Yamaha introduces keyless ignition on a scooter.

Brand new for ’07, at least in Hong Kong, is the fresh iCard. She’s a 124cc, 2t, twist-n-go with a little surprise… No place to insert your key (see below… looks a bit like a washing machine knob).


No, to start your scooter, open the gas tank or pop the seat storage you’ll need to carry an iCard (seen below and it looks a lot like a credit card). All you do is wave the card around the head set and select your function from the washing machine knob. I guess it uses a secure RFID, so you could just keep it in your wallet and wave your wallet around the headset to get her started (like so many women in my past).


iBike.com.hk has it covered if you’d like to see a bit more, or you can go to Yamaha.hk and try to make sense of that.
