The hydrogen bike with 100km range is impressive, but I'm concerned about hydrogen infrastructure in India. We're still struggling with EV charging stations. Hope Yamaha considers our market realities before launching here.

While the technology is fascinating, I hope Yamaha focuses on making these innovations affordable for developing markets like India. Most riders here can't afford premium bikes, no matter how advanced they are.

The electric wheelchair with big tires for bad roads is a thoughtful innovation! This could be life-changing for differently-abled people in rural India where road conditions are challenging. Appreciate Yamaha's inclusive approach.

As an expat living in Delhi, I'm excited about the EV lineup - pure EV, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid. India needs more electric options to combat pollution. Hope Yamaha brings these to Indian roads soon! 🌱
