Kawasaki has been teasing that the new bike would be electric. Their electric bike didn’t seem to be a big secret: Googling revealed it would be a balance bike called “Elektrode.” Today, those rumors were confirmed:

It looks like a kid-sized eBike that can’t even be charged outdoors. I was hoping for something street-legal for adults which could charge at EV charging stations (outdoors). Oh well. I knew it wouldn’t be that weeks ago when I read it was a balance bike… hence why I wasn’t motivated enough to come back here and share until it was announced.

Kawasaki is still promising to be all electric by 2035 and has shown a prototype electric bike in their current 240/400 twin chassis:

Now, a release date for THAT would’ve excited me.
