Yamaha has announced two new electric vehicles designed to meet the increasingly need for “clean sustainable transportation solutions.”
The Yamaha Booster Easy e-bike and Yamaha Booster S-Pedelec electric moped build upon technology the company has been delivering since 1993, when they pioneered the electric-powered bicycle.
Both models sport an aluminum U-frame, an exposed diecast section, and Yamaha’s own fork cover and front fender.
Both vehicles have 20-inch wheels with 4-inch tires, and offer up to 75Nm of torque.
The Booster Easy e-bike (above) has instant pedal assistance through the Yamaha PWseries-S2 drive unit that Yamaha says gives a totally natural riding feeling.
A 630Wh 36 volt Yamaha battery powers maximum assisted speed of 25km/h and a range of up to 120 km.
Both models, while the battery can yield up to 120km on a single charge.
The Booster Easy has a 1.7-inch LCD display while the S-Pedelec comes with a 2.8-inch color dot-matrix TFT display.
The Booster S-Pedelec (above) can hit speeds of 45km/h, meaning it needs a license and the bike must be registered to be ridden on public roads.
Release dates for Australia are currently unknown; the Booster Easy is available in Europe, and the S-pedelec will be available in June in select markets.
