Eyeing the Yamaha EC-06? 5 things you should know before buying
Check out the EC-06 electric scooter's specifications, riding modes and practicality features.
Yamaha has entered India’s electric two-wheeler market with the EC-06, positioning it as a premium electric scooter for urban buyers. Priced at ₹1,67,600 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the EC-06 will be sold through Yamaha’s Blue Square dealerships in select cities and is currently offered in a single Bluish White shade. If you are considering the Yamaha EC-06, here are five key highlights you should know before making a decision:
1. 4 kWh battery and claimed 169 km range
The Yamaha EC-06 is powered by a fixed 4 kWh battery pack paired with an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM). The motor delivers 6.7 kW and 26 Nm of torque, with a top speed rated at 79 kmph. Yamaha claims an IDC-certified riding range of 169 km on a full charge, suited for daily commutes within the city rather than highway use. Warranty coverage spans three years or 30,000 km, whichever comes first.

2. Charging time and protection standards
The EC-06 can be charged via a standard household socket, with a full charge taking between 8-10 hours, depending on conditions. A 0 to 80 per cent charge is estimated to take around 9 hours. The motor and battery are IP67 certified for protection against dust and water ingress, while other electronic components meet IP65 standards.
3. Three riding modes and reverse assist
The EC-06 offers three riding modes: Eco, Standard and Power. These alter throttle response and performance characteristics to balance range and acceleration. A Reverse Mode is also included, which can be useful in manoeuvring the scooter through tight spaces.
4. Disc brakes at both ends with CBS
Braking duties are handled by 200 mm disc brakes at the front and rear, supported by a Combined Braking System. The EC-06 is held up by telescopic front forks and a rear coil spring, tuned for city riding conditions. The e-scooter also comes equipped with LED headlamps and tail lamps as standard.
