The Yamaha TY-E actually happens to be a rare example of an electric motorbike that comes fitted with a clutch, with the specific purpose of giving riders an extra degree of lift-off when they want to leap onto a rock or perform a stunt. Weighing in at 70 kilograms, the TY-E is also lightweight and easy to maneuver. With [stunt biking becoming increasingly popular](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuickwheel-skyrider-x6), it makes sense for avid stunt riders to go out and get a motorbike for that specific purpose, and it is this segment of the motorcycle market that Yamaha is trying to target with the TY-E. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stunt Riding Electric Motorbikes:** Electric motorbikes designed specifically for stunt riding are a new trend that manufacturers can tap into. - **Electric Motorbikes for Open Terrain:** Electric motorbikes designed for off-road and open terrain activities are a growing trend in the motorcycle industry. - **Lightweight Electric Motorbikes:** Lightweight electric motorbikes are becoming more popular among riders who want easy maneuverability while performing stunts or navigating off-road terrain. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can innovate by designing electric motorbikes specifically for stunt riders or off-road terrain enthusiasts. - **Extreme Sports Equipment:** Companies specializing in extreme sports equipment can produce lightweight and durable electric motorbikes that riders can use for off-road adventures or extreme stunts. - **Tourism and Adventure:** Tourism and adventure companies can capitalize on the growing trend of electric motorbikes designed for off-road adventures and offer exciting and unique experiences for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Motocross Bikes Unveiled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-ye-01.md) - [Minature Japanese E-Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-fv.md) - [Futuristic E-Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-b01.md) - [Bump-Absorbing Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offroad-motorbikes.md) - [Self-Balancing E-Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid-2.md) - [Performance-Pushing E-Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ampx.md) - [Electric Powersports Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vtf-dirt-bike-series.md) - [Performance-Ready Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-ebikes.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md)
