This is a hybrid motorcycle with a petrol engine and an electric motor, with the electric motor kicking in during acceleration to assist the engine and switching over when cruising to perform a electricity generating function that re-charges the battery.
The engine-braking force created during deceleration is also used to generate electricity to charge the battery.
Yamaha’s YIPU (Yamaha Intelligent Power Unit) is built into the rear hub to provide the electric power during acceleration and when wheeling the vehicle by hand, and it also provides a reverse function.
