Yamaha has announced a few updates to its first and only production electric scooter exclusively available in the Japanese market, the E-Vino. This scooter is based on the tiny Vino scooter, which has gained popularity in Japan thanks to its affordable price tag, cute styling, and ease-of-use. For the 2023 model year, the E-Vino offers just tad more utility, and a new colorway. Let’s take a closer look.
For starters, those looking to add the E-Vino to their collection, or perhaps use it as their primary means of transportation to get around the Japanese metropolitan districts, Yamaha has bumped up the bike’s battery capacity. Now at 12.2Ah, it’s capable of going a little bit further—though still not that far. If the previous model was able to cover 29 kilometers on a single charge, the updated version extends this range to 32 kilometers, making it clear that the E-Vino isn’t really meant to go beyond the confines of the city.
