Compact design

The ideal of unity of power assist unit and bike is also perceivable to the eye. The PWseries CE compact design gives a sharp and overall clean look to the bike.

Automatic Support Mode

The quest for an ever more natural e-Bike ride goes beyond hardware improvements. The PWseries CE uses Yamaha Motor’s extensive software setting know-how in its Automatic Support Mode. The system copes swiftly with constant changes in riding conditions – think of those upwind rides, and constant stops and starts for traffic lights – by automatically selecting the most appropriate support mode. The Automatic Support Mode also provides strong and smooth support for every start. It can be deactivated at the will of the rider.

Walk AssistUPDATED

Handling an e-Bike should not be a burden when you are off it. The renewed Walk Assist function in the PWseries CE comes in handy when pushing the bike, even up steep slopes or when the bike is carrying heavy loads.
