Pricing and Launch Details
The Yamaha XSR155, a neo-retro styled roadster, is priced at an introductory Rs 1.50 lakh, while the Yamaha FZ-Rave, aimed at sporty commuters, is available for Rs 1.17 lakh (ex-showroom).
Meanwhile, the Aerox Electric and EC-06 electric scooters made their official debut and are expected to launch in India in the first quarter of 2026.
While the Aerox Electric is positioned as a sporty urban electric scooter, the EC-06 aims to serve as a practical and family-friendly daily commuter. Let’s take a closer look at what these two upcoming Yamaha electric models bring to the table.
⚡ Yamaha Aerox Electric – The Sporty Performer
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Battery Type | Dual 1.5kWh removable batteries |
| Motor | Single electric motor |
| Power Output | 9.5kW |
| Torque | 48Nm |
| Certified Range | 106km |
| Riding Modes | Eco, Standard, Power, Boost |
The Yamaha Aerox Electric (Aerox-E) retains much of the bold design language of the Aerox 155 ICE model, including the twin LED headlights and LED taillight setup, but introduces a few subtle yet meaningful updates to optimize performance and comfort.
Due to certain ergonomic changes, the boot space has slightly reduced compared to the petrol version, but Yamaha has made up for it by introducing a TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity via Yamaha’s app — a step up from the older model.
Under the body, the Aerox-E is powered by dual 1.5kWh removable battery packs that utilize high-energy type cells for enhanced efficiency and reliability. Paired with a 9.5kW electric motor, the scooter delivers an impressive 48Nm of torque and a certified range of 106 km on a full charge.
The Aerox Electric also features four riding modes – Eco, Standard, Power, and Boost, catering to different riding preferences.
For safety, the scooter comes equipped with front and rear disc brakes assisted by ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ensuring optimal stopping power and control.
⚙️ Yamaha EC-06 – The Practical Electric Commuter
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Battery Capacity | 4kWh single battery |
| Motor Output | 6.7kW |
| Range (IDC) | 160km |
| Top Speed | 90kmph |
| Charging Time | Approx. 9 hours (standard socket) |
| Riding Modes | 3 modes + Reverse assist |
The Yamaha EC-06 is built for practicality and everyday usability. Based on the River Indie platform, it features a 4kWh lithium-ion battery paired with a 6.7kW electric motor, offering a claimed range of 160km under the Indian Driving Cycle (IDC) standard.
Charging the EC-06 is convenient — a standard household socket can fully charge the scooter in about nine hours. With a top speed of 90km/h, it strikes an excellent balance between performance and efficiency, making it ideal for city commutes.
The EC-06 sports a boxier design compared to the River Indie and offers features like:
- Colour LCD display
- USB charging port
- Telescopic front fork
- Twin rear shocks
- 14-inch alloy wheels on both ends
While the River Indie offers 43 litres of underseat storage, the EC-06 provides a still-decent 24.5 litres, making it functional enough for daily use.
Additionally, Yamaha offers three riding modes and a reverse assist function—enhancing rider convenience and accessibility.
XSR155 & FZ-Rave: The Petrol Pair
Alongside the two EVs, Yamaha also rolled out two ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) motorcycles — the XSR155 and FZ-Rave.
The XSR155 follows Yamaha’s “neo-retro” roadster theme, blending classic aesthetics with modern mechanics, while the FZ-Rave targets younger, performance-driven riders with a muscular stance, sporty graphics, and agile handling.
These models further solidify Yamaha’s presence in the 150cc–160cc segment, appealing to both nostalgic enthusiasts and modern-day commuters.
🚀 Yamaha’s Vision for the Future
With the launch of these four models, Yamaha aims to bridge its rich performance legacy with the growing need for sustainable mobility. The company’s clear focus on electric innovation, combined with the reliability of its petrol-powered lineup, ensures Yamaha’s continued dominance in the evolving two-wheeler landscape.
The Aerox Electric and EC-06 are expected to play a crucial role in Yamaha’s EV roadmap for India, giving tough competition to existing players like Ather, Ola Electric, and TVS iQube.
