Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. announced in India today the November 2025 launch of two new electric scooter models for the country: the AEROX E electric sport scooter developed in-house by Yamaha, and the EC-06 electric scooter created in collaboration with River Mobility Private Limited.
The AEROX E electric sport scooter is one of Yamaha’s high value-added models developed in line with its premium segment strategy for the ASEAN region and other emerging markets, as outlined in its Medium-Term Management Plan. The gasoline-powered AEROX 155 has already been well received in the Indian market, and the AEROX E delivers that same signature Yamaha sporty ride and stylish exterior design with an electric version. By launching this model, the Company aims to establish a premium brand image in India’s EV market. The AEROX E will be produced by India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd.
The EC-06 electric scooter is based on a production model from River and was developed to appeal to a broader range of customers. It features a “Stylish & Cool” exterior design theme fitting customers leading an active daily lifestyle. River Mobility will handle the EC-06’s production.
In January 2024, Yamaha Motor invested in River and has since been exploring opportunities with the company for collaborations in the EV business within the Indian market. The EC-06 is the first product to emerge from this partnership.
In addition, Yamaha Motor has set a companywide environmental goal to achieve carbon neutrality in Scope 3*Category 11-emissions generated from product use-by 2050 through a multi-pathway approach. The launch of the AEROX E and EC-06 models in the Indian market represents one of the Company’s initiatives toward achieving this goal.
