Yamaha has finally pulled the wraps off its highly anticipated Aerox-E, marking a significant step in its electric mobility strategy. Based on the brand’s popular Aerox 155, this new electric iteration retains the sporty DNA of its petrol-powered sibling while packing advanced EV technology and modern connectivity features. With a 9.5kW motor, dual 1.5kWh removable batteries, and a certified 106km range, the Aerox-E is designed for performance enthusiasts who also want zero-emission practicality.
Futuristic Design
At first glance, the Aerox-E looks strikingly similar to the petrol-powered Aerox, maintaining Yamaha’s distinctive sporty and aggressive styling. The sharp dual LED headlamps, aerodynamic bodywork, and split footboard design remain unchanged, giving it a dynamic, race-inspired stance.
The electric variant differentiates itself subtly with EV-specific decals, a revised under-seat housing for the removable batteries, and a new TFT instrument console featuring EV-specific information. The scooter continues to be a maxi-sport scooter, appealing to urban riders who crave a balance of style, speed, and sophistication.
Dual Battery Setup
Powering the Aerox-E is a pair of 1.5kWh removable lithium-ion batteries that use high-energy-density cells, ensuring optimal performance and durability. Together, these batteries provide a total capacity of 3kWh, delivering a certified range of 106km per charge under standard test conditions.
The removable design allows riders to charge the batteries separately at home or office, enhancing convenience for urban commuters. Charging times are expected to be around 6–7 hours for a full charge via a standard socket. Yamaha is also likely to offer fast-charging options closer to launch.

Performance
The Aerox-E is powered by a 9.5kW electric motor, producing a strong 48Nm of torque — impressive figures for an e-scooter in its class. The motor promises swift acceleration and high efficiency across riding modes.
The scooter offers four riding modes:
- Eco – for maximum efficiency and range
- Standard – balanced performance for daily use
- Power – for spirited city riding
- Boost Mode – for extra torque during overtakes or quick bursts of speed
With this performance-oriented setup, Yamaha aims to give riders the same excitement and responsiveness associated with its petrol models while delivering silent, emission-free operation.
Ride & Handling
The suspension system remains identical to the ICE version, featuring telescopic forks at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear, tuned for stability and agility. The lightweight chassis ensures nimble handling in city traffic, while the broad tires and rigid frame contribute to confident cornering and high-speed composure.
For braking duties, Yamaha has equipped the Aerox-E with disc brakes at both ends, ensuring strong stopping power. The low center of gravity due to the battery placement enhances overall balance, making it a solid performer both in city rides and open-road cruising.
Features & Connectivity
The Aerox-E features a TFT digital instrument console with full smartphone connectivity. Through Yamaha’s mobile app, riders can monitor real-time vehicle data, track battery status, get range estimates, access navigation, and even locate the scooter remotely.
Additional features include:
- Regenerative braking system
- Reverse assist mode
- Keyless start
- LED lighting setup (headlamp, tail-lamp, and indicators)
- Under-seat storage capacity suited for helmets and essentials
Expected Launch & Pricing
The Yamaha Aerox-E has been unveiled globally and is expected to enter the Indian market by late 2025 or early 2026, following the EC-06 electric scooter. Given its performance and premium positioning, the Aerox-E is likely to be priced in the range of ₹1.6–₹1.8 lakh (ex-showroom).
When launched, it will take on established rivals like the Ather 450 Apex, Ola S1 Pro Gen 2, TVS iQube ST, and Simple One, offering a sporty alternative in the premium EV scooter space.
The Yamaha Aerox-E is not just another electric scooter; it’s the beginning of Yamaha’s electrified performance legacy. With 9.5kW of power, dual removable batteries, 106km range, and a sporty chassis shared with the Aerox 155, it blends performance, practicality, and technology like few others.
For riders who want an electric scooter that feels fast, stylish, and distinctly Yamaha, the Aerox-E could set a new standard in India’s evolving EV landscape.
