Yamaha To Display E Bike Concept At MXoN
Y
amaha Motor is set to
display its YE-01 Racing
Concept at the Monster Energy
FIM Motocross of Nations 2026
in Ernee, France, starting on
October 2. The public unveiling
is aimed at eventual participa-
tion in MXEP, an electric moto-
cross racing series scheduled
to launch in the near future
under the FIM MXGP umbrella.
The YE-01 Racing Concept was
originally revealed at last year's
EICMA Show in Milan, Italy.
The YE-01 Racing Concept
has been jointly designed with
French electric motorcycle
manufacturer Electric Motion
SAS (EM) and developed un-
der the concept of "Expanding
the Possibilities of Riders and
Machines." The bike uses a
YZ450F chassis paired with EM's
power unit and aims to "preserve
the core appeal of motocross
while proposing a new form of
enjoyment that leverages the
unique characteristics of electric
power."
The new Yamaha is powered
by an AC synchronous motor
(liquid-cooled, high-output mo-
tor) with a Lithium-ion battery.
It also features a hydraulic, wet,
multi-plate clutch system, a
wheelbase of 58.07 inches, and
a ground clearance of 13.58
inches.
Yamaha Motor, in line with its
Yamaha Motor Group Environ-
mental Plan 2050, is working
toward achieving carbon neutral-
ity throughout its entire supply
chain, including the Company's
business activities, by 2050.
The Company will continue to
conduct R&D into a variety of
technologies, including electrifi-
cation, that contribute to sustain-
ability, pursuing a multi-pathway
approach toward achieving
carbon neutrality.
