Yamaha just dropped four new two wheelers in India and the mix feels quite bold. The XSR155, FZ-RAVE, Aerox E and EC-06 try to please both petrol fans and new EV riders. The launch also marks Yamaha’s first proper step into the Indian electric scooter space.
One launch, four fresh machines
This launch packs a lot into one move.
The XSR155 brings a neo retro look that many riders already know from other markets.
The FZ-RAVE refreshes the trusted FZ line for daily use in busy cities.
The Aerox E and EC-06 step in as the first Yamaha branded electric scooters for India.
So who are these four really for.
They target three clear groups.
Riders who want 150 cc sport hardware with a classic style.
Riders who want a tough looking street bike at a fair price.
Riders who want quiet, low cost electric scooters with real range.
XSR155. Retro look, MT-15 heart
The XSR155 shares its core with the MT-15.
It runs a 155 cc liquid cooled single cylinder engine with variable valve actuation.
Power stays in the 18 to 19 hp range and torque sits around 14 to 15 Nm.
A six speed gearbox keeps the bike calm at higher speeds and still quick in the city.
Kerb weight stays close to 137 kg and the fuel tank holds about 10 litres.
This balance keeps the bike light in traffic but still ready for longer weekend runs.
The launch price sits near ₹1.49 lakh ex showroom Delhi, so the model sits in the premium end of the 150 cc space.
Design follows the global XSR family.
You get a round LED headlamp and a small LED tail lamp.
There is a single piece seat with a clean line from tank to tail.
A digital LCD dash, wide handlebar and dual purpose tyres finish the package.
The XSR155 suits riders who like old school looks but want modern tech such as ABS and LED lights.
FZ-RAVE. Daily street bike with fresh attitude
The FZ-RAVE keeps things simple and tough for daily riders.
It uses a 149 cc air cooled single cylinder engine with about 12.4 PS and 13.3 Nm of torque.
The five speed gearbox focuses on smooth city use, not very high top speed.
The bike weighs around 136 kg and holds 13 litres of fuel.
Price stays close to ₹1.17 lakh ex showroom Delhi, right inside the core 150 cc street segment.
Hardware includes disc brakes at both ends and single channel ABS.
Yamaha adds the Motorcycle Connect X Bluetooth unit for call and SMS alerts plus ride data.
There is a side stand engine cut off for extra safety in daily stops.
A negative LCD cluster and sharp graphics push the FZ-RAVE toward younger riders who want a sporty look without a huge jump in cost.
Aerox E. Sporty electric scooter for city runs
The Aerox E takes the aggressive shape of the petrol Aerox 155 and turns it into an EV.
The tall front, split floorboard and maxi style body stay in place.
Under that body sits an electric motor with a fixed battery pack.
Early figures point to a battery size near 3 kWh and a claimed range around 100 to 110 km on one full charge under test conditions.
That range keeps the Aerox E well inside typical daily use for big cities.
Riders get quick response from the motor, quiet running and far lower energy cost than a comparable petrol scooter.
Full output numbers, final range ratings, charging times and the exact price for India will come closer to the sales start.
Yamaha has already said that local production will run under India Yamaha Motor with sales planned for the coming year.
EC-06. Long range EV from the River tie up
The EC-06 comes from a joint effort with Bengaluru based River Mobility.
It uses a version of the River Indie platform and focuses on long range and strong utility.
The scooter carries a fixed battery of about 4 kWh and a claimed certified range in the 150 to 160 km band per charge under standard tests.
Top speed sits close to 90 km/h, so the EC-06 works for city traffic, ring roads and short highway links.
Charging from a regular home socket takes roughly one full night.
Many riders will plug in after work and wake up to a full battery each morning.
The design keeps a long, flat stance with a wide floorboard.
There is generous space for bags and daily shopping.
Yamaha adds its own colour schemes and trim levels so the scooter feels like part of the rest of its lineup.
Early price talk places the EC-06 around ₹1.5 lakh ex showroom.
Final tags and any extra variants will appear closer to launch.
What this means if you shop for a new bike or scooter
These four models give Yamaha a clear path for riders in India.
A new rider can start with the FZ-RAVE as a solid, fair priced street bike.
The XSR155 then offers a move into a more premium style and stronger hardware.
On the EV side the Aerox E stands as a fun, sporty city scooter.
The EC-06 targets riders who need long range and a lot of cargo space in one machine.
The move also shows that Yamaha now treats electric two wheelers in India as a serious part of its plan.
Both electric scooters focus on practical range, storage space and home charging, not just flashy specs.
At the same time the XSR155 and FZ-RAVE keep the 150 cc petrol class fresh with modern features and distinct looks.
For Indian buyers the result is simple.
More real choice across petrol and electric segments, with enough style and features to fit many tastes and budgets.
