Yamaha has launched an advanced scooter equipped with an inbuilt airbag for enhanced safety.

Yamaha has upgraded the Tricity 300 scooter by adding an airbag feature, enhancing safety while retaining its existing market presence.

Yamaha collaborates with Autoliv to develop a specialized airbag system focused on technology and safety.

A new front airbag has been integrated into scooters, deploying quickly to protect the rider during a collision, enhancing safety.

Advanced simulations and real crash tests confirm the safety of the newly developed airbag system after passing rigorous testing.

Autoliv CEO Michael Braat states that two-wheeler riders have less safety compared to car drivers, but new technology can help save lives.

Airbags previously available in jackets for bikers are now being integrated directly into vehicles, marking a significant advancement in safety technology.

Yamaha joins Honda in offering airbag features for motorcycles, following the globally recognized Honda Gold Wing model.

Yamaha has listed its new scooter on the official website, but the price details have not yet been disclosed.

The Tricity 300, a three-wheeled scooter, features two front wheels and one rear wheel, enhancing stability for riders.

The new scooter features a spacious, wide seat accommodating two passengers comfortably, along with an expanded floorboard for added convenience.

The company has introduced a 292cc, 4-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, generating 20.6 kW power and 28.9 Nm torque.

The new scooter features a 4.2-inch TFT screen with on-screen navigation and smartphone connectivity.

The scooter weighs 242 kg and features a ground clearance of 130 mm, enabling smooth performance on rough terrains.

The scooter features a 13-litre fuel tank and delivers an average mileage of 30 km/l, covering 100 km with just 3.3 litres of petrol.
