Yesterday, on 30th September 2014 at Intermot, has Yamaha Motor
unveiled the 01GEN*, a new multi-wheel “on & off crossover” concept
vehicle.
The “on & off” refers to this multi-wheel vehicle’s unique manoeuvrability and inherent ability to cross a variety of terrain, both on and off the road. At the same time it also refers to the “on & off” nature of the rhythm generated by mood shifts when switching between the enjoyment of demanding riding, and liberated, relaxed riding.
The 01GEN is a proposal for a personal vehicle that enables enjoyment of two modes in one chassis. The narrative behind this concept involves surface information being transmitted to the rider from the two front wheels, with the rider conveying their intentions to the machine, and power being transmitted to the rear wheel as drive force.

To make the most of the presence and volume of the two front wheels,
the 01GEN’s body has a sexy profile, and gives a unique and attractive
image that could not be achieved by any existing two-wheel vehicle.
By interweaving the flowing body with the mechanical framework, the 01GEN concept model expresses a new and attractive direction in multi-wheel vehicle design.
*The name is inspired by the two words 'genesis' and 'generate', that together express both the 01GEN's original Yamaha design and the new values that it represents - now and forever.
