A recent shift has also been recorded in the entry-level segment that indicates that more buyers now plan to invest in scooters than bikes, of course, thanks to the varied options available. While Yamaha still has a relatively tiny share in the Indian scooter market, its other Japanese counterpart has really cracked the code with its offerings.
But Yamaha has shown in the past that its scooters (Fascino 125 and the RayZR 125) even though holding a small customer base, have proved to be very compelling propositions. Another unconventional bit that can be highlighted is the addition of the radiator panel on the right side of the scooter, which in my opinion, looks cool. While there is adequate space to keep your regular paraphernalia, it simply can not accommodate a full-size rider helmet which is a big downer. While the Aerox does get a fully digital anti-glare multifunction negative LCD that comes brimming with an array of information, seeing the kind of premium Yamaha is charging for this scooter.
The screen displays all the required info in a very legible and no-nonsense format, and the data remains visible even in bright daylight conditions. The 0-60 kmph is achieved lighting fast, and also attaining triple-digit speeds feels stupendously easy on the Aerox.
Even with a front as wide as 110 mm, its nose feels light and agile, and that’s majorly because of the choice of the right rim size. The fat tyres not only give the scooter a very intimidating look but also keep it planted no matter how aggressively you ride it around the corners.

Yamaha Aerox 155 Price – Mileage, Colours, Images
The Yamaha Aerox 155 is India’s most affordable performance-oriented scooter with a liquid-cooled engine. The Aerox 155 is packed with features like LED illumination with hazard light function, a digital LCD instrument cluster, smartphone connectivity via Yamaha’s Y-connect app, single-channel ABS and segment-first traction control as standard.
The Aerox 155 rolls on 14-inch tyres sprung on a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers. The Aerox primarily rivals the Aprilia SXR 160, which fails to match the Yamaha’s features or power figures.
For a similar price, one can also go green and get the Ola S1 Pro or Ather 450X electric scooters.
