Yamaha Neo’s: The electric scooter of the future for the urban commuter The Yamaha Neo’s is the manufacturer’s first move into the electric mobility world.

This slick little electric scooter is a commuter solution for eco-systemists established for city use, Yamaha have merged their uncompromisingly stylish build with an electric propulsion system.

Tailored for an urban city bike ride, the Neo’s provides a touch of class to the daily grind of electric commuting, providing a clean, quiet and stylish ride to a new generation of environmentally-aware scooter riders.

Even though the scooter is small in size, it makes a great statement both aesthetically and functionally within a city.

Minimalist and Modern Styling

The very first thing that you notice at the Yamaha Neo’s is its sharp, futurist appearance.

It has short body panels, a circular LED headlight and a nice, sleek stylistic that makes it come off as a very modern European type scooter.

It comes in stylish dual-tone colors that underline its premium nature in the electric scooter space.

Its size is strength: I could toss it around crowded city streets and jam myself through traffic.

It is also clean and clutter-free and that too sets it apart from the overtly styled electric scooters that you would find on Indian streets and gives it a unique identity.

Electric Power for the perfect city ride

The Neo’s has a brushless DC hub motor and a 50.4V lithium-ion battery. lol, the motor provides a peak power of about 2.5 KW, which is good enough for most urban trips.

The scooter features a choice between two riding modes — Standard and Eco — which allow the scooter to attain a maximum speed of 40–45 km/h in Eco mode, and approximately 50 km/h in Standard mode.

Although these figures are not much to write home about, the Neo’s strong points include a linear acceleration, silent operation, and zero emission.

It is instantaneous and its tasty bed of torque, thanks to the power of electric motor, provides good pickup from a standing start, thereby thriving in stop-and-go urban traffic.

Yamaha claims a range of 38–37 km per charge with a single battery, and the extended version, double battery model can also cover more than 65–70 km which is more than enough for most users’ daily city commutes.

Small yet Mighty – When Space is at a Premium

The Neo’s, from Yamaha, is made for zipping around a city, and it feels comfortable and agile on the road.

The riding position is silly upright and its seat is absurdly wide for city cruising. It gets telescopic front forks and twin rear suspension that are both optimised to perform in city roads.

It floats over small potholes and speed bumps effortlessly.

It runs on 14-inch wheels, which is unusual for electric scooters but has the effect of making it feel extra planted, especially when the road gets rough.

Under-seat storage is good for basics including a helmet or small bag, while the flat floorboard is a useful space for toting light cargo.

Smart Features and Safety

You wouldn’t expect the Neo’s to scrimp on technology. That includes a digital instrument cluster displaying basic readouts such as speed, battery level and more.

It also is connectable through Yamaha’s app, which includes features such as ride history, battery health and location tracking.

As far as safety features are concerned, the scooter is equipped with front disc and drum brakes that provide a decent stopping power.

There’s also regenerative braking, which helps recover range when slowing down.
