IWATA, November 10, 2026 - Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) announced today that its subsidiary ENYRING GmbH (ENYRING; Head Office: Berlin, Germany) will launch a pilot service in Berlin, Germany, from end of October 2026 combining ENYRING electrically power-assisted bicycles, swappable batteries, and battery-swapping stations. Several partner companies engaged in businesses including delivery services, employee mobility services, and bike rental services will participate in the pilot to evaluate the effectiveness of the service and identify operational challenges in actual business environments.
For this pilot, ENYRING electrically power-assisted bicycles will be provided to the partner companies, which will also make use of ENYRING's network of battery-swapping stations located throughout Berlin. The entire system, combining swappable batteries and stations, operations management software, and support services, will be tested in actual operating environments, with data collected on factors including vehicle utilization rates and operational efficiency. In addition, the pilot will evaluate the effectiveness of the battery-swapping infrastructure across a variety of use cases, with a view to future service deployment.
ENYRING is a subsidiary established by Yamaha Motor in Berlin, in December 2023. Under the slogan "Ride the Change," ENYRING aims to provide new value for urban mobility through electrically power-assisted bicycles, swappable batteries, and battery-swapping stations, reduce environmental impact, and establish a sustainable circular business model.
