In 1989 Yamaha created the world’s first prototype of an e‑bike and still innovates to continually deliver superior e‑bike technology, reliability, and PURE RIDE performance.
Yamaha's proprietary Triple Sensor System uses precise sensors to identify the conditions and movements of the rider providing the most natural pedaling sensation in e‑bike technology today.
As an OEM Top-Tier manufacturer, Yamaha ensures reliability by producing its own bicycles with unique specifications as well as its own motors perfectly suited for its bicycles. Many other brands pay a third-party supplier to produce their e-bikes, or buy the motors from a top-tier supplier.

The YDX-TORC is designed for a faster engagement than its urban counterparts. It is a hard-tail, which means it has front suspension but no rear suspension. It's also built with great stopping power to bail you out of unpredictable situations. This eBike consists of all of these features, all while including great cornering capability on switchbacks, tight terrain, and steep roads.
It's a superb choice for riding on trails, and it shines when on steep sections and corners. It handles marvelously no matter what type of riding environment you put it in, making it extremely versatile and reliable.
