Kawasaki Is Working on a Hybrid Motorcycle With an Electric Supercharger

Kawasaki and supercharged bikes are nothing new, and rumors of a hybrid motorcycle have been swirling for a while, but now it seems Kawasaki will marry the two.

The company trademarked “E-BOOST” for various uses including hybrid and electric motorcycles. Now, electric bikes wouldn’t need a supercharger, but a hybrid bike could utilize an electric supercharger.
