    Yamaha Electric Scooter Spied Testing – Design Elements Revealed

    New Yamaha Electric Scooter SpiedWhile retaining the powertrain and utilitarian features, Yamaha’s version of the River Indie has sharper and distinctive styling
    As part of its collaboration with River Mobility, Yamaha is working on a new electric scooter based on the River’s Indie EV. It is expected to be launched in India later this year and will also cater to export markets. Codenamed RY01, Yamaha’s version of the River Indie was recently spotted on road tests in Bengaluru. Let’s check out the details.
    Yamaha Electric Scooter Spied Testing – Key features
    Similar to the River Indie, the Yamaha version has a prominent road presence. With the Indie electric scooter having a wheelbase of 1,365 mm, the size is comparable to the popular 350cc bikes. Yamaha’s version has some distinctive features such as the vertically stacked dual headlamp setup. In comparison, the River Indie electric scooter has a horizontally positioned dual headlamp setup.
    New Yamaha Electric Scooter Based on River Indie
    Yamaha’s version of the Indie has a sharper and more revealing profile for the side panels. While the Indie has pannier mounts on both sides, Yamaha’s version seems to have replaced it with a layered design element. As this section is fully camouflaged, it is difficult to tell if some utilitarian functions are still available. Some changes are noticeable across the front apron as well. The tail lamp has a new design and is placed higher in comparison to that of the Indie scooter.
    Features that are largely the same as Indie include the 14-inch wheels and the distinctive swingarm design. Yamaha’s version of the Indie is using the same 6-inch colour LCD display. The side crash protection bars also seem to be present, even though they are fully camouflaged. Yamaha’s version will retain the storage options, a 12 litres glove box at the front and 43 litres of underseat storage.
    New Yamaha Electric Scooter Based on River Indie
    Powertrain, range, specs
    Performance aspects of Yamaha’s version are expected to be largely the same as that of River Indie. The latter utilizes a 4 kWh Li-ion battery pack that supplies power to a 6.7 kW (9 BHP) electric motor. IDC certified range is 161 km. The scooter has a top speed of 90 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. Based on their needs, users can choose riding modes of Eco, Ride or Rush. Negotiating inclines won’t be an issue, as the scooter has rated gradeability of 18 degrees.
    River Indie’s battery pack is IP67 water and dust resistant. It supports fast charging, allowing users to load 0 to 80% in around 5 hours. The scooter has a steel tubular double cradle frame, integrated with telescopic front suspension and twin hydraulic dampers at the rear.
    New Yamaha Electric Scooter Based on River Indie
    Braking setup comprises 240 mm front and 200 mm rear disc, integrated with a combined braking system. Other key features include LED lighting, hazard light, boot light, side stand motor cut-off, aluminium footpegs, USB port and reverse parking assist. Water wade capability is rated at 300 mm.
    Pricing
    While the River Indie is available at a starting price of Rs 1.44 lakh, Yamaha’s version could be offered with a higher price tag. Launch is expected later this year. Yamaha’s version of the River Indie electric scooter will take on rivals like Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak.

    Yamaha Electric Scooter For India Launch This Year – New Details

    Yamaha Electric scooters Showcased in India – Image for reference
    While the company is not currently active in the Indian electric scooter market, Yamaha has big plans. The Japanese brand is reportedly developing a new electric scooter codenamed RY01, which will be based on River Indie. This upcoming electric scooter will be a global product and will be launched by the end of this year. Let’s see what’s what.
    Yamaha New Electric Scooter
    The Indian electric scooter market has had a major tilt in the scale as the segment leader Ola Electric has had a significant downfall. TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto have benefited from these developments and the time seems to be ripe for Japanese brands to enter this segment. Honda with Activa e and QC1 and Suzuki with e-Access. What is Yamaha doing? One might wonder.
    Yamaha Electric Scooters Showcased For India in 2022
    As per a recent report, Yamaha has commenced development of its first electric scooter for India. This is a joint operation with Indian electric mobility startup River. Internally, Yamaha’s first electric scooter is codenamed RY01, which could mean River Yamaha 01. This move marks the company’s entry into India’s vastly lucrative electric scooter segment.
    Launch is slated to happen by the end of 2025 and production will reportedly begin around July 2025 and September 2025. Yamaha is said to have complete project ownership, while River is entrusted with innovation and execution. This means River will handle engineering, R&D, powertrain, battery and manufacturing for Yamaha.
    River Indie
    Alongside this River-derived electric scooter, Yamaha is also said to be working on a new global electric 2W platform that will break covers in 2026 or 2027. River’s plant in Bengaluru is said to be compatible with Yamaha’s quality and production standards. This joint project is likely to prove beneficial for Yamaha in terms of localisation, cost efficiency, engineering and R&D.
    What to expect?
    This development is a part of the USD 40 million investment Yamaha made in River as part of its Series B fundraising in 2024. As per the report, Yamaha RY01 will be based on the same platform as River Indie and will be powered by the same (or slightly tweaked) powertrain components including battery and motor.
    River Indie
    Design is where Yamaha’s electric scooter will have a distinct identity, falling in line with its reputation for sporty and premium offerings. For context, River Indie offers a 4 kWh battery pack that is rated for 161 km of range from a single charge (IDC certified). This battery powers a 6.7 kW (around 9 bhp) PMSM electric motor.

