# Yamaha is preparing to launch another electric scooter, design filings show

Yamaha may not have found runaway success with its previous electric scooters, but new design filings suggest the company isn’t giving up on battery-powered two-wheelers just yet.

As first spotted in Japanese design registration documents and recently reported by AMCN, Yamaha appears to have a new production-ready electric scooter waiting in the wings. While the styling is fairly conservative, the scooter features several engineering choices that set it apart from the growing crowd of electric commuters.

The scooter looks to fall into the 125cc-equivalent category, with proportions similar to Yamaha’s current RayZR 125. But unlike many electric scooters that integrate the motor directly into the rear swingarm, this model appears to use a centrally mounted electric motor driving the rear wheel via a belt. That layout is more reminiscent of typical moto-design and could potentially offer improved weight distribution and suspension performance.

The battery pack also appears to be housed beneath the seat, where it is likely designed to be removable, following the approach Yamaha already uses on its NEO’s electric scooter with swappable batteries. However, Yamaha has used multiple sizes and styles of removable batteries in its electric scooters, so it is not clear exactly which model would be employed here.
