🔋 Balanced Power & Practicality
The scooter uses a 4 kWh battery paired with an IPMSM electric motor, delivering smooth performance with a comfortable top speed of 79 km/h. Charging fully using a standard home plug takes about 8 hours.
🏙️ Smart Riding Modes & Tech
Yamaha has equipped the EC-06 with three riding modes — Eco, Standard and Power — letting riders choose efficiency or energy for quick starts. A handy Reverse Mode also makes parking easier in tight spots.
📱 Connected and Practical
The EC-06 comes with a colour LCD instrument cluster that displays ride info, battery status and more. Connectivity with the Yamaha Motor Connect R app adds a layer of smart tech for riders who want real-time data and alerts.
🛴 Safety & Comfort
Braking comes from disc brakes at both ends with a Combi Brake System (CBS), helping with stable stopping power. The scooter also has decent under-seat storage (about 24.5 litres) for helmets or small bags — a bonus for city commuters.
🧠 Verdict: Yamaha’s New EV Contender
The EC-06 is Yamaha’s first real push into India’s electric scooter space — and it arrives with a strong set of specs, a competitive range and plenty of everyday-friendly features. Its performance and practicality make it a good choice if you’re looking for a premium urban EV that’s a step above basic entry models.
Being priced at around ₹1.67 lakh, it sits in the upper mid-range category of electric scooters — offering a blend of power, tech and usability rather than pure affordability.
If you’re considering an EV scooter for daily city riding with good range and connected features, the Yamaha EC-06 is one to watch.
