Yamaha EC-02 motorbike

Juniper Foo | Apr 13, 2005

Va-Vrooom! It's drool at first sight for this hip roadster on two wheels which seems almost made for the iPod crowd. And greenies will be pleased to know it's environmentally friendly, too. Running on electricity, 30 percent of the bike is apparently recyclable. Better still, this fun bike is tiny enough to pack away into the back of an MPV for those spur-of-moment East Coast Park spins. Wonder if Yamaha has headgear to match.
