Electric Vehicle
The Kawasaki Z EV is the Kawasaki electric motorcycle closest to production specification. This bike will allow riders on an A1 licence to enjoy it's thrilling ride, but that will mean that it's performance will not be quite the same as the Ninja, but we'll get to that. It will have the performance of a 125cc bike, and we know it will house an 11 kW (14.8 bhp) motor that is energized by a 3.0 kWh battery.
Electric Vehicle
Instantly, we can see this is based heavily on the bodywork and styling of the Kawasaki Ninja 400. This bike will share components with the Z EV, and will also comply with an A1 licence, however, it is rumored to provide more power and better suit those who want more than just a fun trip to work. Kawasaki are setting the Ninja EV up as the beginner electric sports bike, but performance specifications remain a secret.
Kawasaki unveiled plans for a future Hydrogen model, and have given as a glimpse into what this might look like. Some say it looks like a thing of the past with class-style fairing, but others know Kawasaki have put their best heads together to make this bike a thing of the future, with revolutionary technology and eye-catching styling based on the Ninja H2’s design. This is the bike that might see Kawasaki's first Hydrogen engine. Minimal emissions, a water-vapor output and maximum performance could be coming to Kawasaki fans... we just don't know when.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle
The company took the wraps off the hybrid prototype a little while ago, after dropping so many hints and getting everyone excited. However details of the Kawasaki Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) are top-secret for now. But... it is anticipated to be part of the 2024 line-up!
The hybrid engine will be directed by the rider's riding style and location and surroundings. When the rider is on the motorway, the engine power is activated. Meanwhile, when the rider is traveling through the city or any other urban area, only electric power will be generated. For those twists and turns out in the countryside, the model will use the best of both worlds with integrated hybrid drive technology.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
