Yamaha has released its newest e-bike motor called the PWseries C2, a new system optimized for urban and commuter electric bicycles.
derived from the popular PW-CE range of motors, but here, delivers 10 percent more torque, providing improved all-around performance optimized for street use. On top of that, its compact dimensions mean that e-bike designers can adopt various frame designs to integrate the new motor.
According to Yamaha, the new PWseries C2 tips the scales at no more than seven pounds , making it an ideal solution for compact and lightweight urban e-bikes. With 39 pound-feet of torque on tap, it’s not the most powerful motor out there, but it promises enough punch to be able to carry you and your cargo up some pretty steep hills.
More specifically, the motor uses a range of sensors to offer the Automatic Support Mode, which automatically switches between four different assist settings depending on the terrain and other conditions. Of course, riders can also manually select their desired assist level. These consist of Eco+, Eco, Standard, and High, and will all be accessible either through a mobile app or a bike-mounted controller, depending on the models this motor will be found in.
Yamaha states that the new PWseries C2 will be fully compatible with all Yamaha displays and battery configurations, making it easy for existing Yamaha-powered e-bikes to adopt the system on new iterations of their bikes. As mentioned, Yamaha’s new e-bike motor is designed for use on urban and commuter bikes, which are among the most popular segments in the e-bike industry.
