Details of a twin-motor hybrid scooter Yamaha is developing have surfaced through a newly published patent.

A twin-motor hybrid scooter gets me excited, though it also stirs up a slightly complicated feeling in me. If a hybrid rides on top of a scooter's easy, convenient, quick nature, that's nothing but a plus. But watching electrification march forward like this also makes me a little nostalgic for the straightforward simplicity of my old JOG days. Well, progress is welcome all the same.

Watching this evolve continuously from last year's Proto HEV, you can gradually see how serious Yamaha is about it.

What's the point of a twin-motor setup - why isn't one motor enough?

Splitting roles between launch and cruising, or running just one motor for efficiency, is the real benefit of going twin-motor.

A twin-motor setup feels like it's heading a different direction from Honda's and Suzuki's hybrid approaches - interesting.

Yamaha keeps searching for ways to balance internal combustion with electric - feels like a grounded, very Yamaha approach, and I like it.

It's still just at the patent-filing stage, so there's no telling how long until this actually reaches production.

This twin-motor layout - the concept shown in the Proto HEV is steadily taking shape as an actual patent now.
