The Yamaha Jog E electric scooter is a new launch primarily aimed at urban commuters in Japan, practically restricted to areas such as Tokyo and Osaka for its sales. It embodies a classic scooter design with the new-age EV technologies and hassle-free features specially devised for efficient city riding and environmental goals.
Design and Dimensions
The Yamaha Jog E has a nostalgic yet clean design with a rounded main headlamp and LED lighting for night visibility. The scooter is 1,795 mm long, 680 mm wide, and 1,140 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 1,300 mm. The styling combines traditional Yamaha scooter elements with contemporary EV design cues, the graphical accents reflect its electric lineage.
Motor and Performance
The Jog E runs with a rear in-wheel AC synchronous motor that develops around 1.7 kW (approximately 2.3 PS) and 90 Nm of torque. This motor configuration is optimized for stop and go urban use. The scooter is rated for a maximum range of approximately 53 kilometers with constant speed riding at 30 km/h on a single charge of its battery. Its performance matches common city commuting practices, with focus on efficiency and easy control.
Battery & Charging
Another distinct feature of the Jog E is that it comes with a battery swapping mechanism. It uses the Honda Mobile Power Pack a modular battery shared among several Japanese EV brands. A buyer gets only the vehicle body; to operate, they must subscribe to a paid battery swap service via Gachaco.
The Gachaco system enables riders to swap batteries rather than wait for charging, allowing for increased convenience for the daily urban rider.
Other Features
The Jog E gets a digital meter panel displaying vehicle information. Functional headlamps will shine towards the direction where the handlebars are turned. LED lighting is standard for better visibility and modern aesthetics. Two color options are available: Dark Gray with cyan accent graphics and Light Gray with a slightly textured material finish. The scooter has an ideal moderate weight for city riding and parking.
Environment and Market Positioning
Yamaha positions the Jog E as one of its numerous efforts concerning environmental goals that go all the way to carbon neutrality by 2050. The model Classifies under the new emission rules for motorcycles less than 50cc, which come into effect in late 2025 in Japan. The model represents Yamaha’s standard electric scooter for urban mobility, backed up with an easy-to-use swappable battery ecosystem as a sign of the shift toward sustainable, low-emission transport.
