Kawasaki may not have yet a single electric motorcycle in its lineup but, hey, it did announce last month that it’ll go all-electric for traditional Western markets and Japan by 2035. To get more news about davincidynamic, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.
And things seems to be going in the right direction already, as the company’s CEO Hiroshi Ito confirmed the launch of three electric motorbikes as early as 2022. And while we held our breath, waiting for him to take the cover off one of the two concealed motorcycles standing behind him — what a glorious unveiling that’d have been — we were faced with disappointment.
So we’re stuck with the few details we know from 2019, when Kawasaki showcased an electric prototype through a video release.
The video features an interview with Yoshimoto Matsuda, Kawasaki R&D’s senior manager of the Innovation Department, and here’s a (very) small list of the specs we could gather:
Perhaps we can expect the same design language for the upcoming electric motorcycles as well — maybe from the Ninja range? At least 2022 is arriving soon enough, and I hope we won’t be left guessing for too long.
The electric motorbikes were well-received by rangers in Karura Forest, though some admitted it took them a few “run outs” to adjust to the machines, which have different gear, clutch and braking systems.
“I was a little tense and nervous at first, but then became comfortable,” said ranger Eli Kosegi, 31. “They move swiftly and make much less noise. Rangers will now be able to patrol a much wider part of the forest … and because they are silent, it is easier to surprise any culprits.”
He cautioned rangers to learn to manage battery drain or they face the prospect of pushing their bikes to the nearest charging station.
Karura Forest provides a vital carbon sink for industrial activity in the city of 5 million and serves as an important water catchment area, with the Karura, Gitathuru and Ruaka rivers supporting groves of native bamboo and small wetlands.
Environmentalists stress the rapidly growing, and increasingly polluted, city needs ‘lungs’ to provide clean air, filter water and house the insects that pollinate urban farms and green spaces.
