Kawasaki's EV? After the Project electric car was unveiled in Milan, it gradually exposed a lot of testing and development. Recently, Kawasaki also exposed the latest hybrid patent, which shows that Kawasaki has taken a multi-pronged approach in the new generation of power.
As can be seen from the patent drawings, Kawasaki's hybrid oil-electric hybrid is different from Honda and Yamaha's technology of "starting the motor to connect the crankshaft" on the small displacement pedal, which is closer to the hybrid model of the car; According to Kawasaki patent information, there will be four different modes of hybrid power, namely, engine output alone, hybrid power, pure electric power and power generation mode. The states of gearbox, clutch, engine and motor are also different in different modes.
The mode can be switched through the rocker of the right hand switch, and a big button can be seen below the mode switch button. According to the document, this button is probably a "short motor acceleration" booster button, which may provide better acceleration performance through the characteristics of large torque when the motor accelerates and overtakes.
36-bit suspected Boost acceleration key; In different modes, the states of gearbox, clutch, engine and motor are also different. Interestingly, in pure electric mode, the gearbox is still engaged, which means that Kawasaki also adopts electric drive design.
Although this patent is still in the conceptual stage, it is not difficult to make a hybrid hybrid electric motorcycle in view of Kawasaki's strong strength. Even Kawasaki has exposed the patent of "two-stroke extended-range electric vehicle" before. Let's look forward to whether Kawasaki, which made H2 machine a beast, will give us new surprises in the future!
