In short

The Aerox E is Yamaha's electric take on its Aerox maxi-scooter, with a 9.4kW motor and 3kWh battery giving a claimed 117km range, starting at ₹2.82 lakh. It's for buyers who want a fully-loaded electric scooter with a TFT display and navigation, at a price that undercuts few electric or petrol rivals on value.

What doesn't

  • ₹2.82 lakh is expensive against the 140km-range TVS X

  • Only one colour option available

Best for: Feature-rich urban commuting, Tech-focused riders, Short-to-medium daily rides

Price and variants

Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.

The Aerox E comes in a single variant at ₹2,81,609 ex-showroom Delhi, so there is no trim ladder to climb: every Aerox E leaves the showroom with the same equipment.

That makes it the most expensive of the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Flying Flea C6 (₹2,609 less) and the X (₹16,772 less).

On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹2.94 Lakh for the base variant once registration and five-year insurance are added (Delhi waives road tax on electric two-wheelers). Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

Range and charging

The Aerox E is rated at 117 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.

Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed it ranks 14th for range, 30 km below the group average of 147 km.

Motor and ride

The Aerox E's 9.4 kW motor is the 6rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 95.5 km/h, comfortable for city and arterial roads.

A full charge from a home socket takes about 6.2 hours. The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors if you cannot park near a plug.

Chassis hardware includes single-channel ABS, with a disc up front and disc at the rear.

Our review

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.

Verdict

The Aerox E is Yamaha's premium electric maxi-scooter, pairing a 9.4kW motor with a removable 3kWh battery for a claimed 117km range, starting at ₹2.82 lakh. It's the most feature-loaded electric scooter Yamaha sells in India, though the price sits well above rivals with similar or better range.

Riding it every day

The 48Nm of torque makes for brisk acceleration away from traffic lights, and the colour TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation is genuinely useful for city riding without needing to glance at your phone. Cruise control, unusual on electric scooters at any price, helps on longer stretches of open road. The removable battery is a real advantage for apartment dwellers without dedicated home charging, letting you carry it indoors to charge.

What to know before buying

At ₹2.82 lakh, the Aerox E costs meaningfully more than rivals like the TVS X with comparable range, so the value proposition rests on its feature list and Yamaha badge rather than raw numbers. Only one colour, white, is currently offered. Over-the-air updates mean some features may improve after purchase, though this depends on Yamaha's ongoing software support in India.

Who should buy it

Buyers who want the most connected, feature-rich electric scooter available and who value the removable battery for flexible charging will find the Aerox E worth the premium. Those focused purely on range per rupee should cross-shop rivals with larger batteries before deciding.

Features and colours

  • Single-channel ABS
  • Front disc brake
  • Rear disc brake
  • Tubeless tyres
  • Alloy wheels
  • Side-stand engine cut-off
  • Hazard lamps
  • LED headlamp
  • LED daytime running lamp
  • LED tail lamp
  • +12 more

On safety kit the Aerox E has single-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.

Against X, 450 Apex or E Access, it gets single-channel abs and removable battery that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: rear monoshock, keyless start, fast charging and regenerative braking, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

It is offered in 1 colours: White. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 3 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 3 years or 30,000 km; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.

Yamaha runs a sizeable sales and service network in India, at roughly 2,500 touchpoints. Spares and a mechanic who knows the model are rarely far away.

The Aerox E launched in 2026, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
