The scooter has a kerb weight of 139kg, which should provide a stable ride while still being manageable in city traffic.

BikeDekho Says

The Yamaha AeroxE is a difficult scooter to recommend. While it retains the sporty styling and sharp handling of the petrol Aerox, its real-world range is underwhelming, charging could have been slightly quicker, and the performance simply doesn’t feel worthy of the Aerox name. Ride comfort also leaves room for improvement. The biggest drawback, however, is its Rs 2.82 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) price tag. At nearly double the price of the petrol Aerox, it offers less practicality, less performance, and lower real-world usability. Its closest rival is the TVS X, while sporty electric scooters like the Ather 450 Apex, Simple One Ultra, and Keeway Hypevolt offer a much better value proposition at a lower price.
