In Europe, electrification of the moped class is already tied to urban policy. Yamaha launching the JOG E nationwide in Japan at ¥323,400 shows that same trend finally descending to a realistic price bracket here too. A 53km range is a setting that soberly reflects real commuting distances. I appreciate the idea of a bike that fits daily life over an excessive spec race.

53km isn't enough for touring - this is purely a neighborhood runabout.

Electric mopeds are quiet, and it's a good trend seeing more of them.

159,500 yen for the base unit looks cheap, but the battery's sold separately, huh.

Right, add the battery and charger and it's 320k yen, so that's really the effective price.

93kg curb weight is on the heavy side for a 50cc-class moped - must be the battery.

320k all-in is a pretty steep price for the 50cc-equivalent class.

53km range isn't that short, is it? Might be cutting it close for a one-way commute though.
