The concept of four-wheel MWC-4 released earlier.
If you drive it, you will be the most beautiful boy in this street (but the problem is that you don't know when it will be driven
).
Recently, foreign media exposed a set of patent drawings of Yamaha's brand-new four-wheel vehicles.
The new car adopts a steering wheel design similar to that used in F1 racing cars instead of the traditional motorcycle handlebar.
As can be seen from the patent drawing, the new car that Yamaha is developing is four-wheeled, but it is different from the traditional car. With Yamaha LMW tilting technology, it can bend; At the same time, the steering wheel design similar to that used in F1 racing car has replaced the traditional motorcycle handlebar, which can neither be defined as a car nor a motorcycle. Is this a brand-new mode of transportation that Yamaha is pioneering?
Like the previous concept wagon, the new car adopts Yamaha LMW tilting technology.
Actually, this is not the first time that Yamaha has set foot in the four-wheel field. As early as the Tokyo Exhibition in 217, Yamaha exhibited a concept four-wheel MWC-4 with LMW tilting technology. From the patent map of this exposure, the appearance design of the new four-wheel model being developed is indeed similar to that of MWC-4. However, the adjustment of the new car from single-seat to two-seat and the control mode closer to the car show that the new four-wheel will be a car-oriented model.
The earlier MWC-4 was more inclined to be a four-wheel electric motorcycle.
In terms of power, the earlier MWC-4 used a hybrid electric system, and according to foreign media speculation, Yamaha is likely to use motors as the power source for the new four-wheeled vehicle. However, at present, from the patent drawing, it seems that there is not much extra space on the car body to install the battery, so the battery is likely to be at the bottom chassis position, and the center of gravity of the vehicle can be kept low.

In the face of Yamaha's new electric four-wheel model, some people may question that it has divorced from the attributes of motorcycles and will not be accepted by motorcycle riders. But in fact, with the gradual rise of electric vehicles, mini-cars that are light and easy to drive have been welcomed by many consumers. For example, ADIVA motorcycles also launched three-wheeled electric mini-cars in 221, and will continue to launch mini-four-wheeled cars in 221. Yamaha, also a motorcycle brand, may be targeting this kind of consumer market.

In addition, foreign media also mentioned that Yamaha and Toyota have a deep cooperative relationship, and Toyota just released the C+pod mini-electric car not long ago, which is ready to focus on the mini-car market. If Yamaha and Toyota cooperate to launch a mini-electric car equipped with LMW technology in the future, or launch this four-wheeled vehicle under the brand of Toyota, it will be a great surprise ~
