With a displacement of 292 cubic centimeters, this liquid-cooled single-cylinder is one of the most cutting-edge assemblies in the segment with a single-piece forged crankshaft and a semi-dry sump lubrication system (Wet Sump).
An advanced engine, exemplary cornering performance, and plenty of comfort. With the new Yamaha Tricity 300, the manufacturer aims at providing an attractive alternative to the car. This created a really imposing vehicle with a massive front fairing that makes its presence felt quite aggressively. To do so, the Japanese combined their three-wheeler concept from the 125cc Tricity scooter with the spectacular three-wheeled Niken motorcycle. Such a standard could make it easier for the manufacturers to develop electric motorcycles around an existing battery architecture.Introducing the Tricity 300, the third trike from Yamaha. Honda recently joined a consortium along with other major manufacturers to develop a shared standard for swappable batteries. Now, Honda and others are scrambling to grab their own slice of that pie. Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire electric motorcycle became the best-selling electric motorcycle in the US, according to the company, and demonstrated that legacy manufacturers could apply their existing resources to develop electric vehicles. Energica electric motorcycles riding in formation Honda and the other major legacy motorcycle manufacturers are largely playing catchup when it comes to electric motorcycles.Įlectric-only startups like Zero Motorcycles and Energica have proven that demand exists for powerful electric street bikes. We don’t have any indication of what Honda’s larger electric motorcycle could be, other than an off-the-wall patent that Honda filed for an electric motorcycle with a drone built into its tail. The second patent we’ve seen from Honda shows what appears to be a Honda Grom motorcycle sporting an electric conversion. That model could be particularly interesting since it is based on a bike designed for new riders - and electric motorcycles have proven to be a favorite among new riders. The first patent includes what appears to be a CB125R with an electric powertrain. Two different patents have shown off a pair of electric Honda motorcycles. There’s a decent chance that we’ve actually already seen what could potentially become Honda’s first lightweight electric motorcycle. Such lightweight electric motorcycles have proven to be a popular starting point, with Husqvarna recently announcing its own lightweight electric motorcycle concept known as the E-Pilen. The first three models that are slated for release by 2024 appear to include two electric scooter-style vehicles and a small format electric motorcycle.Īll would likely be in the 125cc-equivalent or less category, with their main uses being for urban transport. However, we have learned that the first three will target the urban market, while the fourth will be a larger electric motorcycle designed for the “Fun” market. The company hasn’t revealed any firm details about the size or type of the new electric two-wheelers. And with motorcycles making up a decent chunk of Honda’s sales, the company is now announcing plans for four new models of electric motorcycles. Honda recently announced a big push for electrification, pledging that it would be 100% electric by 2040, at which point it would no longer sell gas-powered vehicles.
