These two bikes are so different they are not really comparable except if you limit your question to a narrow focus. Like:
Which bike is easier to ride?
Which bike is more practical for my use?
Which bike is more efficient?
If an electric bike meets you needs and you are willing to pay the premium for an eco bike then the Brammo looks like one of the best choices.
If you need a bike to do highway (>60mph), long trips (> 40miles round trip), or cost is a major factor then the Ninja is far superior.
Either should be easy to ride, however the Brammo with its scooter like controls is probably easier. The Brammo has no clutch or gears so its just twist an go. It looks like a neat bike and a fun ride, but it is no motorcycle replacement.
