Overview
- The EC-06, which reviewers rode Monday, shares the River Indie’s 6.7 kW motor and 4 kWh battery yet adds Yamaha styling and retuned suspension for a more agile feel.
- Yamaha set the price at Rs 1.67–1.68 lakh ex-showroom, about Rs 20,000–22,000 higher than the Indie, with sales through select dealers and roughly 20-city availability by end-April.
- The included 450-watt charger takes about 10 hours for a full charge and there is no fast-charging option.
- Practicality is reduced by the smaller 24.5-litre underseat bay and the removal of the Indie’s front glovebox.
- Yamaha quotes a 79 km/h top speed, but multiple test rides recorded speedo readings around 91–92 km/h in Power mode.
