TheYamaha Mio is ascooter with aCVT transmission made byYamaha Motor. It was introduced for theSoutheast Asia market in 2003 as the successor of theNouvo. In Malaysia, this model is known asYamaha Ego. As 2007, there were some 76,000 Ego customers in Malaysia.[1] Together with its counterpart theYamaha Nouvo, the Mio/Ego is a platform forcustomization in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Based on sales performance and also technical studies of its predecessor Yamaha Nouvo by Yamaha'sR&D team, in 2003 Yamaha Motor successfully developed and marketed Yamaha Mio inSoutheast Asia countries and in March 2004,Hong Leong Yamaha (HLY) introduced this model inMalaysia, renaming it Yamaha Ego.[2]
2006 brought some new changes to the Mio. It was renamed and since then has been known as the Yamaha Mio Soul (except for the Malaysian market).
Physical change also can be seen in the 2006 model specifications. This includes an aggressivefacelift by the Yamaha team: it features newly design V-shape headlight for better vision range at night and newbody stripes. The engine, however, remained the same as in the 2003 model. For safety concerns, the taillight was re-designed with the addition of aretroreflector device.
For the Malaysian market, HLY again renamed the scooter as the Yamaha Ego S (S for Sport) and launched it in October 2007. The launch ceremony took place at theSheraton Subang Hotel inKuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3]
2012 changed from carburetor to fuel injected with big pulley CVT, with DiaSil cylinder and forged piston to reduce engine weight.
In 2014, all models switched to a new 125cc engine, using biggest size pulley in CVT and short range belt CVT, making more constant speed and easier acceleration in uphill. DiaSil cylinder engine with forged piston and lighter body structure reduce weight, this scooter has differentfuel efficiency, better fuel economy than the previous version.[clarification needed]
