Yamaha's 50th Anniversary Nmax: Turbo in Name, Electrifying in Nature

-

So, Yamaha has decided to celebrate their 50th anniversary by unveiling a new version of their Nmax scooter in Indonesia. They’ve called it the Turbo, but hold your horses—this thing isn’t actually turbocharged. The name might suggest otherwise, but Yamaha's playing a bit of a trick on us here.



What we have is the Nmax Turbo, and while it lacks a turbocharger, it does pack a punch with some snazzy upgrades. The real kicker? Yamaha has outfitted this special edition with an electric CVT gearbox. Yes, you heard that right—an electric CVT. This isn’t just any old gearbox; it’s been tweaked to improve acceleration, boasting two distinct modes: “Sport Touring” and—you guessed it—“Turbo.”


Now, when you flick it into Turbo mode, the CVT provides an extra burst of power to make overtaking a breeze. It’s the first time Yamaha has slapped this tech on a scooter, so it’s a bit of a big deal.


Aside from this electric wizardry, the rest of the scooter remains unchanged. It still sports a 155cc single-cylinder engine, pumping out a modest 15 horsepower and 14 Nm of torque. There’s also a TFT screen with Bluetooth integration and LED lights all around, because why not?


The Nmax Turbo will hit the streets of Indonesia soon, but as for us in Europe, we’re left waiting with bated breath. Yamaha hasn’t spilled the beans on if or when this little beast will make its way to our shores.

Since the dawn of time, mankind has been searching...searching for something more. Ever since the first homo-sapiens pushed a mammoth over a cliff; feasted on its widely dispersed remains and decided that it was a pretty good meal; we've been on the road to culinary improvement. Much later a German, let's call him Helmut, fried up a bit of mince, slapped it between two buns and changed the course of history. Helmut didn't realise it at the time, but he had just invented the burger. But mankind wasn't satisfied with the burger. No, man is never satisfied.  Since that day we have continued to improve, refine, enhance and augment. We have continued to experiment and explore, to add pickles and fried onions, to push the burger boundaries. As most of my readers know I am fascinated about food but some days I feel like having some less sophisticated stuff and when it comes to burgers(especially if you do have a large appetite) The King Of Homemade hea...
