One of the reasons is that these trains were primarily used for operating the former services "MAX Yamabiko" and "MAX Asahi" services. Since these services retired in 2002-2003 . It only operated the rapid "MAX Toki" and local "MAX Tanigawa" services, and numerous trains were already operating these like the E2, 200, and E4. These trains were much more successful, leading to the withdrawal of these trains. I myself also found this sad since this was one of my favorites out of the JR-East fleet.

It's a shame; I loved the E1 Series and never got to ride it.
why did JR scrapped all of these E1 trains? At least they weren't even 20 years old and seemed to be in good condition
Too slow, maybe.
The trains were too clunky and slow.
