Yamaha's New Patent Reveals Triple-Power-Source Hybrid — Is the Gearbox Becoming Obsolete?

Stuff like this always ends up expensive if it actually gets built, honestly fine with it staying at the patent stage.

Feel like Honda filed a similar hybrid patent too, the development race is heating up.

A scooter-looking hybrid like this, the definition of a motorcycle is already shifting.

A gearbox-less hybrid should lower environmental impact too, I welcome this direction.

Curious about the breakdown of the three power sources. Guessing it's engine + motor + battery, want the detailed specs.

Three power sources gets my heart racing way too much, Yamaha's cooked up another weird one.

Filing a patent doesn't mean it'll ship, Yamaha's got a track record of a lot of pie-in-the-sky EV concepts.
