ATV Industry Facts: Did You Know?

Yamaha’s looking forward by looking back.

Yamaha USA is about to make a splash in a new off-road (and on road) arena in the form of one of the longest standing vehicles around: the bicycle.

Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, announces its complete line of Power Assist Bicycles for the U.S. market will be on display at the 2018 Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California, from April 19 to 22. This will be the first public display of the e-Bikes since Yamaha announced these bad boys last month.

This summer, Yamaha is bringing four all-new Power Assist Bicycle models to the U.S., including the CrossConnect, a completely accessorized commuter/utility bike, the CrossCore, a high style efficient fitness bike, the UrbanRush, a drop-bar do everything road bike, and YDX-TORC, a performance hardtail e-mountain bike.

Consumers will have the opportunity to see the bikes on display and speak with Yamaha representatives before the lineup’s official launch next month.

Bonus Fact: While this line of e-Bikes are new to the US market, Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. (YMC) launched the world’s first electrically power assisted bicycle in 1993 and has since produced more than 4 million drive units and sold over 2 million Yamaha power assist bicycles. YMC supplies class-leading e-Bike systems to select OEM partners worldwide.
