Rumour: Kawasaki-Modenas SuperMoped Being Developed in Europe?

The rumours about Kawasaki and Modenas creating a super moped has been circulating for years with the photo above being the driving force behind it.

We are not sure who created the photo but it has been making its rounds around the internet for some time now.

But the rumours are getting stronger and the latest ones are that the bike in question is currently being developed in Europe.

There is no word about where in Europe it is being developed but apparently there are a few Modenas engineers that are currently stationed in Europe for the past three months.

They are apparently there to help prepare the super moped for an imminent local launch.

It is believed that their main area of focus is on the powertrain development as well as technical training.

According to reports from a few Malaysian outlets, the new super moped was designed in Malaysia, received technical input from the Japanese and is currently being developed in Europe.

Now you may be wondering why Europe since mopeds are not exactly popular in Europe.

A quick search online has revealed that Kawasaki actually has a few factories and offices scattered all around the region, particularly for Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

Interestingly though, there is a Kawasaki Motors division in The Netherlands which has offices in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

It is not immediately clear if these branches are sales outlets or also play a role in development though the former seems more likely considering that Kawasaki has booted out a few of its global dealerships in favour of an official presence. Case in hand being Kawasaki Malaysia.

But what if the rumours are true? Which engine would Kawasaki use since it does not have a small capacity engine in the local market? Well that is not exactly true.

Kawasaki India recently launched the updated W175 (seen above) for 2024. It has a 177cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine with an output of 13hp and 13Nm of torque. It is not a new engine and has been in the market for a while, which means it is tried and tested and is widely available.

In the spirit of the super moped, could this be the engine to power the highly anticipated bike?

As usual, it is all still speculative, just as it was for the past few years. But with a number of local outlets reporting on it, the rumour could be true, or it could be what it always has been – click bait.

If you understand Bahasa Malaysia, below is an video interview we did with the CEO of Modenas En Roslan not too long ago about this exact same topic:

Laporan: Majikan di UK Diskriminasi Pekerja yang Menaiki Motosikal

Susah nak bayangkan dunia tanpa motosikal kan? Bukan saja dapat jimat masa dan duit, tapi gila seronok juga!

Tapi, ada laporan dari UK yang mengatakan ada beberapa majikan yang diskriminasi pekerja mereka yang suka bawa motosikal untuk urusan berkaitan kerja.

Well, percaya atau tidak, British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) dah bunyi kan loceng kecemasan pasal benda ni.

Alex Parsons-Hulse dari BMF kata diorang dapat info yang ‘several’ syarikat di UK ni memang tak bagi pekerja bawa motosikal untuk urusan kerja. Ni bukan main-main, kita cakap pasal benda yang sah – pergi jumpa pembekal, temu pelanggan, atau gi konferens. Dan tambah lagi hal, ada kes majikan cakap, “Sorry, tinggalkan motosikal kat rumah,” kalau pasal perjalanan harian. Bau macam diskriminasi atas pilihan pengangkutan, tak bau ke?

Susah nak bayangkan benda ni terjadi kat Malaysia. Malah, takde peluang langsung.

UK Employers Reported To Be Discriminating Against Motorcycle Riding Employees

It is difficult to imagine a world without motorcycles. Not only do they save time and money but they are also awesomely fun.

But according to reports out of the UK, there are some employers who are discriminating against their motorcycle riding employees for riding their bike on world-related journeys.

Well, believe it or not, the British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) is sounding the alarm on exactly that.

According to Alex Parsons-Hulse from the BMF, they’ve caught wind of ‘several’ companies putting the brakes on employees using motorcycles for work-related trips. We’re talking about legitimate stuff here – visiting suppliers, meeting clients, or attending a conference. And to add fuel to the fire, there are instances where employers are saying, “Sorry, leave your bike at home,” when it comes to the daily commute. Smells a bit like discrimination based on transportation choices, doesn’t it?

The BMF isn’t sitting idly by; they want the scoop. They’re urging people to come forward and spill the beans on these situations. So if you are reading this from the UK and your boss has ever pumped the brakes on your bike for work trips or made you ditch it for the daily grind, the BMF wants to hear your tale.

It is difficult to imagine such a thing happening here in Malaysia, in fact there is no chance of it ever happening here. So our hearts go out to our motorcycle riding brethren in the UK.

