The Yamaha Aerox-E: Engine, Battery and Performance
The Aerox-E has a 9.4 kW peak electric motor that produces 48Nm of torque. This torque is much higher than the petrol-powered Aerox 155 (13.9 Nm), which gives it great acceleration. The top speed is 95.5 km / h.
It is powered by two removable 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery packs that deliver an IDC-certified range of up to 117km. The removable battery makes it easy to charge. Especially, those who live in large multi-storey buildings can take out the battery and charge it indoors. The company claims that the single battery charges in about 3 hours 10 minutes, while both batteries take 6 hours 20 minutes to charge.
Riders can also drive the scooter with a battery pack, although the company says that the overall performance is reduced in this mode
Technology and features
The Yamaha Aerox-E comes with a host of premium features that make it stand out in its segment:
There are three riding modes - ECO, Power, and Standard.
Boost Mode - For faster acceleration (available for 10 seconds)
Reverse Assist - Ease of parking (up to 1.8 km / h)
5-inch TFT colour display All the necessary information at a glance

Storage and storage
There is 15 litres of under-seat storage space. This is less than the petrol Aerox 155 (24.5 -litre), as it has a removable battery fixed under the seat. However, two open glove boxes have also been given in the front of the scooter, in which mobile phones or small things can be kept
What did Yamaha focus on?
The company has focused on five main things in this e-scooter:
Sporty riding dynamics - which makes it agile even in the city crowd
Premium build quality - Strong build like the petrol model
Brand Appeal - Yamaha's Performance DNA has been retained
Advanced Electronics - TFT Display, TCS, ABS and Smart Key
Maxi-scooter styling Agressive and sporty look
Price and competition
The Yamaha Aerox-E is priced at Rs 2.81 lakh, ex-showroom (Delhi). In terms of pricing, it is more expensive than electric scooters from brands like Ola Electric, TVS, Bajaj and Ather in the Indian market. This is much higher than Yamaha's petrol Aerox 155, which is priced at ₹1.53 lakh ex-showroom. However, the company is offering it for a premium niche market where people are willing to pay extra for performance and brand value.
The Yamaha Aerox-E: Who's it for?
This scooter is for those who:
Want a premium, sporty electric scooter
Focus on style and performance
Want styling and riding posture like the petrol Aerox 155
I want a removable battery
Budget is not an issue.
Conclusion
The Yamaha Aerox-E is a powerful entry into the Indian electric two-wheeler market, offering a unique blend of sporty performance, premium features and great styling. Features like 9.4 kW motor, 48Nm torque, 117km range, 95.5 km / h top speed and removable battery make it a great option. However, the price of ₹2.81 lakh puts it out of reach for the general public and it only targets customers who want a premium electric maxi-scooter. If you prefer style, performance, and brand value, and budget isn't your limit, the Aerox-E could be a great choice for you.
