Yamaha used to produce a fat-tire moped, the only bike visible to the public. It provided riders with unparalleled levels of freedom. Yamaha is now ready to switch everything back on and usher in a new era of zero-emission urban transportation with the BOOSTER electric moped. This widget combines an e-bike’s convenience with a moped’s performance.

Features and Benefits
Yamaha has introduced two new electric models to its already broad array of class-leading Urban Mobility products: the BOOSTER Easy eBike and the BOOSTER S-pedelec electric.
Yamaha’s recent announcements about the new NEO electric scooter, as well as the release of the Moro 07, Wabash, and Crosscore eBikes, as well as the introduction of these chic and avant-garde new BOOSTER models, highlight the company’s ongoing efforts to become a leading player in the European 2-wheel EV market.
Yamaha’s Switch ON strategy, unveiled in early 2022, signals the beginning of an exciting new era in developing and manufacturing the next generation of electric vehicles. Many commuters nowadays deliberately seek out zero-emission personal autos. Yamaha’s growing electric model selection offers a safe, trustworthy, and efficient recreational, sporting, and daily use solution.
Created with Yamaha’s 30 years of EV experience
Thirty years after introducing the world’s first eBike, Yamaha is still at the forefront of research, design, and manufacture of zero-emission 2-wheel electric scooters, eBikes, and pedelecs. Furthermore, Yamaha is a significant manufacturer of the drive units that power several e-bike models manufactured by other firms. Yamaha has accelerated its efforts to become a carbon-neutral firm by 2035, in addition to being a prominent manufacturer of zero-emission automobiles that contribute to building a cleaner environment.
New BOOSTER Easy and BOOSTER
Yamaha’s new 2023 BOOSTER Easy eBike and 2023 BOOSTER S-pedelec electric were designed in Europe to meet the rising need for calm, accessible, and clean urban mobility. A few decades ago, a younger generation of motorcycle enthusiasts looking for adventure and independence on two wheels fell in love with Yamaha’s legendary BW’s scooter and the best-selling MBK Booster.
The new 2023 Yamaha Booster Electric Bike, with a robust and classic chassis design and a class-leading Yamaha motor unit, are designed to give modern urbanites an accessible, entertaining, and inexpensive way to go around their towns and cities without creating emissions.
BOOSTER Easy and BOOSTER: What’s the difference?
Yamaha’s new BOOSTER Easy and 2023 Yamaha Booster Electric Bikeshare numerous technological commonalities and a virtually identical look, thanks to the same lightweight chassis design. What distinguishes them is how they perform: The BOOSTER is an AM-licensed electric moped or S-pedelec with a top pedal-assisted speed of 45 km/h, while the BOOSTER Easy is an eBike with a top pedal-assisted speed of 25 km/h.
Contemporary and minimalistic design
The original 50cc Yamaha and MBK “”fat tire”” scooters, which defined the lives of thousands of European teenagers in the 1980s and 1990s, have been largely replaced by the BOOSTER models, which are easy to maintain, enjoyable to ride, and accessible to a broad range of customers of all ages and backgrounds.
The sleek and futuristic design features spoked wheels with massive 20″” x 4″” tires, an exposed diecast metal front frame, and a typical U-frame layout for easy on/off. The new BOOSTER versions, powered by the smooth-driving Yamaha PW-S2 drive unit, are designed to provide simple access to the city’s various attractions for the younger generation of riders who live, work, and play there.
Exclusive Yamaha body components
The BOOSTER models have access to a selection of unique chassis pieces that improve the enjoyment and utility of the look and feel of these brand-new zero-emission vehicles. With Yamaha-only fork covers, a front plate cover, a front mudguard, and a Supernova headlight, the bike’s front end is meant to look sleek and unified.
Cables are hidden behind ducting for smoother lines, and chain and engine covers enhance the BOOSTERS’ outstanding artistry. Both variants contain an integrated Koso LED taillight, an adjustable Royal Orbis seat, and a large rear carrier.
Comfortable and agile, perfect for urban mobility
The BOOSTER models, among the most accessible powered two-wheel versions today, represent the next wave of urban mobility. The large 20″” x 4″” tires, which give excellent grip in various road conditions, enable comfort when riding over rough terrain. The adjustable seat height, in addition to the shock-absorbing high-profile tires, helps riders of all sizes to find their ideal riding posture. The smooth front suspension also aids in bump absorption. This zero-emission 2-wheeler is the more innovative way to go since it includes an easy-to-access front component made of diecast aluminum, ensuring a low center of gravity and high agility while allowing for speedy entry.
Smooth and Reliable Yamaha power
Yamaha has thirty years of experience developing and manufacturing superior e-bike drive units, and the BOOSTER models include the most recent PWseries S2 motor, which is among the most advanced models in its class. The silent-running PWseries S2 drive unit is exceptionally light and tiny, weighing only 2.85 kg, and developed with the concept of ” less is more.”
The PWseries S2 has a torque-to-weight ratio of 75Nm, among the highest in its class. It enables the BOOSTER to accelerate smoothly and organically. This trustworthy, high-tech design has a smooth power delivery system and several industry-leading electronic control technologies for a smooth and pleasant ride. To make riding more accessible and enjoyable, Yamaha’s Zero Cadence technology provides rapid assistance as soon as pedaling input is detected, and the Automatic Support Mode provides more excellent power assistance when needed, such as when going up hills or into headwinds.
Riders may also select the Walk Assist Mode, which makes pushing the vehicle simpler in pedestrian-only zones where riding is banned, or the Zero Mode, which completely disengages the drive unit and relies only on pedal power.
Yamaha 36V 630 Wh battery
The BOOSTER Easy and BOOSTER come with a 630Wh 36V battery that promptly and reliably powers the PW series S2 drive unit. The readily detachable unit is positioned in the center for easy access and to concentrate bulk for agile and responsive handling. If the device is removed, the battery can be charged remotely or on-site.
Performance and range
According to European eBike standards, the maximum aided speed of BOOSTER Easy is 25 km/h. Riders can select the Zero-mode for faster pedal-only downhill riding. The user can choose between five modes: +ECO, ECO, STD, HIGH, and AUTO. It allows consumers to tailor the bike to their riding style and range requirements.
The usual range with a 75kg rider is up to 120km in +ECO mode and 60 km in HIGH mode. The Yamaha drive unit’s torque ratio is 50% in +ECO mode and climbs to 280% in HIGH mode.
BOOSTER is categorized as an electric moped (L1e), and its riders must be insured and have an AM license. To meet the conditions, the rider can select +ECO, ECO, STD, HIGH, and AUTO settings. A cyclist weighing 75 kg may go 110 kilometers in +ECO mode and up to 50 kilometers in HIGH mode.
The torque ratio provided by the Yamaha drive unit starts at 60% in plus ECO mode and escalates to 400% in HIGH mode, resulting in this electric moped falling at 40 km/h and stopping before 45 km/h.
Intuitive user interfaces
The new 2023 Yamaha Booster Electric Bike has the latest Yamaha Display C user interface, which is centralized and incorporates a vast 2.8-inch full-color dot matrix TFT display and a separate control switch. The statistics displayed are battery capacity, riding speed, assist mode, range, clock, trip durations, cadence, calorie consumption, and time. By connecting a Smartphone via Bluetooth®, riders may have access to several fitness and navigation apps, enhancing their entire riding experience.
BOOSTER Simple operations
The 1.7-inch LCD-equipped Display A interface from Yamaha is simple. Its basic design includes integrated buttons, a trip meter, an odometer, a range, and ”always on” information like assist mode, battery capacity indication, and speedometer.
