Powered by a fixed 4 kWh battery, it boasts an impressive IDC-claimed range of 160 km and a top speed of 90 km/h. With its 4.5 kW continuous (6.7 kW peak) motor, disc brakes, ABS, and integrated telematics, the EC-06 blends performance with advanced connectivity features.
ICE Models: Expanding the Premium and Deluxe Range
Apart from EVs, Yamaha will introduce eight internal combustion engine (ICE) models, covering both the premium and deluxe segments. Two of these — the XSR155 and FZ-RAVE — have already hit the Indian roads.
