It was developed as part of their Evolving R&D program, which allows engineers to use 5% of their work hours on projects of their own choosing in order to spur innovation. Now, Yamaha has gone back to the drawing board to create the TY-E 2.0, featuring a newly designed frame, an improved electric power unit, and a newly developed lightweight battery with approximately 2.5x greater capacity.

The TY-E 2.0 will be entered into certain rounds of the FIM Trial World Championship with Kenichi Kuroyama again with the Yamaha Factory Racing Team, and Yamaha hopes to see this new and improved version not only post solid results but also demonstrate their dedication to making electric motorcycles fun as well as eco-friendly.

Monocoque frame made of composite laminates

The TY-E 2.0 employs a monocoque frame made of composite laminates to contribute to lighter weight and optimal rigidity. The layout of the power unit and battery was reviewed and revised to achieve a significantly lower center of gravity compared to the previous model.
