The scooter offers a provision of two removable battery packs of identical capacity in order to extend its range. Neo’s comes with two ride modes- STD and Eco. In STD mode, this powertrain returns a peak output of 2.5 kW (3.4PS) of power and 136 Nm of torque.Yamaha Neo’s Electric ScooterNominal power output stands at 2.3kW whereas top speed is restricted to 40kmph.

Braking is carried out by a disc brake upfront and a rear drum brake. The electric scooter rides on 13-inch alloy wheels wrapped with low rolling resistance tyres.It gets an accessible seat height of 785mm to go along with a ground clearance of 135mm which is decent enough for European roads.
