Yamaha EC-06 & Aerox-E Unveiled: Full Specs and What It Means for India

Yamaha has made a strong entry into India’s electric two-wheeler market with the unveiling of the root keyword model Yamaha EC-06 alongside the performance-focused Aerox-E. The EC-06 is pitched as a long-range urban commuter electric scooter, while the Aerox-E brings a sporty maxi-scooter experience to the electric segment. In this article we explore how the EC-06 stacks up on performance, features and positioning.

Engine & Performance

The Yamaha EC-06 uses a fixed 4 kWh battery pack powering an electric motor rated at 4.5 kW with peak output of 6.7 kW and a claimed certified range of 160 km. Charging via a standard home socket takes about nine hours for a full charge. By comparison, the Aerox-E leverages dual detachable batteries (3 kWh) and a peak 9.4 kW motor producing around 48 Nm of torque, with a certified range of 106 km. For the urban commuter focused on daily use, the EC-06 promises the more practical range, while the Aerox-E targets higher performance and enthusiast usage.

Chassis & Handling

On the EC-06, the under-seat storage capacity is 24.5 litres, which is smaller than some of the ICE-scooter rivals, yet adequate for everyday run-abouts. The scooter also features front and rear disc brakes, LED lighting and a telescopic front fork with twin rear shocks — typical of urban-commuter EV design. The Aerox-E, being a more aggressive maxi-scooter, places emphasis on sportier dynamics: wide tyres, performance-oriented ergonomics and a more muscular stance. These differences show how Yamaha is segmenting — EC-06 for practicality, Aerox-E for premium sport feel.

Technology & Features

On the EC-06, the feature‐set includes three riding modes (Eco, Standard, Power) plus a dedicated reverse mode for ease in tight parking spaces. It also offers a colour LCD instrument cluster and SIM-based telematics for connectivity. Meanwhile, the Aerox-E steps up with a full colour TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, smart-key system, turn-by-turn navigation and single-channel ABS plus traction control. Both models confirm Yamaha’s strategy to align with the modern electric scooter buyer who wants connectivity, smart features and practicality alongside range and performance.

Conclusion
In sum, the Yamaha EC-06 stands out as a compelling choice for riders seeking a long-range, feature-rich urban commuter EV, while the Aerox-E caters to those wanting sporty electric performance in the scooter segment. If your priority is daily commuting, low-stress convenience and extended range, the EC-06 is the one to watch. For those who want the thrill and premium flair, the Aerox-E raises the bar. Either way, Yamaha’s dual-launch signals that the electric-scooter segment in India is evolving rapidly — and Yamaha is stepping in with products that combine smart tech, design and mobility readiness.
