Picture this: fresh air, the sun on your face and a stress-free life as you sit in comfort and at ease after a busy day. Your chores are done and now for a little YOU time! This is the lifestyle you can have with a Yamaha Personal Transportation Vehicle (PTV).

While the Yamaha PTV category is newly introduced to Canada, they are no stranger to Canadian life. Your everyday sidekick makes your tasks more enjoyable by blending fun and work. Here are some reasons you should consider owning one.

PTVs don’t require any riding gear making them easy to hop in-and-out of. All you need is your key (and some gas in the tank) and off you go.

PTV’s have small displacement, fuel-efficient engines so you can spend less time visiting the local gas station and more time on things that matter, like your dream of being a beekeeper or reading about that new Yamaha Sport Boat you’ve been thinking about.

PTVs are quiet and we have the numbers to prove it! The Yamaha Drive2 comes equipped with a QuieTech EFI engine that produces a low noise level of 60.5 dB. To put that in comparison, a typical gas-powered lawn mower is between 85 and 90 dB! This low volume operation allows for easy conversation with passengers and won’t wake your partner when you take an early morning coffee ride.

And finally, PTVs are automatic and easy to operate so you can relax and enjoy the ride without having to worry about shifting gears. The parking brake is built into the brake pedal and automatically releases when the gas pedal is pressed. Getting in and driving away can’t get any easier.

Everyday life needs a little everyday fun. Make every day effortless with a Yamaha PTV.
