Is the Kawasaki Ninja e-1 good for beginners?

Broadly yes. With 5.0 kW rated / 9.0 kW peak (~12 hp), the Kawasaki Ninja e-1 is manageable for newer riders and is roughly A2-friendly. Confirm licence eligibility for your market and build confidence gradually.

Is the Kawasaki Ninja e-1 good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 785mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.
