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.

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.
