As seen in the video, the Takashi Hara, a member of Yamaha’s Engineering division 2 explains, “We developed the EV motors first with our motorcycles, and we’ve continued that work, but also combined the know-how from our engines to create these new units.”
Hara goes on to say that the new 35 kW motor will be suitable for all small mobility motorcycles.
The other one is a 150 kW motor that will be used for electric cars. Hara also says compactness was of paramount importance and have leveraged their casting technologies to create an overall compact unit.
