Kawasaki will launch a 4-wheel<br />
motorcycle<br />
The introduction of graphene in electric motorcycle batteries, will allow greater<br />
autonomy and also offer a remarkable quality standard<br />
The Kawasaki J Concept will come<br />
true, this time as a four-wheeled<br />
motorcycle model, after confirmed<br />
by the brand’s responsibles in Italy.<br />
Rarely do the leaders of the brands<br />
make statements as juicy as those made<br />
by Sergio Vicarelli and Giovanni Poli,<br />
Director of Sales and Marketing and<br />
Technical Director of Kawasaki Italia,<br />
respectively.<br />
The interview granted to fellow Italian<br />
Motorcyclists , runs through certain<br />
paths around the Kawasaki Z400,<br />
differences with previous models and<br />
other commercial matters. However, the<br />
most interesting comes in the last two<br />
questions. First, there is talk of Kawasaki’s<br />
advances in the electric mobility segment<br />
, in which the brand does not deny<br />
certain investigations, although especially<br />
with a view to the year 2030 or the<br />
introduction of graphene in electric<br />
motorcycle batteries, which will allow<br />
greater autonomy and also offer a<br />
remarkable quality standard.<br />
Finally, comes the pump as Vicarelli<br />
announced that “we have a project …<br />
four wheels” also “hit the market in the<br />
future relatively near “ . This leads us<br />
to recover the Kawasaki J Concept , a<br />
prototype that the brand already showed<br />
in 2013 and that last year showed us<br />
again in a video. As if that were not<br />
enough, we discovered that Akashi’s firm<br />
had registered a patent with a tiltable<br />
front axle that could be used for a threewheeled<br />
motorcycle … or four-wheeler.<br />
So, we look forward to more information<br />
about the Kawasaki J Concept street<br />
successor . Will it be a future rival of the<br />
Yamaha Niken or rather a more urban GT<br />
vehicle like the Qooder?<br />
