Earlier in March, 2022, Yamaha Europe held its Switch On event, where it introduced a host of new and upcoming electric mobility options for the new year. E-bikes, two two-wheeled concepts, and a near-production NEO’s electric scooter all took the stage alongside Yamaha Motor Europe representatives. In addition, Yamaha Motor Europe introduced a light, effervescent aqua color as part of its EV branding going forward. The reasoning couldn’t be simpler: Yamaha Blue + environmentally-friendly green = aqua.
As we said, the electric Yamaha NEO’s scooter appeared to be very near-production in that presentation. Sure enough, on March 10, 2022, Yamaha officially launched the NEO’s electric scooter as a 2022 model. While the name NEO’s was previously used on a popular Yamaha combustion scooter, this represents the first electric scooter to bear that model name.
