One of the remarkable aspects of the Ninja 7 Hybrid is that with two forms of power, Kawasaki allows you to choose how to use them. For example, you can select three options based on your riding scenario: EV, ECO-HYBRID, and SPORT-HYBRID. These modes not only alter performance but also affect efficiency and customize the experience to suit your immediate needs.
For example, say you’re traveling to a nearby friend or family member’s home, and it’s a distance of a few miles through neighborhood streets. The EV mode is perfect for this journey as it won’t use up any fuel running strictly off the battery.
While there is certainly a time to show off and kick things into high gear, you’d often benefit more from enhanced fuel economy than roaring horsepower. With ECO-HYBRID mode, the electric motor works until you accelerate past 2,000 rpm when the engine comes online. This configuration disengages the engine at low speeds and only activates it when needed, conserving fuel.
The SPORT-HYBRID mode fully utilizes the Ninja 7 Hybrid’s combination power train. This setting puts all 68 hp and 45-lb-ft of torque at your fingertips, and with an electric motor, torque is instantaneous.
