PHOTOバイクのニュース↗ View original

Yamaha's electric scooter JOG E went on sale nationwide on July 17, and a test-ride report has now been published. Buyers can purchase the bike with its battery outright, buy just the bike and rent the battery monthly through Gachaco, or use a swap-station sharing service on the go. Full purchase costs 323,400 yen, dropping to as low as 264,400 yen with subsidies applied.

So, does it have underseat storage? — that's my usual question, but what's more interesting here is the three ways to buy it. Buying just the bike and renting the battery monthly via Gachaco, or swapping it anywhere through the sharing service, is the kind of thinking only an electric scooter makes possible, and honestly I like this.

Buying just the bike and renting the battery feels beginner-friendly

With subsidies under 300k it might beat a moped on price

If comparing to a moped, I'd want to see running costs too

53km range is pretty short, strictly a commuter bike

For city use the math works out to charging twice a week

Love having three ways to buy, renting makes it easy to try
