Yamaha Motor presents the E01 electric scooter with fixed battery for road tests. The power is comparable to that of a 125cc and the autonomy of just over 100km.
Yamaha Motor has announced that it will progressively introduce the E01, an 8,1 kW class electric scooter using a fixed (non-removable) battery design, in Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand for trial testing on road from July 2022.
The E01 is an electric scooter with a usability equal to that of a gasoline scooter of the 50-125cc class and performance suitable for long-distance mobility, as well as being a scooter suitable for sharing.
The E01 will be manufactured at Iwata's main factory in Japan.
Key features of the E01 include:
- an electric motor developed and produced internally by Yamaha for high performance;
- a battery that offers approximately 104 km of autonomy on a full charge;
- a frame with a design that reflects the technology derived from sports bikes;
- a style based on the Jin-Ki Kanno EV Design Concept that puts the MOTOROiD2 ** model first.
** MOTOROiD: An experimental proof-of-concept electric motorcycle employing artificial intelligence that was exhibited at Tokyo Motor Show 2017 and aims for new forms of personal mobility in which the rider resonates harmoniously with the machine.
The Yamaha Motor Group's Environmental Plan 2050 sets the goal of reducing Scope 2 CO3 emissions (emissions produced by the company's value chain) by 90% by 2050 compared to 2010. The E01 is a strategic electric vehicle for achieve this.