2024 Kawasaki Ninja 7 HEV Unveiled in Europe – 51.1kW With E-Boost

Kawasaki Motors Europe unveiled its latest addition to the Ninja family, the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), marking a significant milestone in the world of motorcycle innovation.

While initially showcased as a prototype during EICMA 2022, the production version has undergone substantial refinements and enhancements over the past year.
As its nomenclature suggests, the Ninja 7 HEV incorporates a pioneering hybrid powertrain, blending traditional combustion and electric propulsion technologies.
The motorcycle is poised to challenge conventional perceptions of hybrid motorcycles, distinguishing itself as the world’s first mass-produced two-wheeler of its kind.

Powering the Ninja 7 HEV is a newly developed 451cc parallel twin combustion engine, offering riders the option of manual or automatic gear selection. In conjunction with this conventional powerplant, Kawasaki employs a 9-kilowatt traction motor powered by a 48-volt battery pack, forging a robust hybrid system.

This harmonious fusion of elements delivers a combined power output of 43.5 kilowatts (58.3hp), which can be further bolstered to a peak of 51.1 kW (68.5hp) when engaging the e-Boost feature, also featured on the fully electric 2024 Kawasaki Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 models.

Kawasaki emphasizes that the Ninja 7 HEV’s physical size and performance closely mirror that of a typical 650cc to 700cc combustion motorcycle, prompting the designation as the Ninja 7.

This nomenclature choice serves as a noteworthy departure from Kawasaki’s established naming conventions, underscoring the distinctive nature of this hybrid motorcycle while retaining its familial association.

In an effort to optimize handling and balance, Kawasaki has strategically centralized the mass within the motorcycle’s frame, as visually demonstrated in an accompanying animated diagram.

Although complete specifications are yet to be disclosed, Kawasaki has provided a glimpse of key features to expect on the Ninja 7 HEV:

Idle Stop Function: The combustion engine automatically halts when the motorcycle is stationary to conserve fuel, a feature that has been relatively uncommon in the motorcycle industry.
Automatic Launch Position Finder: This feature intuitively selects first gear when the bike comes to a standstill, ensuring readiness for immediate acceleration.
Walk Mode: Borrowed from the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja e-1 and Z e-1, Walk Mode offers a low-speed Reverse and Forward option, enhancing maneuverability.
Full-Color TFT Dash: The Ninja 7 HEV incorporates a full-color TFT dashboard, reminiscent of the layout found in the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja e-1 and Z e-1.
Ride Modes: Riders will have the flexibility to choose from three distinct riding modes: EV, Eco Hybrid, and Sport Hybrid.
Clutch-Less Operation: The motorcycle eschews a traditional clutch lever in favor of push-button shifting on the handlebar, enhancing ease of use.

As of the October 9, Kawasaki is yet to announced the official pricing for the Ninja 7 Hybrid.

Kawasaki Electrifies The US Market With The 2024 Ninja E-1 And Z E-1

In an exciting revelation for motorcycle enthusiasts and eco-conscious riders, Kawasaki has officially introduced its inaugural electric motorcycle models, the 2024 Ninja e-1 and Z e-1, marking a significant foray into the realm of electric mobility within the United States.

Design and Performance

Visually, the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 seamlessly blend with the distinctive design language associated with their respective lineages, maintaining the iconic styling cues of their Ninja and Z families.

Beneath their striking exteriors, both motorcycles are equipped with a 5-kilowatt (approximately 6.7 horsepower) interior permanent magnet synchronous electric motor capable of delivering a peak power output of 9 kW (about 12 hp).

Furthermore, these electric bikes incorporate regenerative energy during deceleration, an attribute common among electric motorcycles, eliminating the need for a clutch.

Battery and Charging

Powering the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 are two removable 30 amp-hour battery packs, offering riders convenience and versatility. Charging these batteries can be achieved through three distinct methods: direct connection to a standard household outlet, utilization of a dedicated docking station, or plugging the bike itself with the batteries in place.

A full recharge of each battery pack is estimated to take approximately 3.7 hours. Additionally, a separate 12-volt battery supplies power to the lights and instrument cluster, mirroring the conventional setup found in combustion-engine motorcycles.

