You may be surprised to discover that Yamaha developed the world’s first production eBike 30 years ago. In fact, Yamaha has been building eBikes for the Japanese market for the last three decades – as well as supplying the eKits that drive many of the eBikes sold in Europe. And the new MORO 07 is the start of an exciting new electric future for the company.
CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF EBIKE INNOVATION
Developed using Yamaha’s class-leading racing technology, the unique dual twin frame features twin top and down tubes for finely balanced rigidity that gives confident handling with plenty of surface feedback.
