The "Big Four" Japanese motorcycle manufacturers, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, began jointly developing
A new replaceable battery will be tested inOsaka City University, the experiment was named "e-Yan OSAKA". Engineers will use electric motorcycles, and battery-powered replacement stations will be installed throughout the campus and in nearby stores.
The consortium did not share technicalcharacteristics of replaceable batteries, but reporters speculate that they will likely follow Honda's lead and use replaceable battery packs from Honda PCX and Benly electric scooters, MCN reported.

“As a result of repeated research, wecame to the conclusion that developing joint models with replaceable batteries would be beneficial for us and for the environment. We know there are still issues to be resolved in the electric motorcycle distribution and we will continue to work to improve the environment for our customers. ”
E-Yan OSAKA's trials must last one year,while the consortium is exploring the effectiveness of new battery designs and battery replacement stations. Ultimately they will decide how they can get the new motorcycle into production. Companies will start rolling out batteries in 2021.
