En mi opinión el verdadero caballo de batalla será el peso del conjunto. En los coches el incremento es mucho, como si llevaras siempre a tres bigardos en los asientos traseros. Pero no he visto ningún dato al respecto, a ver si alguien lo ve.
Hola. Pues lo he buscado y resulta que está en la web oficial de Kawasaki (modelos 2024)...
Con el corazón de la herencia Ninja, en la nueva Ninja 7 Hybrid se encuentra la inminente combinación de un increíble motor bicilíndrico en paralelo de 451 cc refrigerado por agua con función e-boost -completo con marchas de selección manual o automática- y un motor eléctrico; una combinación...
www.kawasaki.es
Peso en orden de marcha (entiendo que con depósito de combustible de 14 litros y batería 48V) = 227 Kg.
Peso de la batería de 48V (50,4V) de iones de litio = 13 Kg.
Parece razonable aunque faltaría saber lo siguiente homologado: Consumo, potencia, par y emisiones... A falta de confirmación (TBC, To Be Confirmed).
Por otra parte, me he encontrado esta reseña de Bennetts Bike de hace 7 días...
Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid promises 1000cc acceleration and 250cc economy
www.bennetts.co.uk
"Kawasaki hasn’t released detailed information about the engine, but the chances are it shares the Eliminator’s 70mm bore and 58.6mm stroke.
However, the engine’s power is substantially higher than the Eliminator or Z400, which are both A2-legal machines with sub-47hp outputs. On petrol power alone, the Ninja 7 Hybrid manages 58.3hp (43.5kW), rising to 68.5hp (51.1kW) when the ‘e-boost’ function is engaged, adding the electric motor’s power to the mix.
Off the line, Kawasaki says the performance, with e-boost, is on a par with a 1000cc superbike, thanks to the immediate extra torque of the electric motor. Overall, the firm puts the performance in the same league as 650cc-700cc bikes.
That electric motor is a 9kW design, meaning it’s almost certainly the same one used in the new Ninja e-1 and Z e-1 electric bikes, which claim a 9kW (12hp) max power. It’s coupled to a 48V lithium-ion battery under the seat and allows the Ninja 7 Hybrid to function in three modes – Sport-Hybrid, Eco-Hybrid and pure EV. In the all-electric mode, performance is understandably limited, with Kawasaki suggesting it’s intended for residential areas or parking garages. There’s no information yet on the EV-only range, but it’s unlikely to be more than a handful of miles.
The ‘e-boost’ function, which we first revealed way back in 2020 thanks to Kawasaki’s own patent on the idea, maxes out the electric power boost to briefly combine all the power and torque of both the electric and petrol powertrains.
The powertrain drives through a manual transmission, but because it needs to be able to juggle power automatically and seamlessly from the electric motor and combustion engine, it’s an electronically-operated one with automatic clutches. That means there’s no clutch lever on the left bar or gear lever by the left peg. Shifts can be done either fully-automatically or via bar-mounted buttons in manual mode."
Y aquí parece haber más información de hace 3 días...
The news is big. We're looking at the first hybrid motorcycle in history and, as we've known since the last EICMA, it's from Kawasaki.
motorcyclesports.net
"At the heart of the new Ninja 7 Hybrid is a 451 cc four-stroke, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine with a clutchless gearbox that can be used manually or in automatic mode, and a 9 kW electric motor. As for the battery that powers it, we still don’t have certain data, but we can bet that it could have a capacity of 1.5 kWh and, in that case, be one of the two modules always used in the Z e-1. The substance changes little: the two together provide a power output of 43.5 kW (58.47 hp) which peaks at 51.1 kW (69.35 hp) due to the e-boost function."
"Features include a “start-and-stop” mode, in which the combustion engine stops when the bike is stationary to save fuel and reduce emissions, and the Automatic Launch Position Finder (ALPF) which – when selected – automatically chooses first gear when the bike is stationary, as well as a “walk” mode both forwards and backwards to facilitate low-speed maneuvering and parking."

Un saludo.
Hay hilos desde 2019 cuando debieron aparecer las primeras patentes.
. Veremos si en el futuro sí le ven sentido.
