The delivery partner has finally gone electric. I used to ride around on a JOG myself, and for commercial scooters, ease and convenience are everything. Handling hills and cargo with two batteries is a lifesaver for people on the job. No engine noise means less worry about morning deliveries too. An electric bike carrying on the GEAR name - I want to root for this one.

Isn't it weird for a Yamaha moped to run on a Honda battery? No friction there?

It's an agreement to standardize swappable batteries across manufacturers. That's actually a good direction.

100km range with two batteries is plenty for delivery work. Saving on gas is a big deal.

An annual target of just 200 units seems way too modest? That's basically pilot-program scale.

Even just 200 units, it still means something as a first step toward electrifying delivery bikes.

A News GearEV for newspaper delivery - commercial fleet use really is where electric makes the most sense.

It's funny that it's a Yamaha but runs on Honda's Mobile Power Pack battery. Guess it's spec standardization.
