Yamaha-engineered power systemssupplied and supported by SDL.
For over 25 years, SD Motion has been helping people move further, more confidently, and more independently.
What many people don’t realise is that our journey with Yamaha began all the way back in 1999, when we first visited Japan to explore the future of powered mobility. Since then, we’ve proudly manufactured SD Motion systems here in the UK, building a long-standing partnership rooted in engineering excellence and shared values.
Now, in 2026, we’re excited to mark the next chapter.
From 2026 onwards, our SD Motion Drive systems will carry official Yamaha branding — recognising the strength and reliability of the power technology at the heart of every system.
We're talking:
- Proven Japanese motor technology
- Precision engineering
- Reliable performance you can trust
- UK-based manufacturing and support
- Expert guidance before and after purchase
Yamaha is globally recognised for producing high-performance electric drive systems across multiple industries. Their expertise in power delivery, battery systems, and motor control gives SD Motion users smooth acceleration, dependable range, and consistent performance day after day.
When you choose SD Motion – powered by Yamaha, you’re choosing:
- Decades of mobility expertise
- Robust, tested components
- Long-term parts availability
- A support team that understands your needs
Built in the UK. Backed by Yamaha.
While the engineering power comes from Yamaha, every SD Motion system is manufactured, assembled, and supported here in the UK by SDL.
We don’t just supply equipment — we provide advice, setup, demonstrations, servicing, and long-term support. That’s something we’ve always believed in, and it won’t change.
Yamaha-engineered power systems supplied and supported by SDL means you get the best of both worlds: world-class engineering with local, personal service.
The introduction of Yamaha branding to the SD Motion Drive range reflects the strength of our partnership and the confidence behind every system we build.
It’s the same trusted SD Motion performance — now proudly carrying the Yamaha name.
