Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
The EC 06 comes in a single variant at ₹1,72,013 ex-showroom Delhi, so there is no trim ladder to climb: every EC 06 leaves the showroom with the same equipment.
That makes it priced 17th lowest among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the E Access (₹18,748 more) and the 450 Apex (₹24,177 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.79 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.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Standard | ₹1,72,013 |
Range and charging
The EC 06 is rated at 169 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 5th for range, 22 km above the group average of 147 km.
Motor and ride
The EC 06's 6.7 kW motor is the 10rd most powerful among the 21 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 79 km/h, which limits it to city use.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 10 hours. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.
Chassis hardware includes a combi-brake system, with a disc, 200 mm up front and disc, 200 mm at the rear.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The EC 06 is Yamaha's electric scooter with a focus on range, claiming 169km from a 4kWh battery paired with a 6.7kW motor, starting at ₹1.72 lakh. It prioritises daily-commute practicality over outright speed, with a modest 79kmph top speed that keeps it firmly city-focused.
Riding it every day
In typical urban riding with frequent stops, the 26Nm of instant torque makes pulling away from signals brisk despite the low top speed figure, useful in the stop-start traffic common across Indian cities. The combi-brake system with disc brakes at both ends offers decent stopping power, though the absence of true ABS is a gap compared to some electric rivals. A 10-hour full charge time means overnight charging at home works best; topping up during a busy workday is less convenient.
What to know before buying
Yamaha's electric vehicle service network is newer than its petrol dealer network, so it's worth checking service centre availability in your city before buying. The 3-year, 30,000km battery warranty offers reasonable peace of mind against early degradation. Ride modes and cruise control add convenience for daily commuting, and the companion app allows basic monitoring of charge and location.
Who should buy it
Commuters with predictable daily distances well within the claimed range, and reliable home charging access, will get the most out of the EC 06. Riders who need higher top speeds for occasional highway stretches or fast public charging should look at rivals like the Ather 450X.

On safety kit the EC 06 has combi-brake (cbs), front disc brake, rear disc brake and tubeless tyres. There is no ABS, which is legal at this engine size but worth knowing before a wet-weather ride.
What it lacks: side-stand engine cut-off, hazard lamps, colour tft console and turn-by-turn navigation, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 1 colours: Bluish 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 EC 06 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.
EC 06: questions people ask
- What is the price of the Yamaha EC 06?
- The EC 06 is priced at ₹1,72,013 ex-showroom Delhi in its single variant, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance.
- What is the on-road price of the EC 06 in Delhi?
- Roughly ₹1.79 Lakh for the base variant in Delhi: ₹1,72,013 ex-showroom plus no road tax (electric two-wheelers are exempt in Delhi), ₹1,100 registration and about ₹6,373 insurance. This is an estimate; dealer quotes include handling and accessories.
- What is the real range of the EC 06?
- The certified range is 169 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.
- How much does the EC 06 cost to run per month?
- Charging works out to about ₹0.20 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹152 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the EC 06?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹5,450 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- How long does the EC 06 take to charge?
- About 10 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
- EC 06 or E Access: which is better?
- The E Access is ₹18,748 more expensive to start and less efficient at 95 km against 169 km. Pick the EC 06 for long daily commutes, the E Access for short daily commutes. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the EC 06?
- Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed, the S1 Pro (Gen 3) (₹1.15 Lakh), the 450X (₹1.4 Lakh), the Chetak 35 Series (₹1.2 Lakh) start lower.
- Is the EC 06's 79kmph top speed enough for highway stretches?
- It typically struggles to keep pace with highway traffic at that top speed, so the EC 06 is better suited to city and suburban commuting than long highway runs.
- How practical is home charging with a 10-hour charge time?
- A full charge overnight is easy if you have access to a home socket, but the long charge time makes topping up during the day less convenient than swappable-battery rivals.
