JAKARTA - With increasingly strict emission reduction regulations in the European Union, demand for environmentally friendly transportation and sustainable mobility is also increasing in the Blue Continent. Realizing this, motorcycle manufacturers are now interested in entering the European market with electric vehicles.

One of the manufacturers who saw this opportunity was Yamaha. They have developed a very interesting electric lattice model, namely E01. Since its introduction in the form of concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show October 2019, this skutik has gone through several years of trials and rental programs in Asia, such as Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and Indonesia. And now, Yamaha's adventure in presenting electric vehicles will continue by releasing E01 in the European market.

Launching from Rideapart on Monday, June 26, E01 has a uniqueness that distinguishes it from other electric scooters. The E01 driving motor is not as generally installed on the back, but is positioned uniquely in front of the awing arm. It aims to provide a better balance in this two-wheeled vehicle.

Not only that, Yamaha E01 also has impressive performance. Electric motors can generate up to 11 dk of power and 30.2 Nm of torque, thus providing a performance that is comparable to a 125 cc engine motorcycle that uses fuel.

This sticker is also equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 4.9 kWh and 87.6 V/56.3 Ah power, which allows it to cover a distance of up to 104 km. In addition, Yamaha E01 has extraordinary charging capabilities. By using fast chargers 220 V and 130 Ampere, this battery can be charged from 0 to 90 percent in just about an hour.

Although there is no official date yet and price for the Yamaha E01 launch in Europe, this bike has been spotted on the French streets while being tested. It is hoped that this sticker will be available across Europe by 2024, providing an attractive alternative for electric motorcycle lovers in the Blue Continent.
