Yamaha EC-06 Electric Scooter Launched in India: Price, Range, and Features Revealed

India Yamaha Motor (IYM) has officially made its grand entry into the Indian electric vehicle (EV) segment with the launch of the much anticipated Yamaha EC-06 electric scooter.

Positioned as a premium urban mobility solution, the EC-06 marks a strategic shift for the Japanese manufacturer as it aligns with India’s growing demand for sustainable transportation.

Yamaha EC-06 Price and Availability in India

The Yamaha EC-06 price in India has been set at ₹1,67,600 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
To maintain its premium positioning, Yamaha will retail the scooter exclusively through its Blue Square showrooms. The rollout will begin in select Tier 1 cities before expanding to other regions across the country.

Performance: Range and Battery Specs

The standout feature of the new Yamaha electric scooter is its impressive certified range of 169 km on a single charge, effectively addressing "range anxiety" for daily city commuters.

• Battery Pack: 4 kWh fixed Lithium-ion battery.

• Motor: Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM).

• Power Output: 6.7 kW (9.1 bhp) peak power and 26 Nm of torque.

• Top Speed: 79 km/hr.

Charging the EC-06 is designed to be convenient for home users. Using a standard domestic socket, the scooter takes approximately 8 hours to reach a full charge. For added peace of mind, Yamaha offers a 3-year or 30,000 km warranty on the battery.

Modern Design and Smart Features

The EC-06 carries Yamaha’s signature design DNA clean, sporty, and functional. It features a horizontal core layout that provides a stable stance, making it easy to maneuver through dense Indian traffic.

Key Features Include:

• Riding Modes: Three modes (Eco, Standard, and Power) plus a dedicated Reverse Mode for easy parking.

• Smart Connectivity: The scooter is compatible with the Yamaha Motor Connect R app, allowing riders to track vehicle health, location, and battery status via smartphone.

• Safety: Equipped with 200mm disc brakes at both ends and a Combi Brake System (CBS) for enhanced stopping power.

• Utility: A generous 24.5 litre under seat storage compartment and full LED lighting.

Built for Indian Conditions

Yamaha has ensured the EC-06 is rugged enough for local weather. The motor and battery carry an IP67 rating, while other electronic components are IP65 rated, ensuring high protection against dust and heavy rain.

Competition and Market Outlook

At its current price point, the Yamaha EC-06 enters a competitive space, rivaling the likes of the Ather 450X, Ola S1 Pro, and TVS iQube ST. While it may not be the fastest in its segment, Yamaha is betting on its reputation for reliability, build quality, and a balanced riding experience to attract buyers.

With the government’s push toward the Net-Zero 2070 target, the launch of the EC-06 is a clear signal that Yamaha is ready to be a major player in India’s electric two-wheeler revolution.