    Yamaha India Launches 10 Yrs Warranty – R15, MT15, FZ, Fascino, RayZR

    Yamaha 10-Year Total Warranty Launched
    As part of its 40-year sales milestone in the Asian subcontinent, India Yamaha Motors has been in the celebration mode for some time now. The company is redefining its premium scooter and motorcycle lineup with a new 10-year Total Warranty on its made-in-India vehicles as part of this celebration. Let’s take a closer look.
    Yamaha 10-Year Total Warranty
    With a goal to offer more value to its customers, India Yamaha Motors has upped the game in the aftersales aspect. The company is basically offering an extended warranty with their made-in-India scooters and motorcycles that take a total coverage period of 10 years. This might emerge as a game-changing strategy for the brand in its 2W journey in India.
    Yamaha R15
    Called 10-year Total Warranty, the company is offering an 8-year extended warranty on top of the standard 2-year warranty. This is in a bid to offer long-term reliability of their scooters and motorcycles along with delivering superior quality and total peace of mind across the country with its made-in-India scooters and motorcycles.
    So, imports like the MT-03 and R3 are not part of this offer. This extended warranty will be applicable to coverages regarding the engine and electrical components including its electronic fuel injection system. This is a limited-period offer only and is being implemented as part of its 40-year milestone operating in India.
    2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S – Ice Fluo Vermillion
    Extended coverage
    As part of this limited-period offer, Yamaha is extending the warranty of its scooter lineup (Fascino 125 Fi, RayZR Fi and Aerox 155 Version S) with a coverage of up to 1,00,000 km and motorcycle lineup (FZ Series, MT-15 and R15) with a coverage of up to 1,25,000 km as part of its 10-years Total Warranty.
    Sweetening the deal further is the fact that this 10-year Total Warranty is fully transferable to subsequent owners. This will boost resale value of its scooters and motorcycles bought within a limited time period when this offer persisted. After this offer period is over, new buyers can still opt for this extended warranty at a nominal cost once the standard warranty period is over.
    2024 Yamaha FZ-X Chrome Colour
    As mentioned above, this 10-year Total Warranty offer is only for a limited period and is applicable only for made-in-India scooters and motorcycles. This initiative is likely to provide the company with a good response and build lasting relationships with customers and offer premium and VFM propositions to buyers. More

    2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Launched – Gets New Colour, Updated Graphics

    2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Version SIndia Yamaha Motor has just updated its sporty and performance scooter, the Aerox 155. While it is currently the only one of its kind in India, it is a go-to scooter where buyers crave more performance from their scooters than what is conventionally available in the market. With the MY25 version, there have been some cosmetic revisions. Let’s take a closer look.
    2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Launched
    Yamaha has just updated its flagship scooter in the Indian market to MY25 version. It is entirely carried over to 2025 model year, while getting subtle updates in the way it looks, especially with Version S trim and packing powertrains that comply with latest emission standards. Even the price for 2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 and Version S variant hav been carried over as it was.
    Speaking of, 2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 costs Rs 1,50,130 (Ex-sh) and Version S with more features than standard model costs Rs 1,53,430 (Ex-sh). Standard Aerox 155 continues to be offered in a Metallic Black colourway. The main change is in the colourways offered with 2025 Aerox 155 Version S variant.
    2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S – Ice Fluo Vermillion
    Yamaha is offering MY25 version of Aerox 155 Version S in two colourways – Racing Blue and Ice Fluo Vermillion colourway. It has to be noted that Racing Blue is more or less the same as seen with MY24 version, albeit with a few new graphics. Ice Fluo Vermillion is all new and it replaces Grey Vermillion.
    The new Ice Fluo Vermillion colourway looks rather nice, we would say. It packs a White-ish colour on its front apron and side body panels with Black and Fluo Orange as contrasting colours. We can see this Fluo Orange shade in its wheels too. Aerox 155 Version S Racing Blue gets Blue painted wheels.
    Any other changes?
    Version S is the only variant to get a Smart Key that unlocks keyless go function that works effectively well, as we found during our time with it. The same 155cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4V single-cylinder engine with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) as R15, powers this scooter, delivering 14.75 bhp and 13.9 Nm. This engine is now BS6 P2 OBD2B emission standard compliant too.
    2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S – Racing Blue
    Riding on 14-inch alloy wheels at both ends, Aerox 155 has been the de facto sporty performance scooter in India and Hero MotoCorp has just crashed Yamaha’s party with Xoom 160. It has to be noted that Hero has launched Xoom 160 at Rs 1,48,500 (Ex-sh), but deliveries of this ADV-style maxi-scooter are yet to commence. More

