Described as the second LMW (Leaning Multi Wheel) model in its “Growing World of Personal Mobility” strategy, Yamaha has announced a September European launch for the Tricity 155 - with a double front wheel, three-wheeled commuter equipped 155cc liquid-cooled “BLUE CORE” engine. As a global model being manufactured in Thailand, the commuter will then be released for sale in Japan, around Asia, and other countries in turn.
Developed around the concept of a “new standard City Commuter for greater range of mobility and pride of ownership”, the 155 follows the 2014 debut of Yamaha’s LMW technology with the Tricity 125.
The new model features “a combination of the BLUE CORE engine and Yamaha Motor’s proprietary LMW design to achieve both greater running performance and fuel efficiency, a newly designed frame with improved rigidity and expanded flat footboard areas to provide a more comfortable riding position, an expanded 23.5L under seat storage space, as well as an accessories compartment fitted with a DC power socket, a newly implemented parking brake and LED headlights and position lights, which create a high-quality feel”.
