Yamaha will stop wholesaling e-bikes in the U.S. market at the end of the year, the company told BRAIN on Friday.

The company’s U.S. manager emphasized that Yamaha will continue to support retailers and end users with warranty service and parts “for years to come.” And while U.S. management declined to comment on Yamaha’s global plans, the company is expected to continue selling e-bikes in other markets and to continue selling its OE e-bike motors, which are spec’d by Giant and other brands. Yamaha’s OE motor business is run separately from its U.S. e-bike business.
