The first electric motorcycle from Yamaha is called EC-f scooter, first met public at Tokyo Motor Show two weeks ago. The motorcycle is powered by a 0.6 kWh electric motor, with a durable rechargeable lithium ion battery.
You could recharge the motorcycle’s battery simply by plugging into ordinary power socket. It has a stylish looking and it was built using lightweight aluminum and the ergonomic design is meant to be a parking space saver.
The idea of the funkily-styled EC-f models is to encourage more people on to two wheels in towns. Yamaha has joined up with all the major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers to encourage this with more free parking spaces for motorcycles and scooters as well as easier access to 125cc licences.
However, no further info on pricing and availability yet.
