Unless you plan to hook it up to a load which runs at a constant speed. Hence the Kawasaki patent.
I'm interested to see where that goes but wouldn't want to listen to one.
I'd rather hear a lecky motor on its own than a scooter variator constant Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

They need to make a 125cc version of it for teenagers to play with and learn about home tuning, big bore kits etc.

By the time a 17 year old scrote turns 25 they won't be able to buy a new petrol bike :D By the time they're 40 anything which runs on dead Dino will be taxed off the road probably!

They need to learn about how to overrate motors and hack controller software.
