News Team – November 22 2025
If you’re cruising around Indian cities and thinking about swapping your petrol scooter for something cleaner, the new Yamaha Aerox E might just be the perfect match. Priced between ₹2,50,000 and ₹2,60,000 (estimated), this electric maxi‑scooter blends the sporty look of the popular Aerox 155 with modern EV tech. Below is a friendly rundown of what makes the Aerox E stand out, so you can decide if it’s the right ride for you.
Key specifications
- Riding range: about 106 km on a full charge – enough for daily commutes and weekend trips.
- Kerb weight: 139 kg, light enough for city traffic but sturdy enough for a confident ride.
- Power: 9.5 kW (roughly 12.6 hp) with a juicy 48 Nm of torque, giving instant acceleration.
- Brakes: Dual disc brakes front and rear, plus a single‑channel ABS for added safety.
- Battery: Two removable 3 kWh packs (high‑density cells) that can be charged together using the dock system.
- Smart features: Keyless ignition, ride‑by‑wire motor control, traction control system (TCS), and three riding modes – Eco, Standard, and Power (plus a Boost function for a quick burst).
Why the Aerox E Makes Sense to buy
- City‑Friendly Range – With a 106 km range, you can zip from home to work and back without worrying about frequent recharges. The dock system lets you charge both batteries at once, so you’re never left waiting long.
- Instant Torque – The 48 Nm torque means you’re off the line quickly, which is a big plus for stop‑and‑go traffic in places like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore.
- Safety Boost – Dual disc brakes combined with ABS and TCS give you confidence on wet or uneven surfaces, a common scenario during monsoon.
- Smart Convenience – The smart key lets you start the scooter with a tap, while the ride‑by‑wire system fine‑tunes power delivery for smoother acceleration.
- Eco‑Friendly Design – Zero emissions mean you’re contributing to cleaner air, and the low running cost (roughly ₹0.15 per km) helps your wallet as well.
The Aerox E keeps the sleek, so you won’t feel like you’re riding a “boring” electric scooter. The seat is comfortable for short to medium rides, and the under‑seat storage.
The 5‑inch TFT display shows speed, range, battery status, and even navigation via Yamaha’s Y‑Connect app. Switching between Eco, Standard, and Power modes is as simple as a button press – Eco stretches your range, Standard offers a balanced ride, and Power (with Boost) unleashes the full potential for overtaking or a fun weekend spin.
At roughly ₹2.5 lakh, the Yamaha Aerox E sits in the mid‑range of electric scooters available in India. It blends the sporty aesthetics you love with practical EV benefits – decent range, instant torque, and smart safety features. If you’re looking for a stylish, city‑ready scooter that won’t compromise on performance, the Aerox E is worth a test ride.
