Kawasaki has been patenting a new design for its commuter electric motorcycle, which could signal a significant leap in development for the company. The design uses a modular mounting system that allows multiple motor types to fit within the same motorcycle frame. The system is made up of two separate sections that can be modified depending on the motor configuration. This could allow Kawasaki to use one main frame across multiple electric motorcycles and install different motors without major changes to the main frame. This concept could potentially help reduce production costs and potentially increase parts sharing between models.
