The Looks:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Looks wise, if you park the Aerox E next to its petrol drinking sibling, most people won\u2019t even notice the difference at first. Thankfully, it retains that sharp, aggressive maxi-scooter design, which has presence and looks fast even when it\u2019s not moving at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spend a little more time around it, and you start noticing the details. The wide front apron, the twin LED headlamps, and that muscular stance \u2013 giving you those mini superbike looks from certain angles. Even the proportions, with its long wheelbase and larger body, give it a very planted look on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, it actually looks quite premium, naturally standing out in a parking lot full of commuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But here\u2019s the thing \u2013 unlike most of the other electric scooters out there in the market, there\u2019s very little visual drama to tell you this is an electric scooter. Good or bad, you decide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Powertrain:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the heart of the Aerox E is a mid-mounted electric motor that produces around 9.4 kW of peak power and 48 Nm of peak torque, which on paper puts it right at the sharper end of the electric scooter space. This motor is gets power from a dual battery setup \u2014 two removable 1.5 kWh units, giving you a total capacity of 3 kWh. Yamaha claims that this set up will give you a maximum range of around 106 km on a full charge, though like most EVs, that will depend a lot on how you ride it. It comes with a 650 W charger and can be charged via a standard home socket. A full charge from zero will take around 6 hours 20 minutes. No fast charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The twin battery set up is a nice touch in terms of flexibility. But the range isn\u2019t something that stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ride it gently and it\u2019ll do the job. Start riding it the way an Aerox begs to be ridden, and the battery drops quicker than you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And because of the battery setup, you lose some under-seat storage, which was already not great to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Aerox E has 3 main ride modes – Eco, Standard, and Power along with a Boost mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the real world, each mode has a clear personality. Eco is tuned more for efficiency and feels a bit relaxed, suitable for your big-city-traffic-laden bumper-to-bumper commutes. It works best when you\u2019re just cruising without any hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standard mode is where the scooter feels most natural. The response is smooth, predictable, and well-suited for most of your everyday riding needs – whether you\u2019re filtering through traffic or just rolling along, this is the mode you\u2019ll end up using the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Power mode adds a bit more urgency, especially in the mid-range. It\u2019s not dramatically quicker than Standard, but you can feel that extra push when you twist the throttle a bit harder. To be honest, I expected from here. The kind of urgency that was expected was not delivered and that is not good, especially when this scooter wants to be known as a sports scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And then there\u2019s Boost mode. For 10 odd seconds, the Aerox E shows its playful side and feels genuinely quick. Quite handy if you want to quickly overtake that long truck on the highway. But that spark is short lived. And you have to wait another half a minute before you can engage the boost once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the experience is enjoyable, especially when you start using the different modes as intended. It just feels like there\u2019s still a bit of room for refinement to make it all come together seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Handling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If there\u2019s one area where the Aerox E stays true to its roots, it\u2019s handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It feels stable, planted, and surprisingly agile for its size. You can push it into corners and it responds nicely. Direction changes feel quick and predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The suspension though feels stiff on the rear, and not so confidence inspiring on the front either especially when you are riding on rough patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ergonomics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For an average height person like me, I am 5 feet 5 inches, the riding position should feel okay; however, that didn\u2019t feel the case with the taller auto journos riding this scooter at the media ride. And I also found myself quite often sliding forward as the seat is slightly sloped downward and that was not very comfortable position to be in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Features & Brakes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On the features front, solid job Yamaha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The TFT screen looks good, you get connectivity, traction control, ride modes, reverse mode \u2014 everything you\u2019d expect from a modern electric scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Braking performance is strong and confidence-inspiring. No issues there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Coming to conclusion, the Yamaha Aerox E does come across as a pretty unique overall product for someone who is looking to buy something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What works in its favour is its styling and the overall ride quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What doesn\u2019t work is the performance; it does leave a lot to be desired for people who are looking for a sporty ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As of now, Yamaha has not revealed the pricing for this Aerox E but that will be one of the biggest deciding factor. And whatever be the pricing of the Yamaha Aerox E, we recommend that you take the test ride of the Aerox E and the Yamaha EC-06, the other E-scooter from Yamaha, and then decide for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right now, it\u2019s a glimpse of a promising fun electric scooter\u2026probably just not there quite yet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Yamaha Aerox has always been a bit of an oddball, an outlier in our scooter market that is dominated by commuter scooters most of which look pretty similar to each other. But the Aerox has held its ground, never trying to be too practical or sensible. Just fun; pure, unadulterated fun.
