Yamaha Motor Develops TY-E 2.0 Electric Trials Bike – A fun-based approach to realizing carbon neutrality headed for the world stage –

IWATA, March 24, 2022 – Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) introduced today that it has launched a new building prototype of the TY-E 2. electric trials bicycle, which methods obtaining carbon neutrality from the viewpoint of motorcycling exciting. The Business options to enter the bicycle in pick rounds of the 2022 FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) Demo Environment Championship.

In 2021, the Business reviewed the Yamaha Motor Group Environmental Approach 2050 at first formulated in 2018 and established a new target of aiming for carbon neutrality during all of its small business activities—including throughout the everyday living cycles of its products—by 2050.

The venture to create the TY-E 2. is underway as just one uniquely Yamaha strategy for reaching carbon neutrality. Under its Entertaining x EV development notion, the TY-E 2. aims to supply a lot more enjoyable than inside combustion engines by taking edge of the characteristics exceptional to electric powered cars, these kinds of as effective minimal-down torque and powerful acceleration.

The TY-E 2.0’s enhancement progressed based mostly on the very first TY-E product declared in 2018, and characteristics a newly made monocoque frame manufactured of composite laminates housing an electric powered electricity device with improved efficiency by way of a blend of mechanical components and electronic manage. The bike also mounts a recently produced lightweight battery with about 2.5 moments the ability of the preceding design.

The new TY-E 2. is scheduled to participate in the FIM Demo Globe Championship from June this year with Kenichi Kuroyama on the Yamaha Manufacturing facility Racing Group, who also serves as a enhancement rider. The TY-E 2. will also be exhibited at the Yamaha Motor booth at the 49th Tokyo Bike Demonstrate to be held from March 25 to 27.

■ Monocoque frame created of composite laminates

The TY-E 2. employs a monocoque frame made of composite laminates to contribute to lighter pounds and optimal rigidity. The format of the energy device and battery was reviewed and revised to attain a substantially reduce middle of gravity compared to the earlier design.

■ Recently designed lightweight battery with approx. 2.5x far more ability

Yamaha formulated a new high-capacity battery with higher output density and effectively retained the fat enhance down to some 20% even though reaching about 2.5 periods greater capacity than the preceding product.

■ Electric power device more refined by a mixture of mechanical areas and digital management

Dependent on the prior design, traction has been improved by pairing mechanical areas this kind of as the clutch and flywheel with diligently tuned electronic management for the motor that is capable of reading subtle variations in grip.
