ELECTRIC GOOD TIMES BEGIN HERE
From the powerhouse brand that brings you the KX™ motocross series, introducing the all-new Elektrode™ electric balance bike. Now, even the littlest riders can embark on their two-wheeled journey as early as three years old. This means the path to becoming a champion rider starts sooner than ever. When young enthusiasts begin their riding experience on the Elektrode, it’s their official welcome into the world of high-performance, iconic Kawasaki vehicles – the world of Kawi Bike.
Elektrode™: Start the Kawi Bike Adventure
While traditional pedal bikes are often the first step for children learning to ride, there’s a gap in the market for products that smoothly transition them to small displacement motorcycles. The all-new Kawasaki Elektrode™ electric balance bike fills this need perfectly, designed for kids aged 3-8. It’s the ideal starting point for their two-wheel journey. Now, the entire family can join in the excitement and help their young ones kick-start their journey into the world of Kawi bike riding.
Power and Performance of a Kawi Bike: In-Wheel Motor
The Elektrode™ is equipped with a robust 250-watt brushless in-wheel electric motor, providing a quiet and maintenance-free riding experience. The motor’s placement ensures a low center of gravity, enhancing balance and making steering and handling more intuitive for young riders.
Power delivery is smooth and linear, allowing the Elektrode™ to move in a gentle, predictable manner. This gradual power build-up helps children gain confidence and control as they learn to ride their Kawi bike. The electric motor’s design, with no external moving parts to maintain and near-silent operation, reduces intimidation for kids who might be apprehensive about the noises of a traditional engine, exhaust, or chain. This quiet operation leads to more focused and uninterrupted fun on their Kawi bike.
Rugged Kawi Bike Chassis: Frame and Front Fork
Built with Kawasaki’s renowned toughness, utilizing high-quality components and robust construction, the Elektrode™ boasts a lightweight yet strong and durable aluminum frame. This frame is designed to withstand the energetic use typical of children. A highly rigid steel front fork provides a solid feel, allowing young riders to quickly become comfortable with steering their Kawi bike. The compact 32.76-inch wheelbase contributes to agile handling, perfect for navigating sidewalks and driveways.
Kawi Bike Styling: Inspired by KX™
The Elektrode™’s design aesthetic takes cues from larger Kawasaki motorcycles, specifically aiming for a “big-kid bike” feel rather than a typical child’s bicycle. Styling highlights include a Kawasaki KX™-style front number plate, KX-inspired colors and graphics, premium paint quality, and motocross-inspired knobby tires. This styling reinforces the connection to the Kawi bike legacy and makes young riders feel like they are part of the Kawasaki family from day one.
Additional Kawi Bike Features for Young Riders
- Adjustable seat height, handlebar position, and brake lever reach, ensuring a comfortable fit as the child grows.
- Lightweight aluminum frame with a low center of gravity for enhanced stability and ease of handling.
- Durable 16″ cast aluminum wheels and pneumatic tires, providing a smooth ride on various surfaces.
- Motocross-style handlebar with twist throttle, mimicking the feel of larger Kawi bikes and preparing them for future motorcycle riding.
- Foldable steel footpegs with rubber grip, offering stability and control when standing or cruising.
- Frame-integrated battery providing up to 2.5 hours of run-time, meaning more playtime and less charging downtime for young Kawi bike enthusiasts.
