From now on, riding a Yamaha Tricity 300 scooter may feel more magical and safer than ever. In the realm of scooters, which were once considered unsafe, the introduction of built-in airbags marks a significant safety improvement.
A joint effort between Yamaha, the trusted manufacturer in two-wheeled vehicles, and Autoliv, a renowned leader in automobile safety technology, has brought this magical system to life. The first model equipped with this innovative airbag system will be the Tricity 300 three-wheeled hybrid scooter.
This breakthrough integrates an airbag within the scooter's front apron without altering its appearance, deploying rapidly upon impact. When a collision occurs, sophisticated sensors activate in milliseconds, deploying the airbag to protect riders from potential injuries by preventing their body from hitting handlebars or rigid vehicles at high velocity.
Developed through extensive research and rigorous testing, this system ensures it operates seamlessly with other scooter features without impacting its usability. Yamaha’s commitment to safety has come a long way in making the everyday utility of scooters safer for riders, especially those who may not have access to advanced vehicle safety measures as car owners do.
While current mainstream vehicles often offer premium built-in airbag systems, motorcycle enthusiasts can now look forward to adding this feature with Yamaha's Tricity 300, set for release in the first half of 2026. The technology leverages Yamaha’s reputation for quality and safety, making regular scooters a preferred mode of transport due not just for ease of use but also for safeguarding riders.