    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched In Malaysia – Gets New Colour

    2025 Yamaha MT-15 LaunchedYamaha MT-15 is one of the most popular street motorcycles in the world. Owing to its pricing, weight and performance it packs, it has been a sought after choice by many. In Malaysia, Yamaha has updated the MT-15 to MY25 version with a new colourway, while retaining the prices that MY24 version had. Let’s take a closer look.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    Yamaha has a successful premium 155cc motorcycle portfolio in India. We’re talking about MT-15 Street Fighter and R15 Supersport machines that have been extremely popular and sought after. In February 2025, Yamaha sold 9,490 units of MT-15 showing just how popular it is in the country.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    In Malaysia, however, Yamaha has updated MT-15 to MY25 version. If you’re looking at a host of updates and changes, you will not find any. Also, if you were expecting a price hike with this update to MY25 version, you would be pleasantly surprised as Yamaha has carried over MY24 prices.
    Speaking of, 2025 Yamaha MT-15 in Malaysia has been priced at RM 12,498 without registration taxes and insurance. This turns out to be around Rs 2.4 lakh. This is the same price Yamaha was selling MY24 version for. The main addition is a new Ice-Storm colourway that looks rather nice.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    It gets Ice Blue shade as highlight colour which can be seen on fuel tank, rear subframe panel and on both alloy wheels. This Ice Blue is darker than Cyan and lighter than Racing Blue offered in India. It looks cool and has a charm of its own. Something we wished Yamaha Motor India launched here as well.
    What else is new?
    Currently, Yamaha MT-15 is offered in Dark Matte Blue, Metallic Black, Cyan Storm DLX, Ice Fluo-Vermillion DLX, Metallic Black DLX, Racing Blue DLX and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Edition colourways in India. The addition of Ice-Storm colourway would spruce up the colour palette on this motorcycle.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    While at it, we wish Yamaha also updates MT-15’s instrumentation with the same TFT cluster seen on R15 and now on lower tier FZ-S FI Hybrid. At least as on option. Other than that 2025 Yamaha MT-15 launched in Malaysia has no changes over MY24 version. It gets the same Gold USD forks at front and mono-shock at the rear and disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.
    The 140-section rear tyre is fat and offers a lot of cornering ability. Powertrain continues to be the same 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl VVA engine that can crank out around 18 bhp of peak power and 14.1 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. More

