A Yamaha electric trials bike?
« on: March 21, 2018, 04:12:48 AM »

Motorcycle.com thinks so: http://www.motorcycle.com/mini-features/yamaha-trademarks-ty-e-possibly-for-a-new-electric-trial-bike.html

But you will note that the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers seem to be staying away from high-volume street-legal electric motorcycles, instead focusing their marketing on low-volume off-road motorcycles, or in the case of Honda, electric motorcycles that follow you around at slow speed like a lonely puppy dog.  ::)

Here is a review of a couple of Yamaha electric bicycles.  Baby steps for Yamaha.  ::) Maybe some day they will market a freeway-legal electric motorcycle.  Until then they have this: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/yamaha/2018-yamaha-ebikes-first-ride-review.html
