In addition to the characteristics unique to an electric motor, the Passion within the new riding experience these two EV (electric vehicle) motorcycle concept models offer is clear-cut, and they retain the same operational feeling that current motorcycle riders are used to. The Street sport “PES1” and Dirt sport “PED1” have a power unit (Yamaha Smart Power Module) with a monocoque structure that also functions as the frame. Supplementing the environmental performance inherent to an EV, both models are equipped with features like a transmission with manual and automatic modes, a removable battery for easy replacement and various types of smartphone information service functions. The design of the PES1 expresses an image of the electric motor’s “quiet maturity” and the “burning passion of a rider” that knows the joy in controlling a motorcycle, both in a way reminiscent of Yamaha Corporation’s “SILENT” line of musical instruments.
