Upcoming Yamaha E01 Electric Scooter Caught Testing

Yamaha upcoming electric scooter, the E01 has been spotted doing its trial run in Japan, signalling the Japanese marquee EV plans for 2022.

According to reports, Yamaha organized a test ride session with media companies in an effort to get inputs on the electric scooter.

Despite being heavily wrapped up in camouflage, the silhouette is clearly similar to the E01 concept showcased at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.

Nevertheless, we could see the tiny almost circular twin headlamps at the front similar to the one available on the R1 and the Tracer 9 GT.

Meanwhile, the dashboard features an all-digital LCD display which could also feature the Y-Connect system once the production model is out.

The Y-Connect function allows riders to connect the instrument cluster to a smartphone which displays turn-by-turn navigation.

The E01 also gets disc brakes (front and rear), twin shock absorbers, 13-inch wheels, ABS, keyless ignition and riding modes.

The Yamaha E01 could make its way to Europe and the Asian market soon.
