The electric scooter craze in India has reached the performance phase. For a long time EVs were only a “reasonable” family friendly slab of plastic for quiet grocery shopping. Yamaha is set to completely change that mentality with the new Yamaha Aerox E.
Yamaha aimed a high performance electric powertrain straight at the aggressive, track focused style of the petrol-powered Aerox 155 to appeal to those who seek clean energy without compromising on the aggressive street presence. So it’s time to demystify what this electric maxi-scooter has to offer the hot asphalt.
Unique Styling Language
If you don’t look closely at the Aerox E you could entirely overlook the fact that it is electric-powered. Yamaha deliberately kept the same aggressive look of the standard petrol Aerox – a big plus on the styling front.
The front end is designed in a mechanical hawk style with low-hung, dual-LED headlights to lend the car a predatory attitude on the road. Eliminates the standard, flat, step-through scooter floorboard and replaces it with a hard X-shaped spine frame like that of a motorcycle.
Mileage (Range), Top Speed & Battery Capacity
This is an electric, so we refer to “mileage” as the distance it can travel on a single charge. This scooter is based on a high-voltage architecture, aimed at providing fast, powerful performance, not hyper-miling.
Battery Capacity: : The scooter uses a 3 kWh Lithium-ion battery pack (two 1.5 kWh removable packs). The modular design allows you to remove the batteries and take them with you inside to charge if you reside in a high-rise apartment.
Top Speed: On the road, the Aerox E can reach a true top speed of 95.5km/h. It has three different riding modes: Eco, Standard, and Power. Also included is a button on the left handlebar called Boost Mode which provides a momentary burst of all the current for an instant of 10 seconds for overtaking the highway.
Range (EV Mileage): Official EV range (on full charge) is 106 kilometers (up to 117 km in optimum test conditions). On an aggressive urban commute, this amounts to quite a bit of juice for a couple of days worth of an urban bike.

FAQs
Q1: What is the battery charge time for the batteries?
A: It takes about 3:10 to charge one battery pack from empty to full using a standard home charger, or 6:20 to charge both packs from empty to full.
Q2: Will there be a way to ride the scooter if one battery pack is at home charging?
A: Yes, the system will operate from a single battery pack but the total riding range and maximum power output will be halved until the second battery pack is reinstalled.
Q3: Does Aerox E have under seat storage capacity?
A: yes, but if you have a large full-face helmet, it will be best to keep it in the battery compartment which is removable, as it would take up a lot of space in addition to the remaining space.
Q4: What is the need of Traction Control System (TCS) on Electric Scooters?
A: Absolutely. The TCS is essential as all 48 Nm of the torque are released immediately if you turn the throttle when the rear tire is on a wet road or a gravel area.
Q5: How does The “Boost Mode” function works while riding ?
A: The dedicated handlebar switch is pressed when you need a quick increase in speed to pass a car on the highway. The scooter then takes you a second, powerful burst of speed for 10 seconds.
