2024 KAWASAKI Z E-1 TOP SPEED WITH E-BOOST 

Still, from 0-50 it is about as fast as the Segway E300SE.

It saved you money! I suggest you also check out the Segway E300SE. Not as sexy as the Kawasaki, but for half the price much more to give.

Gewoon een keer op een Zero of Energica stappen. Die zijn alleen erg duur. Dat is wel leuk rijden, een berg koppel meteen beschikbaar.

It is their first attempt, but I'm not satisfied either. I do like riding electric bikes, but this is only for use in the city and while it is good in the city, there are many other options that are cheaper and better (for the price you pay). The product itself is OK, but for less money you can buy the Kawasaki Z650. So just go and buy that Z650. 😎

@@MotoSnax Surprising lack of tech innovation from Kawasaki to be honest for the price but what is more frustrating is that the big 4 have been playing chess to wait and see what each other can do which has only held back the EV moto market from gaining momentum, at this rate if they continue with this market strategy they will have no market users left once the older gen of bikers have stopped riding because new riders will have moved either to the more accessible brands or away from the idea of owning a bike if given the option to pay so high for such low real world performance.

Only Yamaha did make the E-01 (concept) and that was slow too. I did ride it and made a writtenreview about it and some videos on my channel. I don't know any Honda EV's right now, nor one from Suzuki. The price is too high for what you get. For less money you can buy the Z650 like I mentioned and that is a great bike to enjoy for many, many years. Better electric motorcycles you get from Zero and Energica, but most people don't have the money for that. The best cheap electric 'motorcycle' is still the Segway E300SE in my opinion. But it doesn't look as cool as the Z e-01. Anyway, I don't think electric is the answer. They are still fun to ride though. But not for this price.

Comparable to low end 125cc bikes, good for city use although pricey alternatives IMO. For reference my cb125r easily averages 100+mpg with its 10.1L tank real world range is over 200 miles! While top speed is 65-70mph on a good day, acceleration is no better than this E bike I would say

I'd pick an ICE 125cc any day above this. I love Kawasaki, but not this one for this price.

Compared to a lot of bikes it is slow. I'd pay a bit more and buy a Zero FXE (if you want to ride electric). Or pay less and buy something else. Did you try other electric bikes? But handling etc. is perfect. After all it derived from a Kawasaki Z400.

@@MotoSnax I did not try other electric bikes. One criterium for me was dealer and spare parts support. That ruled out zero as well, as most of the chinese competitors. I wish the big 4 would have more offerings, but I guess they are going to wait for the first solid-state battery packs.

That is true, Kawasaki will be fine with spare parts. For Chinese you never know. Zero? I don't know how that works out. Yamaha has an electric concept scooter. The E01. It is on my channel somewhere. Not the fastest out there but it was fun to ride a concept.

Isn't that scary when you make turns at high speed with those miniature tires?

Yep. Way too expensive. I am always comparing it to a Segway E300SE electric motorscooter which costs about half. The Kawasaki has the looks. Segway has the rest. For 9k I'd buy an ICE motorcycle.

It is KMH. :)

Worse, it is in Km/h . Which means, 62mph .

Depends on how you ride. I was able to ride it to nearly empty in 30 km. WMTC range is 72 km.

With e-boost it accelerates faster than 125cc but without it, 125cc is probably faster. You can only use e-boost for 15 seconds and then it needs to recharge.

@@MotoSnax When you say it needs to recharge do you mean that it's not available until you recharge the battery or will it be ready after a little while? If so how long does it take?

@@The77Game No it takes a short time to recharge the e-boost feature. I did not count it but I think somewhere between 30-60 seconds. The bar will refill and you can use it immediately, but it will take 30-60 secs before the bar is full. Look at it like a videogame where a gun gets too hot and it needs to cool down. You can still use it after a short cooling down period, but if you don't want to wait you can only use it for short bursts. :)

Regen would be the better term 👍​@@MotoSnax

@@theuncanspan but regen is when you let go of the throttle and that would fill the battery, not the e-boost (well, not directly). It needs probably 30-45 secs to recharge e-boost to 100%. I did not count.

No. It is full throttle + e-boost. There is a physical button on the steer which you need to press. Otherwise it is slower. In the video you can see my right thumb pressing it at a certain moment.

No. Just one long gear, you don't have a clutch, you never have to shift.

@@MotoSnax Now i know that electric bike it work like Electric car

Some probably have artificial gears, with flippers you might be able to switch. I prefer just one long gear for electric bikes though.

Yes!

This one does- its Kawasaki

it is always a couple percent off. Most of the time 4-5%.

Echt voor in de stad en een beetje daarbuiten. Waar ik 'm nu al voor gebruik in de video is niet waar je 'm voor moet gebruiken. Alleen voor ongeveer hetzelfde geld kan je ook een Z650 kopen en die is inzetbaar van stad tot en met snelweg.

Yep. Full throttle, but had to wait to press the e-boost button.

@@MotoSnax Okay ich will jetzt wirklich nicht gegen e- Motorräder hetzen, es gibt ja mit Zero ne Marke die es gut hinbekommt. Aber was Kawasaki da macht ist einfach nur schlecht, du bezahlst einen Preis Leistung Verhältnis dass sind ja schon Unsummen. Man hat eine Beschleunigung die erst per Knopfdruck halbwegs mit den anderen Bikes der Klasse mithalten kann ( vom top Speed rede ich ja noch nicht Mal, finde ich bei den hohen Unfallzahlen bei jungen Fahrern eher gut) aber dann auch noch eine Reichweite von nicht Mal annähernd 300 km . Nur mal so als Info es gibt die Zontes gk welche einen 20 l Tank hat und ein Freund von mir war nach 3500 Kilometern bis jetzt 5 mal tanken. Das Bike spricht doch niemanden an, 9000 € für einen Haufen Nachteile.

@@MotoSnax Und selbst wenn das Handling und die Verarbeitung gut wären ist das kein Grund einen preis zu verlangen der den einer gebrauchten R1 nahe kommt

@@Deinwohnort You are right, this is too expensive for what it can do. I'd rather buy a Segway E300SE. Not as sexy, but almost half as cheap and is overall faster and a higher top speed. This is jusit too expensive also if you look what you can buy for this money. Like a Z650 or something. It will give a lot more fun plus has way more power.

​@@MotoSnax Das ist ne gute Idee 👍

You sure? :)

@@MotoSnax tops around 270 kmh, 0-60 around 3 seconds/

Sort of a gadget, yes. Like a lot of electric vehicles.
