The electric scooter market in India is undergoing a swift transformation. With rising demands, several well-known brands are delving deep into this segment, launching electric scooters that are rapidly gaining traction among Indian consumers. This shift is not just witnessed among established brands; several start-ups are making significant inroads into the market with their robust electric scooter offerings.
Among the global giants, Yamaha stands out, gearing up to introduce its electric scooter, the Yamaha E01. Rumors suggest that the brand plans to launch this model between October and November. More intriguingly, there’s a buzz that this scooter might boast an impressive range of 500 kilometers on a single charge, although this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.
Notably, the Yamaha E01 is set to be the company’s maiden electric scooter. Reports indicate that it might come equipped with a 4.9 kWh lithium battery, with some speculating that it could be one of the highest-capacity batteries in the scooter market. If true, this would justify the aforementioned 500-kilometer range.
Moreover, Yamaha is seemingly determined to challenge competitors like Ola and Ather in the performance department. Sources suggest that the E01 could feature an 8.01 kW electric motor, capable of generating a maximum of 10 horsepower and a torque of 30 nm. This could enable the scooter to reach top speeds of up to 105 kilometers per hour. With such potential capabilities, Yamaha’s first electric scooter promises both impressive range and exhilarating speed.
As anticipation builds, it’s speculated that Yamaha’s E01 could be priced between INR 1 lakh to 1.50 lakh in the Indian market. Only time will reveal the scooter’s actual features and how it fares in the ever-evolving Indian electric scooter landscape.
