India Yamaha Motor (IYM) Pvt. Ltd. has officially announced the price of its first electric scooter, the EC-06, at ₹1,67,600 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Offered in a Bluish White colourway, the EC-06 will be retailed in select cities exclusively through Yamaha’s premium Blue Square dealerships.
The launch marks Yamaha’s strategic entry into India’s rapidly evolving electric mobility segment and underscores the company’s long-term commitment to ecological sustainability. The EC-06 aligns with the Government of India’s National Mission on Transformative Mobility and supports the country’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, while reinforcing Yamaha’s broader carbon-neutrality roadmap in line with Indian emission norms and the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Designed for urban riders seeking a modern, stylish and functional daily commuter, the EC-06 delivers a certified range of 169 km, making it well-suited for everyday mobility needs. The scooter blends Yamaha’s core design DNA with contemporary aesthetics, featuring a stable stance, elevated proportions and enhanced manoeuvrability for city traffic. Its horizontal core layout highlights structural balance and precision, while sharp, clean body lines appeal to younger customers looking for a distinctive yet practical riding experience.
Developed in India with a global perspective, the EC-06 is powered by a 4 kWh fixed battery paired with an IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor). The powertrain delivers a top speed of 79 km/h, maximum torque of 26 Nm, and peak power of 6.7 kW, ensuring smooth and sustainable performance for daily commuting. The battery is backed by a 3-year or 30,000 km warranty, while charging is conveniently supported via a standard household power socket, with a full charge taking approximately eight hours.
Enhancing durability and rider confidence, the EC-06 features IP67-rated motor and battery protection and IP65-rated electronics, offering strong resistance to water and dust for reliable operation across diverse riding conditions.
To suit diverse riding preferences, the EC-06 offers three riding modes – Eco, Standard, and Power – allowing riders to optimize efficiency, performance, or acceleration as needed. A convenient Reverse Mode simplifies manoeuvring in tight spaces, while the telescopic front suspension with hydraulic dampers and rear coil spring suspension, both ensures a smooth ride through urban conditions.
Equipped with 200mm front and rear disc brakes and a Combi Brake System (CBS), the EC-06 delivers precise braking and enhanced stability. A vibrant colour LCD display provides real-time information on speed, battery status, riding modes, and connectivity features, making every ride intuitive and informed. Complementing this is a set of LED headlights and taillights, which not only improve visibility during night rides and low-light conditions but also add a sleek, contemporary aesthetic to the scooter’s design.
Taking connectivity to the next level, the new EV scooter integrates the “Yamaha Motor Connect R” app, enabling real-time data access and smart features for a connected riding experience. With an impressive 24.5 litres of under-seat storage, riders have ample space for helmets, bags, or daily essentials – making the EC-06 the perfect companion for an urban lifestyle.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Hajime Aota, Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group said, “The EC-06 marks an important step in Yamaha’s journey toward sustainable urban mobility. As India accelerates its transition toward a carbon-neutral future under the government’s visionary leadership, Yamaha is proud to support this national agenda through high-quality electric innovation. Designed for everyday commuting, it balances efficiency with performance, offering an impressive range and intuitive features. As a first-of-its-kind model from Yamaha, it demonstrates how sustainability and riding excitement can coexist—true to our brand philosophy and our responsibility towards the future of India’s green economy.”
Yamaha’s commitment extends beyond product delivery. The introduction of the EC-06 is timed to complement India’s evolving EV ecosystem, supported by initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and the expansion of charging infrastructure. By localizing development and aligning with the ‘Make in India’ spirit, Yamaha aims to be a key player in reducing the nation’s dependence on fossil fuels and lowering the carbon footprint of the two-wheeler industry.
Catering to today’s young, tech-savvy trendsetters, the EC-06 resonates with riders who embrace innovation, style, and sustainability. They seek smart, reliable, and distinctive mobility solutions that reflect their individuality and eco-conscious mindset.