Range and Performance

Kawasaki provides an estimated range of 72km on a single charge for both models, taking into account usage in Road mode without engaging the e-Boost feature. It is important to note that real-world range can vary due to factors such as rider weight, wind conditions, terrain, and riding style.

Chassis and Handling

Both the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 feature a familiar steel trellis frame design and share common suspension components. The front suspension comprises a 41mm telescopic fork with 119mm of travel, while the rear utilizes a bottom-link Uni-Trak setup offering 132mm of travel and four-way adjustable preload.

Braking systems consist of single two-piston calipers on both front and rear wheels, with the primary distinction being the size of the discs. Both motorcycles are equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels and feature standard ABS for enhanced safety.

Dimensions and Weight

The Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 exhibit similar dimensions, including a 1,365mm wheelbase, 1,980mm length, 170mm ground clearance, and a seat height of 785mm. Also these electric bikes share a rake of 24.4 degrees and a trail of 94mm.

However, differences emerge in terms of width, height, and curb weight. The Ninja e-1 measures 686mm in width and 1,105mm in height, weighing in at 140kg.

Conversely, the Z e-1 boasts dimensions of 730mm in width and 1,035mm in height, with a lighter curb weight of 135kg.

Power Modes and e-Boost

Both models provide riders with two power modes, Eco and Road, catering to different riding scenarios. Eco mode prioritizes range by offering a gentler power response and electronically limiting the top speed to 60km/h, while Road mode is tailored for everyday use, allowing a top speed of 80km/h.

Furthermore, an e-Boost function is available in both modes, temporarily granting extra power for improved acceleration and a higher top speed. This feature elevates the top speed to approximately 85km/h in Road mode and 60km/h in Eco mode, albeit for a limited duration of 15 seconds to prevent overheating.

Walk Mode and Connectivity

To simplify parking maneuvers, Kawasaki has integrated a Walk Mode as a standard feature on both the Ninja e-1 and Z e-1. This mode enables controlled movement at low speeds, with a maximum forward speed of approximately 4.8km/h and a reverse speed of around 2.9km/h.

Both motorcycles are equipped with a 4.3-inch TFT color display, offering customizable light and dark modes. Additionally, riders can enjoy seamless Bluetooth connectivity with their smartphones through Kawasaki’s Rideology the App.

Storage

The Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 feature a compact front trunk (frunk) in the space traditionally occupied by a fuel tank in combustion-engine motorcycles.

Additionally, there is a small underseat storage area capable of accommodating items such as a U-lock and housing the adapter for direct wall charger connection.

Pricing in the US

According to Kawasaki USA, the Ninja e-1 is priced at USD7,599 (RM36k) while the Z e-1 starts at USD7,299 (RM34k).

Kawasaki Ninja E-1, Z E-1 To Arrive In Europe Next Month

Kawasaki is gearing up to introduce its first electric motorcycle models to the European market next month.

The journey from concept to reality has been quite a ride, with the electric machines officially unveiled last year during demo rides at the Suzuka 8 Hours.
Now, almost a year later, the eagerly awaited Kawasaki Ninja E-1 and Kawasaki Z E-1 are set to make their debut in Europe.

Both of these electric marvels fall into the 125cc category and share the same powertrain, with the primary difference being their distinctive appearances. The Ninja E-1 embraces the classic sportbike style with its sleek fairings, while the Z E-1 takes on the naked bike market with a minimalist design.

At the heart of these electric wonders lies a brushless motor rated at 5kW (6.7bhp) nominal power, capable of delivering up to 9kW (12.1bhp) at its peak, along with a robust 40.5Nm of torque.

One standout feature is the dual removable batteries, wired in parallel, a design choice that Kawasaki claims offers enhanced charge efficiency compared to a series connection.

Each of these batteries boasts a nominal capacity of 30Ah, effectively providing a combined capacity of 60Ah for the bikes. With a nominal voltage of 50.4V, this configuration allows for a maximum energy storage capacity of 3.024kWh.

While it’s not common for electric motorcycles to come with quoted energy consumption figures, Kawasaki boldly states 49Wh/km, implying a potential range of 61.7km. However, under WMTC Class 1 conditions, Kawasaki claims an even more impressive 72km. Each battery weighs 11.5kg and requires approximately three hours and 42 minutes to reach a full charge.

For the riders, there are two selectable riding modes available: Eco and Road. The Ninja E-1, in Eco mode, reaches a top speed of 64km/h while the Z E-1 achieves 62km/h.

