JAKARTA - Not only cars, electric two-wheeled vehicles are the commodities currently being sought. Several manufacturers have begun to develop various types of electric two-wheeled vehicles, such as electric scooters, electric motors, and e-Bike.

Recently, Yamaha released two new e-Bike models, namely Booster and Booster Easy.

Quoted from InsideEVs, Monday, May 8, Booster and Booster Easy are the e-Bike S-pedelec families. The two-wheeled vehicle can also be seen as an electric moped.

In the exterior, both Booster and Booster Easy have similarities such as Fantatic Issimo which uses diecast frames and the use of 20-inch diameter tires.

Not only similar to Fantatic Issimo, but Yamaha also embeds the same driving system on Boosters. Using the PW-S2 drive unit, Yamaha Booster can produce a torque of 75 Nm. Meanwhile, Issimo only produces 95 Nm.

With this driving unit, it can make the Yamaha Booster go up to 45 km/hour. Then, in trim Easy only go up to a maximum speed of 25 km/hour.

Even though they have quite an identical performance and design, they both have the advantage of their respective distances.

In the Easy trim Booster, the manufacturer claims this e-Bike can cover a distance of 120 km in one battery charge. Meanwhile, for the trim Booster it is only 110 km.

Although the information obtained is quite limited, Yamaha confirmed that its latest e-Bike uses a forward shockbreaker similar to the one used in Issimo.

Booster and Booster Easy have five driving modes, consisting of +ECO, ECO, STD, HIGH, and AUTO. The lowest mode, namely +ECO, has a long range, while the highest mode of HIGH gives extraordinary performance.

This is not the first time Yamaha has produced electric two-wheeled vehicles. Previously, the brand had produced electric bicycles with models Moro 07, Wabash RT, and Crosscore RC.

Furthermore, Yamaha's experience in the design and manufacture of e-Bike has existed since the 1990s when the company produced the world's first electric-assisted bicycles. For three decades, Yamaha has also been one of the main producers of the driving unit used by many e-Bike manufacturers today
