At EICMA 2021, Kawasaki confirmed that it will introduce three electric/hybrid motorcycles by the end of 2022. It is no secret that the Japanese bikemaker has been experimenting with alternative fuels, releasing timely updates on the same.
Last year, the world got the first glimpse of the Kawasaki Endeavour, an electric bike with a four-speed gearbox. The prototype showcased also featured a chain final drive instead of the conventional belt-drive system. Though Team Green has yet to reveal all the specifications, some reports suggest Kawasaki may use a BLDC motor with a peak output of 19kW.
The Kawasaki Endeavour prototype is clearly based on the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and shares the same chassis and underpinnings.

Another offering from Kawasaki that we may see next year is its hybrid motorcycle, for which the bikemaker has already filed a trademark under the name ‘E-boost’. While the company hasn’t revealed any details yet, it will probably not be a micro-hybrid system, unlike the Yamaha RayZR 125 Hybrid and Fascino 125 Hybrid.
Here’s a little context. In October this year, Kawasaki announced its plan to go all-electric by 2035 in Japan and some other foreign markets. Furthermore, the bikemaker also stated its intent to launch as many as 10 electrics and hybrid motorcycles by 2025. Going by the recent development, we reckon Kawasaki's ambitious plan is on course.
But will we see the EVs in India? It is highly likely, given that the company has constantly been bringing new models to our market. That said, we believe the electric and hybrid Kawasakis will come here a few months after their international debuts.
Kawasaki Ninja 300 User Reviews
It is a fantastic bike. Dual engines. Aesthetically pleasing. Smooth driving and cruising experience. Authentic servicing and maintenance could be a little challenging given the limited number of Kawasaki stores. It offers 25-30 KMPL mileage in the city, and over 30 on highways. The fuel tank capacity is also huge at 17 liters of petrol. Amazing control of the driver on bike even at top-notch speeds. Read More
Been using it for almost 5 years now and never had it left me on the road stranding. The bike is a superstar with almost 26-30 mileage, it is just an unbeatable combination of power and efficiency. Cornering is so much fun after I upgraded the three and barely I was ever unsatisfied with the looks and styling its got.Read More
I chose Ninja 300 for its performance, strong top-end power as I was about passionate about riding. Its good beginner- friendly and revs without being jerky. Has comfortable ergonomics and is a balanced bike with reliability. So far engine was smooth and linear. Sporty but not aggressive and power is usable for city and highways. Longer rider are somewhat comfortable and is stable. Display and techs are basic and is slightly heavy. Braking could be sharper to some extent. Yes, I would recommend Ninja 300 for smooth, reliable and well-balanced to ride easily and still have fun on rides. It tend to have better performance but lacks some basic features which other bikes in the same segment offer.Read More
I choose this bike mainly because of its smooth engine and highway comfort. It feels very stable at high speed and gives confidence while riding. Looks are sporty and premium which I liked. In city suspension feels little stiff but I was ok with that compromise. Ride experience is mostly positive. On highways it feels planted and smooth even at higher speed. Handling is very good and cornering feels safe. Mileage is decent not too low not too high. In city traffic and bad roads you feel bumps little more. Yes I will recommend this bike to people who love riding on highways and enjoy sporty riding style. It is not for someone who want soft suspension or only daily city use. Buy it if you want performance and feel, avoid if mileage is main concern.Read More
