The Yamaha EC-06 is based on the same platform as the River Indie electric scooter, developed by Bengaluru-based River Mobility. While the underpinnings are shared, Yamaha has given the EC-06 a distinct visual identity. It adopts a sharper, more angular design with triangular side panels, a sculpted front apron and a blacked-out upper section housing a stacked headlight. Some elements, such as the protruding headlight layout, are carried over from the Indie. The EC-06 will be offered in a single blue and white paint option.

Powering the EC-06 is a 4 kWh battery paired with an electric motor producing 6.7 kW of peak power and 26 Nm torque, enabling a claimed top speed of 79 kmph. Yamaha claims a certified range of 169 km, which is marginally higher than that of the River Indie. A 3-year or 30,000 km warranty backs the battery and can be charged using a standard household socket. Yamaha states that an 80 per cent charge can be achieved in approximately eight hours, while a complete charge takes close to 10 hours.

In terms of features, the EC-06 closely mirrors its River sibling, offering a colour LCD, three riding modes (Eco, Standard, and Power) and reverse assist. On the practicality front, the EC-06 offers 24.5 litres of underseat storage, compared to the Indie’s larger 43-litre compartment. Yamaha has also skipped a front storage box, offering only a charging port in that space.

At Rs 1.68 lakh, the Yamaha EC-06 is priced nearly Rs 22,000 higher than the River Indie on which it is based. As for its rivals, the EC-06 goes up against models such as the Ola S1, Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube.
