Yamaha unveils the all-new Aerox-E, a premium electric scooter featuring the brand’s sporty DNA and modern electric mobility. Inspired by the Aerox 155 model, the Aerox-E looks similarly aggressive and adds an extreme electric drive, dual removable batteries, and a whole host of smart features. Designed for riders who want performance without compromising practicality, the scooter promises an exciting riding experience for urban commuters as well as enthusiasts looking for something different in the electric scooter segment.
One of the standout highlights of the Yamaha Aerox-E is its electric drivetrain, which is equipped with a PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) that delivers 9.4 kW of power along with 48 Nm of torque. The scooter’s much faster, with a range of 95.5 km/h top speed, making it one of the fastest in its class of premium electric scooters. Depending on the riding conditions, Aerox-E features ECO, Standard, and Power riding modes to tailor the performance of the scooter.
The Aerox-E is powered by a dual removable battery system, delivering 1.5 kWh of power with each battery. The scooter offers a range as certified by IDC of 117 km, which is suitable for regular commuting and weekly riding. Using the dedicated battery dock charger, a single battery can be charged in 3 hours and 10 minutes, while both batteries can be fully charged in 6 hours and 10 minutes. Batteries are easily taken out and replaced to conveniently recharge at home or at work, without having to park at the charging station.
Yamaha’s hallmark sporty design elements are continued with the bold road presence of the Yamaha Aerox-E’s X-shaped design elements. Sleek LED headlamps and premium aesthetics of the aerodynamic body panels and muscular shape add to the design’s sense of sleekness. The design features sleek LED headlights and aerodynamic body panels, which accentuate its premium styling. Yamaha also has a scooter very available in a cocktail bluish-white color option that includes an entirely brand-new and contemporary look. The overall design is very similar to the petrol-powered Aerox, with EV styling details.
Equipped with a 5-inch full-color TFT instrument display, the scooter provides a clear and contemporary dial layout for vehicle control. It features Bluetooth wireless technology with Yamaha’s Y-Connect application, which integrates with smartphones to provide riding data. City commuting is also made easier, as riders also receive turn-by-turn navigation. The Aerox-E includes a Smart Key with the Answer Back feature to assist users to find their scooter in crowded parking lots with flashing indicators and a buzzer.
It comes equipped with 14-inch alloy wheels shod with wide tubeless tires (110/80-14 up front and 140/70-14 at the rear). Together, this combo provides a strong grip, even more stability, and confident handling under all road conditions. Even the braking performance is commendable, with disc brakes in both the front and the rear enhancing the braking power and boosting the rider’s confidence at high speed.
Safety has been given the same consideration on the Aerox-E. The scooter also features a Traction Control System (TCS) to provide better grip on slippery roads, disc brakes (front & rear), single-channel ABS, LED lights, and reverse functionality for smooth maneuvers in tight parking lanes. This will enable greater confidence and convenience during normal riding.
The Yamaha Aerox-E is 1,980 mm long, 700 mm wide, 1,150 mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 1,360 mm; its kerb weight is 139 kg. It has a sporty tire with a 110/80-14 in the front and a 140/70-14 in the rear to strengthen its sporty handling idea and, at the same time, provide the grip and stability adequate to match high performance.
Yamaha is now officially offering the Aerox-E in India at a price of ₹2.81 lakh (ex-showroom), making it the Yamaha flagship electric scooter in India. The Yamaha Aerox-E is priced at ₹2.81 lakh with some stylish features. Along with APTEX and Yamaha’s performance-centered riding experience, it is a match for high-budget electric scooters such as the TVS X, Ather 450 Apex, Simple One, Suzuki e-Access, and Ola S1 Pro+.
Aerox-E’s 95.5 km/h top speed and 117 km IDC range; 9.4 kW top power; dual removable batteries; TFT display; Bluetooth connectivity; turn-by-turn navigation; Yamaha Traction Control System; and high-quality Yamaha styling make it one of the most impressive full-featured electric scooters in the premium category. With competitive pricing, if it’s introduced in India, it could turn into a formidable competitor to other performance-focused e-scooters, bringing Yamaha’s renowned engineering and a thrilling ride to the birds.
