Yamaha Motor develops TY-E 2.0 electric trials bike

Yamaha Motor today introduced the TY-E 2.0 electric trials bike. This is the next step in making motorcycling climate-neutral. The bike is set to be used at select rounds of the 2022 FIM Trials World Championship. In 2018, the company set itself the goal of becoming carbon neutral in all business areas by 2050. The development of the TY-E 2.0 is an important and unique approach by Yamaha to taking the next step towards that goal. As part of the FUN x EV concept, the TY-E 2.0 aims to provide unparalleled driving pleasure through the characteristics of an electric vehicle.

The development of the TY-E 2.0 is based on the first TY-E model announced in 2018. It features a redesigned composite laminate monocoque frame that houses an electric drive unit. The bike is also equipped with a newly developed, lightweight battery that has around 2,5 times the capacity of the previous model. The new TY-E 2.0 is set to compete in the FIM Trials World Championship from June this year with Kenichi Kuroyama on the Yamaha Factory Racing Team, who also serves as a development rider. The TY-E 2.0 will also be on display at the Yamaha Motor booth at the 49th Tokyo Motorcycle Show, taking place from March 25th to 27th.

Composite laminate monocoque frame

  • The TY-E features a monocoque frame made from composite material laminates that contribute to reduced weight and optimal rigidity. The layout of the drive and battery has been revised to compare to the previous model.

Newly developed lightweight battery with more capacity

  • Yamaha has developed a new high-performance battery with higher power density and has managed to limit the weight increase to around 20% while achieving a capacity around 2,5 times that of the previous model.

The power unit is further refined by a combination of mechanical parts and electronic control

  • Based on the previous model, traction has been improved by combining mechanical parts such as the clutch and flywheel with a carefully tuned electronic engine control capable of detecting the slightest changes in traction.
