Folks, it looks like more and more manufacturers are taking the idea of an electric dirt bike more seriously. Not too long ago, I talked about how Suzuki seemed to be working on an EV off-roader very similar to that of its existing RMZ motocrosser. Now, Kawasaki seems to be doing pretty much the same thing, as recent patent filings suggest that Team Green is indeed working on a new electric motorcycle. In particular, one that seems to have some degree of off-road capability. And though the patent doesn’t explicitly state what kind of motorcycle it’s going to end up in, it does present one interesting piece of tech: swappable batteries. According to the patent filing, the battery packs of the electric motorcycle are detachable. These batteries can then be charged separately via a charger. This means that would-be owners of the electric motorcycle could potentially purchase multiple batteries and simply swap out the depleted ones and go on their way.
