YAMAHA showcased its latest Electric Powered Commuter Vehicle
Yamaha Motor Corporation is putting its latest developed electric powered commuter vehicles on display during the 41st Tokyo Motor Show. Yamaha latest development was based on promoting the concept of Light, Smart, Clean and Silent. Yamaha has achieved this through a slick design which featuring simplicity plus a futuristic styling to accommodate people of all ages regard less of their riding experience. The first in line-up is the EC-03 with a permanent magnet type synchronous motor with a rated output being equivalent to 50cc license category at less than 0.6 kW. It comes with a slim electric power unit and lithium-ion battery on a lightweight aluminum frame. The new EC-03 inherits Yamaha’s exclusive motor control technology contributing to a smooth start-up and acceleration. Built-in charger system on EC-03 provides a easy recharging from a home electric outlet.
The next models on the line-up are the EC-f and EC-fs, featuring a smooth and clean cut futuristic design resembling some of the vehicles that you see on Sci-Fi movies. The EC-f and EC-fs features a color scheme which helps to accentuate its cleanness as a commuter vehicle plus an emphasis on the stylishness.
The last model on my list is actually a prototype model of a hybrid bicycle. The “PAS er” brings with it the concept of a more advanced hybrid relationship between rider and the motor. The new PAS er comes with two electric motors which applied to the front and rear wheels plus an automatic electronic gear shift (transmission) contributing to a smooth ridding experience regardless of the road surface conditions. The motor on the front wheel is designed with a regenerative function capable of charging the battery even during deceleration or downhill ridding. The new PAS er comes with a sensor capable of monitoring the rider’s heart beat and adjust the assist level to help in maintaining an appropriate level of rider exertion. This functionality is provided through a large LCD meter panel with a speedometer and multi-information display showing calorie consumption, etc. The onboard battery is a lithium-ion type.
