Yamaha recently launched their new MIO 125 electric scooter, shaking up the electric two-wheeler category in India. The scooter is one of the most powerful in the segment, offering an impressive 380 km range on a single charge, coupled with a 20-minute fast charging to full.
Performance Meets Practicality
Yamaha has certainly broken the stereotypes that the MIO 125 Electric has to suffer from. Charging is no longer an inconvenience, and the mileage is more than enough for city and intercity travel. In fact, charging is so convenient, a quick stop while on the go for a coffee would allow the scooter to charge fully.
Affordability at the Forefront
To enable the adoption of electric two wheelers, Yamaha has introduced an EMI scheme with a minimum of 999 a month. With the unprecedented rise in fuel prices, the MIO 125 Electric is likely to be attractive to many eco conscious users, especially college students, office goers, and daily commuters from tier 2 to tier 3 cities.
Designed Specifically for India
Smart connectivity, a digital instrument cluster, and better suspension for rough Indian roads have all been integrated to the scooter.
The long-term ownership in his scooter will be better budget-wise as both the lightweight frame and motor of the scooter lower maintenance cost.
A Changing Point For The Market
The Yamaha version of the scooter is believed by industry experts to be a serious competitor to the already existing industry players. The Yamaha government aders may also adopt a push strategy with products like MIO 125 Electric, also enabling India to be a step closer to eco-friendly transportation.
