Instead of having a handlebar like conventional motorcycles, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/yamaha-is-developing-eco-friendly-vehicles\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"92515\">Yamaha<\/a><\/strong> has replaced it with rigid grips that function as grab handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Yamaha Motoroid 2<\/strong> is clearly designed to be self-balancing and <strong>could potentially operate without a rider on board<\/strong> , meaning it can steer and maintain balance independently whether a rider is present or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When operating without a driver, the motorcycle uses facial recognition and gesture control to follow a person. In addition, it incorporates a central stand that deploys when you brake to park and is capable of being retracted autonomously when preparing to resume driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will it be available on the market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is unlikely that Yamaha will produce such an electric motorcycle on the market, it is interesting that the company sees the value of the idea by developing a second concept and also building a working prototype that it plans to show next month at the event <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.japan-mobility-show.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan Mobility Show 2023<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the aforementioned company, Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki is in the process of starting deliveries of its first two electric motorcycles for daily use: the Ninja e-1 and the Z e-1. Both are being released in North America, including the United States and Canada, as well as the United Kingdom. In the US market, the Ninja e-1 is priced at $7,599, while the 2024 Z e-1 starts at around $7,299.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is true that this motorcycle will not be available on the roads in the near future, Yamaha has developed and launched several lower-powered electric scooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source and photo: https:\/\/www.worldenergytrade.com\/innovacion\/movilidad\/yamaha-presenta-una-nueva-moto-electrica-de-autoequilibrio-sin-manillar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspenet, October 18, 2023.<br \/>\nYamaha introduced the Motoroid 2, a self-leveling electric motorcycle that moves away from conventional designs by eliminating much of the mechanics found in traditional motorcycles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8403,"featured_media":103535,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13034,13078],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-103555","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-curiosities","categoria_noticias-innovation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/103555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/103555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=103555"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=103555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
