode button. Once activated, the screen background turns red to clearly distinguish from normal operation.

When engaged, opening the throttle moves the bike forward at walking speed (approximately 3.1 mph).

Closing the throttle past the “zero” point moves the bike in reverse. Reverse speed is approximately 1.9 mph.

Powered by an electric motor, no emissions are created when being operated.

Kawasaki ABS systems use front and rear wheel sensors to constantly monitor wheel speed. Should information from either of the sensors indicate that wheel lock has occurred, the ABS ECU directs the pump in the ABS unit to modulate brake fluid pressure (releasing and reapplying pressure so that traction can be regained) until normal operation resumes. ABS offers rider reassurance that contributes to greater riding enjoyment.

Proper fit is key for rider comfort and control. However, the ideal fit varies from rider to rider, depending on their physical dimensions and riding style.

ERGO-FIT® is an interface system designed to allow riders to find their ideal riding position. Various points of the chassis interface (the handlebar, footpegs and seat, etc.) can be adjusted through a combination of interchangeable parts and parts with adjustable positions. This enables a wide range of riders to find a riding position that offers both comfort and control. Feeling at one with their machine, they will be able to experience how Kawasaki machines are fun and rewarding to ride.

*Adjustable parts and their range of adjustability vary by model.