Both bikes can be boosted to higher speeds, with the ‘E-Boost’ mode selectable via a user-friendly TFT display. In Road mode, the Ninja can reach 88km/h (99km/h on E-Boost), and the Z can hit 85km/h (99km/h on E-Boost).

When it comes to the chassis, both the Ninja and Z rely on a robust steel trellis frame. The braking and suspension components are identical on both models, featuring a single 290mm front brake disc with a dual-piston calliper, a single 220mm rear brake disc with a dual-piston calliper, 41mm telescopic front forks, and a bottom-link Uni-Trak, gas-charged rear shock with spring preload adjustability.

In terms of specifications, the Ninja tips the scales at 140kg, slightly heavier than the Z’s 135kg. Both bikes share a comfortable seat height of 785mm and an identical wheelbase of 1,370mm.

While the Z boasts 10mm more ground clearance than the Ninja (170mm vs. 160mm), both bikes have the same wheel travel, with 133mm in the rear and 120mm in the front. They also sport identical 100/80-17M/C 52S (front) and 130/70-17M/C 62S (rear) tires.

The New-Gen Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R & ZX-4R Screamer Is Coming To Malaysia In 2024

Two icons of two-wheeled exhilaration are poised to ignite the Malaysian motorcycle scene as Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS), the official distributor of Kawasaki motorcycles in the country, unveils an electrifying announcement: the all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and the eagerly-awaited Ninja ZX-4R are set to make their thunderous debut on Malaysian roads in 2024.

The Ninja ZX-6R and Ninja ZX-4R will arrive in Malaysia sometime in 2024.
The Ninja ZX-6R producing just shy of 130bhp despite meeting the latest emissions standard while the ZX-4R pumps out 79.1hp (with Ram-Air).

Roslan Roskan, Chief Executive Officer of Modenas, disclosed that the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is charging its way to Malaysian shores during the recently concluded Kawasaki X Modenas Green Mania held at Gamuda Cove, Dengkil.

The Ninja ZX-6R flaunts its remarkable prowess after a comprehensive update to meet the stringent Euro5 homologation standards. Riding in tandem with the ZX-6R is the enigmatic Ninja ZX-4R, an exciting newcomer poised to carve its own niche in the world of high-performance motorcycles.

The spotlight shines brightest on the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, a testament to Kawasaki’s relentless pursuit of perfection. The centerpiece of this superbike is its reinvigorated 636cc liquid-cooled engine, meticulously tuned and tested to meet Euro5 standards—a remarkable achievement that sets it apart from its rivals, the Yamaha R6 and Honda CBR600RR. Not content with just compliance, Kawasaki engineers have pushed the boundaries, subjecting the engine to rigorous testing to ensure it surpasses expectations.

The Ninja ZX-6R’s update isn’t just under the hood; it boasts an array of advanced features that elevate its performance and rider experience. Showa’s Separate Function Big Piston Forks enhance handling, while a quickshifter and three-mode traction control system provide riders with unparalleled control.

Capable of a heart-pounding 79.1hp with Ram-Air, this compact powerhouse delivers excitement in abundance. Boasting a rev limit exceeding 15,000rpm, the ZX-4R inherits the DNA of its sibling, the ZX-25R, and shares the same trellis frame, showcasing Kawasaki’s commitment to innovation.

The suspension prowess of the Ninja ZX-4R is equally notable, thanks to Showa’s SFF-BP forks at the front and a horizontal back-link at the rear. Distinguishing the variants is the suspension package: the base model features SFF-BP forks, while the SE and RR boast front forks with preload adjustment. The RR, in particular, enjoys the Showa BFRC-lite rear shock, a nod to its high-performance lineage.

Technological wizardry is in full force with the Ninja ZX-4R, featuring all-LED lighting, Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), and an array of four power modes catering to varying riding conditions. The SE and RR versions elevate the experience with a two-way quickshifter and a 4.3-inch LCD color display replete with an integrated ‘Track Mode.’

As the countdown begins for the arrival of the new-gen Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and the thrilling Ninja ZX-4R, the Malaysian motorcycle landscape is poised for an adrenaline-infused transformation. These two masterpieces, representing the epitome of engineering and innovation, are set to captivate riders and enthusiasts alike.
