Japanese auto giant Yamaha today said it might consider launching an electric bike in the fast growing Indian two-wheeler market to offer an alternative mode transportation.
The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, India Yamaha Motor, is also developing an India-specific scooter that will hit the roads in the "near future". Besides, it will launch two new bikes in the country in this year.
"For rising fuel prices, electric bike is a good option. Currently we are selling electric bikes in Japan and Europe. There is a possibility for the Indian market for introducing these products," India Yamaha Motor Director (Sales and Marketing) Jun Nakata told PTI.
