Even though it launched a brand new EMF last year, Yamaha did not follow the traditional electric vehicle manufacturers' practices and gave up the earlier release of this small electric motorcycle. Instead, it brought the upgraded version of the EC-05 three years after its launch

Since the release of Yamaha EC-05 in 2019, Yamaha Taiwan has successively upgraded ECU electronics and upgraded accessories for this electric motorcycle . Even though the brand new EMF was launched last year, Yamaha did not follow the traditional electric vehicle manufacturers' practices and gave up this earlier Xiaodian Motor. Instead, three years after its launch, once again brought an upgraded version of EC-05. It is reported that in addition to upgrading the motor, the price of the 2022 version of Yamaha EC-05 has been greatly reduced.

In previous reports, we also introduced that Yamaha's EC-05 is based on Gogoro S2, but there are a little differences in appearance. The power unit is equipped with G2 aluminum alloy water-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor , which is also Gogoro S2. This time, the new version of has upgraded the motor to the same G2.2 aluminum alloy water-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor as the Gogoro SuperSport 6 released last month ( click here to learn more about the details of Gogoro SuperSport model ) . The power has also been slightly improved, with a maximum power of 7.6kW and a maximum torque of 28N·m. The maximum speed is 96km/h, and 0-50km/h only takes 3.9 seconds.

In addition, its vehicle-related APP has also been revised and upgraded simultaneously, adding 10 new functions such as vehicle diagnosis, battery service and Bluetooth car search. The 2022 EC-05 after the upgraded

also offers two versions: ABS and UBS. It is worth noting that the 2022 EC-05 price has been significantly reduced. The ABS version is priced at NT$496,980 (equivalent to about RMB 21,193), and the UBS version is NT$90,800 (equivalent to about RMB 19,882).

basic price is about NT$99,800 when it was released, which is about NT$2,000. Compared with the early price of , the configuration and performance of the new version of the 2022 Yamaha EC-05 is indeed very attractive.

But if it is put into the mainland market, the new Yamaha EC-05 may no longer have its original charm. Today, the high-speed electric motorcycle field in the mainland market has become much more active. For example, the polar core AE8 under Chunfeng has the strength to compete with EC-05. Moreover, the extreme core AE8 has better power performance than the EC-05, and the standard version of 17,999 yuan is also cost-effective than the UBS version of EC-05. If the spring breeze turns out in the opposite direction and competes in a straight line with EC-05, I wonder what the results will be?
