Yamaha had then announced that their production versions are planned for market launch in 2016, which suggested that the ongoing motor show would witness the market-ready models, but the PES2 and PED2 are still concepts, that feature closer-to-production elements than what were present on the PES1 and PED1.
Powering the Street sport “PES2” and Dirt sport “PED2”, is a new powertrain that is named Yamaha Smart Power Module. It is fastened to a monocoque structure that also functions as the motorcycle’s frame.
While the Yamaha PED2 is more of just an electric version of a dirt bike, the PES2 features an additional electric motor that is built into the hub of the front wheel, making it a 2WD motorcycle. Both bikes however fall under the same category of performance – Class II (50–125cc) mopeds and motorcycles.
