Here is a more detailed look at Kawasaki's Elektrode Electric Balance bike design. I am not getting too excited about this direction that Kawasaki is taking when producing an electric motorcycle - or whatever it is.   ???

Per the comments below the story, it’s target is for youth beginners (developing balance).

My boys both learned to ride a bike using a balance bike first. They're great. I'm not sure how a motor would help though.