    2025 Yamaha FZ-S FI Launch Price Rs 1.35L – Gets New Colours, Updates

    2025 Yamaha FZ-S FI
    Yamaha has just updated the FZ-S FI in India to MY25. With this update, it will get a slight upwards price revision. The company has introduced a slight design revision as well as a few new colours to spruce up the MY25 version. Let’s take a closer look at these new changes with MY25 version of Yamaha FZ-S FI.
    2025 Yamaha FZ-S Launch
    Yamaha has launched the MY25 version of FZ-S FI in India rather silently. It features the exact same design, albeit with one minor revision, and offers a bunch of new colours. Four to be exact – Matte Black, Ice Fluo-Vermillion, Metallic Grey and Cyber Green. With these new colourways, Yamaha is offering a different aesthetic than the preceding model.
    New Yamaha FZ-S FI – Cyber Green
    Prices for 2025 Yamaha FZ-S FI start from Rs 1,34,800 (Ex-sh) and it remains the same for all colourways. This new pricing is Rs Rs 3,600 more than FZ-S FI Ver 4.0. We can see that Yamaha has dropped Ver 4.0 from this model’s name, a strategy we recently saw with FZ-S FI Hybrid as well.
    Speaking of, sales of Yamaha FZ-S FI Ver 4.0, FZ-S FI Ver 3.0 and FZ-FI are still live and are likely to stay that way until stocks last. The main update with MY25 FZ-S FI is in the engine department. It gets an updated powertrain which is compliant with latest and stricter BS6 OBD2B emission standards.
    New Yamaha FZ-S FI – Ice Fluo-Vermillion
    How to identify MY25 version apart from its predecessors? One might ask. Apart from the new colours, MY25 FZ-S FI has just one design change, which is subtle and can go easily unnoticed. The turn indicators. Yamaha has moved front turn indicators from headlight assembly to its tank shrouds. Also, the chrome around tank shrouds is now gloss Black.
    What is new?
    If you’re wondering whether 2025 Yamaha FZ-S FI gets the new TFT instrument cluster, that is exclusively offered with FZ-S FI Hybrid only. Which is priced at Rs 1,44,800 (Ex-sh). However, if you just want an FZ without any bells and whistles, Yamaha is still selling the older FZ-FI at a price point of 1,17,940 (Ex-sh).

    2025 Yamaha FZ-S FI is powered by a 149cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 2V/cyl engine that is capable of 12 bhp of peak power and 13.3 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

    2025 Yamaha XSR125 Launch Price JPY 460K (Rs 2.6L) – New Colours, Updates

    2025 Yamaha XSR125 LaunchWhile there is no official statement, entry-level Yamaha bikes like the XSR125 could be a hit among enthusiasts in India
    Yamaha introduced the XSR125 neo-retro bike in 2021. It is part of Yamaha’s XSR Sport Heritage family that also includes the XSR700 and XSR900. Yamaha has now introduced the 2025 XSR125 with two new colour options in Japan. Prices for this entry-level bike start at 460,000 yen (Rs 2.62 lakh). Let’s take a look.
    2025 Yamaha XSR125 – New colours
    Users can now choose from two new colour options of Light Bluish Gray Metallic and Berry Dark Orange Metallic. These are essentially Silver and Brown colour options. Among the two, the brown shade comes across as the most captivating. It complements the bike’s retro vibes and adds a more premium touch.
    2025 Yamaha XSR125
    The glossy brown shade has been applied on the headlamp cowl, fuel tank and side panels. For a more dynamic look and feel, the fuel tank and side panels also have contrasting shades of grey and yellow. XSR125 lettering in yellow can be seen on the side panel. Rest of the bike’s surfaces are a mix of black and metallic finishes.
    Talking about the new Silver colour, the application can be seen on the fuel tank and headlamp cowl. Most of the other surfaces are black, paired with metallic finishes for a vibrant feel. The third colour option available with the 2025 Yamaha XSR125 is Black Metallic. This has been carried forward from the outgoing model. It is essentially an all-black shade, with glossy finish applied on the fuel tank and side panels.
    2025 Yamaha XSR125
    A unique aspect of the Black Metallic shade is the USD forks in golden finish. In comparison, the new Silver and Brown shades have the USD forks in black finish. While golden USD forks look great with several bikes, it doesn’t seem to create a similar impact with the XSR125. The black painted units seem to pair better with this Yamaha bike. While the Silver and Black shades have the YAMAHA lettering on the fuel tank, the Brown variant has the brand’s logo on the fuel tank.
    No other changes
    Apart from the two new colour additions, the 2025 Yamaha XSR125 remains the same as earlier. Powering the bike is a 124cc, water cooled, SOHC, single cylinder engine that generates 15 PS and 12 Nm of torque. It is mated to a constant mesh 6-speed gearbox. Similar to other Yamaha bikes, the XSR125 is equipped with VVA tech (variable valve actuation).
    2025 Yamaha XSR125
    Other key highlights include an assist and slipper clutch for easy gear shifts. The bike utilizes a diamond frame and swing arm suspension at the rear. Both ends have 17-inch wheels, wrapped in 110/70 front and 140/70 rear tubeless tyres. Braking setup comprises single disc brakes at both ends.
    Yamaha XSR125 has a circular headlamp, tear-drop fuel tank, a single piece seat, upswept exhaust, rugged sump guard and circular tail light. Tech package includes a circular full colour LCD instrument screen. It displays a range of information such as speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and gear position.
