In addition to its traditional outdoor use, the TY-E 2.0 has the potential to make trials more accessible and enjoyable as indoor motorsport. Yamaha say the design was inspired by the static and dynamic movements often seen in trials, such as suddenly scaling up a tall rock face from a standstill.
In addition to its removable battery, the NEO features a simple, stylish body and delivers the type of agile, smooth ride that only an electric scooter can deliver.
