IWATA, March 23, 2018 Yamaha announced today that it has developed the TY-E electric trial bike — taking advantage of the unique features of electrical power — and has been working toward competing for the first time in the 2018 FIM Trial-E Cup with scheduled appearances at the Auron in France through July 14-15, and the Comblain au Pont in Belgium through July 21-22.

In participation of the competition, Kenichi Kuroyama — who is currently competing in the IA Super class of the All Japan Trial Championship — will represent the Yamaha Factory Racing Team. The TY-E will also be on display at the Yamaha Motor booth in this year’s Tokyo Motorcycle Show, being held at the Tokyo Big Sight from today.

The TY-E is an advanced development deriving from the company’s “Evolving R & D” activities. The “Evolving R & D” uses 5% of its working hours at the Research and Development Division, and at the discretion of its staff, is used as an opportunity to provide voluntary and autonomous activities for creating innovation while not being bound by conventional frameworks. It is here that we focused on a trial model for competition and worked on its development to help overcome EV development problems such as high output from small sized and lightweight components, and the ease of riding that responds as the rider would intend.
