Ah, Yamaha, the master of modesty, has once again decided to ‘innovate’ with a ‘world-first’ hybrid bike technology that’s about as revolutionary as a hamster wheel. With two electric motors, one engine, and a battery, I’m half expecting the bike to start offering aromatherapy sessions and a cup of tea at the end of a ride. The Triple Boost system? More like Triple Bother, right? Zero tail-pipe emissions? Only when the bike is electric, and the engine is on a permanent vacation. They’ve clearly learned nothing from the automotive world’s ‘hybrid’ hype. And the maxi-scooter? I can almost hear the engine purring, ‘Oh, please, I’m a 125cc, single-cylinder engine, and I’ve seen better days.’ Let’s see how this ‘new world of sustainable two-wheelers’ fares in the real world, where ‘innovation’ is often just a euphemism for ‘copying with a bit of flair’.
