Pros Cons of Yamaha EC-06

Pros

  • Stability from the 14-inch alloy wheels
  • Throttle calibration is well-judged
  • Real-world range of over 110 km
  • The solidly put-together body
  • The wide, flat floorboard

Cons

  • A relatively steep price
  • Reduction of underseat storage
  • No advanced on-screen map navigation
  • The charging time is extremely long
  • The display is not premium

Verdict

By partnering with River, Yamaha bypassed years of ground-up development with the EC-06. The manufacturer took an already established utility scooter and polished it further so that it meets global standards. Admittedly, it is not the fastest scooter in its segment, nor is it the most technologically advanced. It also loses out on the massive storage space and demands a steep premium for the Yamaha badge. However, in return, it offers stable rides, a well-calibrated throttle response, and the ability to navigate past broken roads with its 14-inch wheels.

As Amaan summarises,

“It is unrivalled in the fact that it gets a 14-inch wheel at both ends, which no one among Bajaj, TVS, Ather, Hero MotoCorp, Honda and Suzuki currently offers.”
