1️⃣ What Has Been Revealed So Far

Yamaha’s announcement reveals several key details about the EC-06:

The scooter is based on the River Indie platform via Yamaha’s collaboration with River Mobility. Auto.MotorMitra
It uses a 4 kWh fixed battery pack and a motor rated for 6.7 kW peak output (≈4.5 kW nominal). A top speed of ~90 km/h is mentioned.
The claimed IDC range stands at 160 km on a single charge.
Charging time to full is around 9 hours with a standard home plug set-up.
Under-seat storage is listed at ~24.5 litres, which is modest compared to some other scooters. times.motormitra.in

2️⃣ Battery, Motor & Performance Highlights

Battery & Motor:

The EC-06’s heart is a 4 kWh lithium-ion battery — a fairly large pack for its category in India. Paired with a motor peaking at 6.7 kW, the scooter promises quick electric responses suited for city and inter-urban riding. motormitra.in

Performance & Range:

Claim: 160 km on a full charge (IDC).
Top speed: ~90 km/h (as disclosed).
Charging: ~9 hours with standard home charger. Auto.MotorMitra

What this means:

For daily urban commutes and short suburban rides, 160 km is competitive — especially as real-world conditions in India evolve. The EC-06 could be a strong option for riders looking for premium EV capability rather than just commuter simplicity. times.motormitra.in

3️⃣ Features, Tech & Practicality

Beyond the powertrain, the EC-06 comes with noteworthy features:

LED lighting front and rear, colour LCD instrument cluster.
Three riding modes plus reverse assist (for tight parking).
Disc brakes front and rear.
Under-seat storage of 24.5 litres — decent but not segment-leading. Auto.MotorMitra

Practicality considerations:

While the 160 km range is strong, charging infrastructure and home-plug usability will be critical.
Storage is average for a scooter aiming at premium buyers — could limit heavier usage.
Premium features justify positioning, but pricing and servicing will decide market success. times.motormitra.in

4️⃣ Positioning, Price Expectations & Market Outlook

Positioning:

The EC-06 is targeted at riders who seek more than basic electric mobility — they want style, technology and a premium feel. Yamaha is clearly entering the “premium EV scooter” domain, not just the budget commuter segment. motormitra.in

Expected Price in India:

Reports suggest a starting price around ₹1.5 lakh (ex-showroom), though official pricing is yet to be confirmed.

Launch Timeline:

India launch expected in 2026, aligned with Yamaha’s broader EV rollout strategy. Auto.MotorMitra

Outlook:

If priced right and supported by infrastructure, the EC-06 could carve a strong niche. The key challenges:

Charging network & home-plug convenience
Resale value and servicing ecosystem for EVs
Real-world range must meet urban expectations. times.motormitra.in
