Japanese motorcycle icon Yamaha will release the Yamaha E01 and Yamaha E02 electric scooters in the European and Asian markets in 2022.
The new Electric scooters will both be headed for production once the final design has been approved, we only have the concept images as of now.
Yamaha E01 and E02 Electric Scooter concepts surface; expected to launch in 2022
Yamaha first unveiled the E01 and E02 electric scooter concepts at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, as it sent a message that it was taking steps towards switching to cleaner energy options.
The company had been slow while embracing electric scooter development and it had partnered with e-scooter maker Gogoro.
There have been almost no details with respect to Yamaha’s progress in the development of these electric vehicles since 2019 when they were announced.
This has led to speculations that the project may have been abandoned or hit a bump in the road. Yamaha’s R&D development, however, was working hard to transform the concept into a reality. The main goal was to sustain Yamaha’s track record as a leading light in the two-wheeler market.
The Yamaha E01 electric scooter is a 125cc class scooter that will comply with regulatory requisites in Europe and Asia for its category.
It will have an output of 11kW or less and could potentially achieve speeds of 90km/h.
The Yamaha E02 e-scooter is smaller than the E01 and is expected to fall into the 50cc class. It offers seats for two persons and has a single-sided rear swingarm.
The Yamaha E02 could have removable batteries which are meant to enlarge its range. The smaller battery packs are lighter and have a lower capacity.
Yamaha’s past partnerships with Gogoro may mean that Gogoro will be providing its batteries in the models. No definitive date has been provided yet for the unveiling of the two Yamaha e-scooters.
