At the last Tokyo Motorcycle Show, Yamaha revealed two rather attractive and very light electric motorcycle prototypes (between 94 and 110 kg): the intended for the road and the, its off-road version. These two models could be marketed within two years, which would make Yamaha the first Japanese manufacturer to actually embark on the electric motorcycle..

"These bikes will deliver the performance expected by motorcycle fans, while providing a new riding experience," said Yamaha executives. Equipped with an automatic or manual transmission and powered by lithium-ion batteries, the PES1 and PED1 would join the, the equivalent 50 cc electric scooter marketed by Yamaha since early 2011.
