This is a parallel hybrid type motorcycle with a gasoline engine and an electric motor that function in parallel, with the electric motor kicking in during acceleration to assist the engine and switching over during cruising to perform a electricity generating function that re-charges the battery.
The engine-brake force created during deceleration is also used to generate electricity to charge the battery.
Yamaha's YIPU electronic drive unit is built into the rear hub to provide the electric power assist during acceleration and when wheeling the vehicle by hand, and it also provides a reverse function.
In a collaboration with Yamaha Corp. (music) this model also mounts a spetial audio system. |
