In a world where the wheels keep turning, it’s refreshing to witness a company that has stood the test of time. Yamaha is commemorating a remarkable 30-year journey since its launch of the world’s first power-assist bicycle in 1993, a momentous occasion that marks its unwavering commitment to innovation. 

When it comes to electric bikes, Yamaha has been a trailblazer, paving the way for an electrifying revolution in the outdoor industry. With three decades of unrivaled expertise and a passion for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, it’s no wonder the brand has emerged as an industry leader.

“30 years says it all,” says Lance Camisasca, Show Director for (e)revolution. “They had the foresight to see the future with e-bikes.”

As Yamaha takes center stage at the (e)revolution trade show, the spotlight is firmly fixed on their latest marvel, the tantalizing YDX-MORO 07, which is being unveiled to the public for the very first time.

This special edition two-wheeler is a testament to the brand’s dedication to precision engineering, advanced technology, and an unyielding quest for perfection; its sleek design with a harmonious blend of form and function screams speed and adventure.

With its innovative Dual Twin frame, the bike achieves the perfect balance of strength and agility, allowing riders to conquer challenging terrains with ease, while also ensuring a comfortable and responsive ride. Equipped with Yamaha’s cutting-edge PW-X3 drive unit to provide smooth and powerful assistance, the ride delivers an electrifying boost to your pedaling prowess.
