Model Year 2021 New Product Information

Our society has seen significant transformation in urban mobility in the past few months. The bicycle is emerging as an obvious alternative to the crowded public transportation in big cities all over the world. Yamaha Motor answers to the public needs by introducing the PWseries CE drive unit and the External Crossover 500 battery as all new products to the Model Year 2021 line-up.

PWseries CE: natural and dependable ride

Yamaha Motor focused the PWseries CE development efforts in the achievement of natural enjoyable ride. Measures taken include: weight and noise reduction, implementation of the Automatic Support Mode and a renewed Walk Assist function.

Lightest drive unit

Starting at just 2.9kg, the PWseries CE is the lightest drive unit in the Yamaha Motor line-up. The rider should enjoy a light, swift handling while on the move and noticeable lightweight while pushing the bike around.

Most quiet drive unit

Yamaha Motor strived to offer its most quiet drive unit to date, reducing noise significantly. With the PWseries CE, early morning rides in the park closest to you instantly become a relaxing nature-immersive experience.

Compact design

he ideal of unity of power assist unit and bike is also perceivable to the eye. The PWseries CE compact design gives a sharp and overall clean look to the bike.

Automatic Support Mode

The quest for an ever more natural e-Bike ride goes beyond hardware improvements. The PWseries CE uses Yamaha Motor’s extensive software setting know-how in its Automatic Support Mode. The system copes swiftly with constant changes in riding conditions – think of those upwind rides, and constant stops and starts for traffic lights – by automatically selecting the most appropriate support mode. The Automatic Support Mode also provides strong and smooth support for every start. It can be deactivated at the will of the rider.

Walk Assist

Handling an e-Bike should not be a burden when you are off it. The renewed Walk Assist function in the PWseries CE comes in handy when pushing the bike, even up steep slopes or when the bike is carrying heavy loads.

External Crossover 500 Battery

Yamaha offers a full range of "Multi-Location" batteries with a compact, stylish shape that can be easily incorporated into the frame. However, for those who prioritize practicality, a battery mounted on the bike’s downtube or in front of the seat tube can be a proper option.
With versatility and practicality in mind, Yamaha Motor developed the new External Crossover 500 battery.

  • Intuitive lock-and-release system makes it easy to carry the battery for charging or storage at home.
  • The sleek design allows for semi-integration on the bike frame.
