Latest Company Updates:
October 2023- When Yamaha first revealed the Motoroid electric motorcycle concept roughly six years ago, it looked like a contraption out of a science-fiction movie. Now that the company has unveiled a new, refined Yamaha Motoroid 2, the wild self-balancing electric motorcycle looks like it could be one small, weird step closer to reality. The Yamaha Motoroid 2 takes significant liberties with its design, eschewing much of the mechanics of traditional motorcycles. The rear swingarm provides suspension like most typical motorbikes but also incorporates a pivot that allows the rear half of the bike to lean independently on the front. The rear houses a hub motor that gets powered by a rather small-looking underslung battery pack. The front fork, which New Atlas describes as operating "mercifully normal" compared to the rest of the bike, provides steering in a non-traditional method. That's because there are no handlebars like anyone had found on a conventional motorcycle. Instead, the handlebars have been replaced by rigid hand grips – essentially handles to hang on to. In fact, it's not even clear exactly how the front fork rotates or how the pivoting rear swingarm could potentially aid in steering.
October 2023- After newly launching a production version of the BMW CE 02, the company has now started production of the commuter electric motorcycle. BMW Motorrad launched the BMW CE 02 earlier this summer, presenting it as a smaller and lower-power alternative to its CE 04 electric motorbike. Compared to the higher price tag of around US USD12,000, the CE 02 is priced at just US USD7,599.
