Yamaha has launched the Aerox-E, its first electric scooter for India, at an introductory price of ₹2.82 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). That figure makes the performance-focused maxi-scooter the most expensive product Yamaha currently sells in the country, and it goes on sale first in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Chennai.
Range, battery and charging
The Aerox-E runs on two removable 1.5 kWh lithium-ion packs for a combined 3.0 kWh capacity, and Yamaha quotes an IDC-certified range of 117 km on a full charge. Charging one pack takes about 3 hours 10 minutes, while topping up both together takes roughly 6 hours 20 minutes. Because the batteries lift out, riders in apartments without a dedicated charging point can carry them indoors.
Performance and riding modes
A mid-mounted electric motor sends 12.6 bhp (9.4 kW) and a strong 48 Nm to the rear wheel. Yamaha claims a top speed of 95.5 km/h in Power + Boost mode, well above what most electric scooters in India manage. Three riding modes — Economy, Standard and Power — let owners trade outright pace for range depending on the ride.
Features on board
The Aerox-E gets a full-colour TFT console with turn-by-turn navigation, plus call and SMS alerts, and it pairs with the Yamaha Y-Connect app to log ride data. All-LED lighting, keyless ignition and a reverse mode round off the kit — features that justify its premium positioning.
