TW 200 Electric

1992 Yamaha TW 200 Electric Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Yamaha's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 1992 Yamaha TW 200 Electric utilizes a 196 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16 HP (11.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.6 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the TW 200 Electric measures 126 kg (278 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.88 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 175 km (109 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
