Yamaha Motor India today finally launched the new Yamaha Aerox E electric scooter in the Indian market, priced at Rs 2.81 lakh (ex-showroom). Interested customers can book the e-scooter online or by visiting their nearest dealership; deliveries are expected to begin soon. The Aerox E is the brand’s second electric scooter in India after the EC-06. Talking about the powertrain first, the Aerox electric is powered by a 9.5kW motor paired with two removable 1.5kWh battery packs. Together, they deliver 48Nm of torque, and Yamaha says the setup uses high-energy cells designed to maximise performance and efficiency. The electric scooter is claimed to cover up to 106km on a single charge and tips the scales at 139kg which is about 13kg more than the ICE Aerox 155. The Aerox-E comes equipped with multiple ride modes – Eco, Standard, and Power – along with a special Boost mode that offers a quick surge of performance for effortless overtakes. Braking hardware includes a front disc with ABS and a rear disc, ensuring confident stopping power.

The scooter uses telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers. It comes with 14-inch alloy wheels at both ends, while disc brakes on the front and rear, backed by single-channel ABS, provide braking. A TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity supports turn-by-turn navigation, weather information, and call and SMS alerts.In terms of design, the Aerox-E clearly carries forward the sporty DNA of its petrol sibling. The aggressive twin LED headlamps and sleek LED tail-lamp setup remain familiar, maintaining the sharp, dynamic look. What’s new, though, is the addition of a TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity, replacing the conventional LCD seen on the ICE version. Yamaha says it has also tweaked the ergonomics to make the electric version more engaging to ride. The electric version also has a few minor changes, including blue accents all around and the underseat storage has been reduced due to the placement of batteries and revised styling.
