At the Japan Mobility Show 2023 exhibition held from 25/10, Yamaha officially unveiled two impressive new concept electric bicycles.

One of the models is specifically designed for off-road riding with its 2WD drive system. The other model is suitable for mountain climbing, as it comes equipped with an advanced power steering system.

Yamaha Y-01W AWD

This is not Yamaha’s first model equipped with the 2WD drive system. The Japanese company had previously developed motorcycles using this drive system, but they were primarily used on racetracks due to their high costs.

Now, Yamaha has officially introduced this 2WD drive system to electric bicycles.

In addition to the center-mounted motor commonly used for rear-wheel drive bicycles, this electric bike also boasts a front-mounted center motor. This increases the bike’s power, making it easier to conquer challenging terrains. To provide enough energy for the two motors, Yamaha has equipped the bike with a second battery.

Yamaha has not disclosed specific details about the specifications of this concept bike. However, if classified as a speed bike in Europe, the Y-01W AWD can reach speeds of up to 25 km/h.

Currently, Yamaha has only developed the Y-01W AWD as a concept. It remains unclear whether the bike will be mass-produced in the future. However, with its striking appearance and practical features, it is highly likely that Yamaha will put this bike into production.

Yamaha Y-00Z MTB

In addition to the Y-01W AWD, Yamaha also introduced the Y-00Z MTB concept bike at the Japan Mobility Show 2023 exhibition.

True to its name, the MTB is a mountain bike designed for adventurous customers.

The bike has a similar appearance to conventional mountain bikes, but the notable feature of the Yahama bike is the electric power steering motor located on the front fork.

This feature helps the Y-00Z MTB achieve stability while riding on uneven terrains.
