Overview
- The Japanese design registration published July 21–22 and reported by Autocar India, RushLane and Times Now shows a near‑production scooter layout with full drawings rather than a concept sketch.
- The drawings depict a centrally mounted electric motor that sends drive to the rear wheel via a belt, a layout that differs from Yamaha’s Aerox‑E swingarm motor but echoes the EC‑06’s central placement.
- The under‑seat battery is drawn to be removable or swappable, placed above the swingarm and straddled by twin shock absorbers mounted unusually far forward on the swingarm to make room for the pack.
- Design details include twin rectangular LED headlamps with a V‑shaped daytime light, 12‑inch wheels, disc brakes front and rear, a flat floorboard and a single long seat—proportions consistent with 125cc‑equivalent commuters.
- Yamaha has not confirmed the model or timing and a patent filing does not guarantee production, but a removable battery and simple maintenance layout would matter to city riders and could position Yamaha for volume sales in price‑sensitive markets such as India.
