Yamaha EC 06
The Yamaha EC-06 is designed for urban and intercity commutes. It is underpinned by an exclusive platform developed by River, though Yamaha clarified that it owns the usage rights, and River won’t be using this architecture for its own models.
It uses a 4.5 kW motor (6.7 kW peak) and a 4 kWh fixed battery, providing a range of up to 160 km. The EC-06 supports three riding modes, a reverse gear, and charges fully in around 9 hours via a home socket. It has a top speed of 90 kmph.
