Kawasaki has filed a patent for a modular electric motorcycle design, introducing a flexible system that allows different motors to be swapped into the same frame.
According to Electrec, this modular approach could make it easier to adapt the bike to various power configurations without a complete redesign.

The patent shows a familiar steel trellis frame and removable battery packs from Kawasaki’s existing electric models, like the Z e-1 and Ninja e-1, but the introduction of a modular system offers flexibility for future designs.
The modular subframe sits between the frame and the motor unit, making it easy to change the motor to meet the model’s power requirements. This concept could streamline production and reduce costs, helping Kawasaki offer more variety in electric motorcycles while maintaining efficiency.
