Kawasaki's first electric bike to officially debut on June 7th
Kawasaki USA has officially announced that it will be rolling out an electric bike on June 7th. The company made the announcement in a recent tweet saying, “The Good Times are Electric Stay tuned for June 7th."
The company announced in 2021 that all its bikes would turn electric by 2035. All the Kawasaki bikes would go either fully electric or Hybrid. The first of these models will be unveiled next month. While the brand didn't exactly highlight which model will see the light of day in June, reports hint that it will be a motocross motorcycle. The company seems to be playing safe as the electric motocross bike is most likely to be intended for kids, as per the teaser clip. For the record, KTM already offers a range of electrified dirt bikes which are also on sale in the global markets.
