JAKARTA - Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. participated in the Japan Mobility Show 2025 Exhibition which will take place from late October to early November.

Present at the 5-place East Hall booth, created around the Japanese manufacturer's "Traise the Future of Human-Symbol Mobility" will feature 6 world premiere models among the 16 total models on display, including a prototype of mid-development, electric and hybrid motorcycles, eBikes, and a model of the concept of electric wheelchairs.

So what stole the show? From VOI's observation on its official website, there are several models that are quite interesting and even made global debuts.

MOTOROID

The MOTOROid project was launched to explore new possibilities for human-machine relations. In 2017, a prototype proof of the first MOTOROid concept was launched, able to stand alone and interact independently with its riders. This was followed in 2023 by MOTOROid2, which indicates that motorists and machines can respond to each other like partners. And this year MOTOROid: is able to learn and develop independently through strengthening learning.

TRICERA proto

This three-wheel electric motorcycle with an open roof explores a new type of driving pleasure. The TRICERA prototype is a prototype that functions using a three-wheel steering system (3WS) that provides a stimulating tilting performance and a novel steering sensation that makes learning to master fun by itself.

Focusing on fast-binding responses and driver connections at the center bend typical of all-wheel steering vehicles, the turning control system has been tuned with a human research perspective, to maximize driver pleasure and achieve a new level of driver-machine unity. The TRICERA prototype also features our AD's sound control device, which transforms and tunes the sound of electric motors to amplify the excitement and further attract drivers into the experience. Visually, the curved silhouette of the middle frame emphasizes its triple-wheeled structure, while contrasting between "human space" and "functional space" provides a very innovative design exterior.

BEV PROTO

This motorbike is a work prototype created around the idea of "favors that can only be experienced with large-capacity battery EVs." To maximize that pleasure, light weight and cohesiveness are prioritized, producing easy-to-use EV supersport bicycles with new driving characters and nuances. It combines the stability of the well-known Yamaha Motor handling on conventional-internal combustion engine models with a typical EV battery-linear shuttle response and smooth and powerful acceleration.

In addition, the human-machine interface is aimed at helping users focus on driving on the track, displaying simple controls grouped at their radii and visualizers of instruments and sound devices that communicate bicycle status both visually and heard.

HEV PROTO

This series-parallel hybrid prototype (SPHEV) offers special excitement for freely switching between two different performance characteristics. Electric motors and internal combustion engines are integrated using an efficient packaging design that allows mixed driving modes. Bicycles can be calm and quiet when on city streets and then provide a strong and reliable performance in rural areas.

In addition, power and energy management technology exclusively increases fuel efficiency by more than 35 percent compared to vehicles in the same class. HEV PROTO combines Fun to Ride with excellent environmental performance.

PHEV PROTO

This R&D prototype combines a draw on internal combustion engines with EV technology to expand the way motorists can enjoy big motorcycles. By switching between engine mode and electric driving, PHEV PROTOs can be operated in full or hybrid EV mode according to the needs of the situation. This combines high environmental performance while maintaining established pleasure from sporty motorcycles, connecting potential internal combustion engines that are still not being utilized in the future.
