Yamaha Aerox 155 — India’s First Traction Control System Infused Scooter

The scooter never fails to amaze us. It is light, agile, ideal for women riders, and helps you to get the job completed. Whether it is for those commute runs, school pickups, or even the weekend grocery runs, it can come in handy for us.

And though it looks unconventional and runs on the tech that everyday scooters aren’t even considering yet, forget working on them, it is still a pretty handy tool. But of course, it has its set of shortcomings too.

Below are some reasons why you may consider using the yamaha aerox 155.

Comfort & design

The Aerox 155 has an elegant design and upright seating. When compared to traditional scooters, they come with a low seat height and flat seating. The seating is quite high and ergonomic, and comfortable.

The seat floorboard height sits well, with medium-built people, and tall individuals as well. Whether you are 5’5” or 6’4”, you will not feel the difference. Besides, when you are spending time on long-distance rides, or short drives, it won’t matter to your back.

The Smart Motor Generator system helps you to start the bike silently. There is no need to drive through the gears, hence, the noise is reduced completely. Likewise, it comes with the E20 fuel, which decreases the emissions.

When you are concerned about the pollution levels in your locality, then this scooter can help. Yamaha has updated the Aerox to be compatible with E20 fuel as part of their carbon reduction.

Engine performance

We will take a look at the yamaha aerox specification now. The engine performance is decent and that is due to the liquid-cooled, 4-stroke SOHC, 155 cc, 4-valve engine. This is a fuel-injected engine with VVA.

The torque is quite powerful for a scooter of its calibre. Many users have complimented the ride on the power and torque characteristics. You can feel the power difference when you drive the moped.

This is in comparison to the traditional scooters. You can feel the energy bursting through, each time you raise the accelerator. On the other hand, it is about the control as well. You are provided with extreme feedback on the braking too.

The fuel efficiency is there too with 40km/l. This is a decent figure for city rides. You can just fill it, and forget about it for short drives. When you are planning on using it regularly, then you need to just fill a couple of litres of fuel, and you are good to go.

The automatic stop-start feature is another interesting feature of the bike. It helps your bike to automatically stop the engine, saving fuel. You can restart by twisting the throttle. There is also the SGCU (Starter Generator Control Unit) that can help you check your running conditions and helps you avoid unnecessary engine starts and stops in congested traffic.

Ride Handling

The ride handling of the Yamaha Aerox 155 is much better than the traditional scooters. That is due to the fact that the tyres are quite large and provide you with a good grip. You feel in control when you are driving the scooter around the city & narrow lanes.

As the rider, you can zip around the traffic without worries. The moped is agile and smooth to drive. You can also find that your movement on pot-hole roads is not affected at all. The suspension is good enough.

Even your aged mother or grandmother won’t feel uncomfortable sitting at the back. Besides, you can store your helmet, and other items inside the storage space underneath the seat. The storage space may not be large, but sufficient to place several medium size items in there.

The traction control system is what makes this scooter special. As we said in the title, it is the first traction control system moped in the country. This dedicated electronic system causes no wheel spin which is the main reason for scooters to crash during the wet season.

Then there is the Variable Valve Actuation (VVA), which helps the engine mechanism to feel smooth. This is possible when there are two intake cam lobes. There is one for the low rev range, and the other for the mid- to high rev range.

Should You Buy One

When you are looking for a scooter or moped, that has a decent engine, and offers you with a smooth ride quality, then you will be more than happy with this. Besides, it provides a decent mileage as well.

We may draw your attention to its floorboard. You may not be able to carry bags or keep items in the front because of the raised spine in the middle. This holds the fuel tank of the scooter. Likewise, the rear suspension does not come with a preload adjustment either.

Conclusion

The Yamaha Aerox 155 may not be designed & produced for everyone. When you want to ride around with a properly modern and fun scooter, then the Aerox is a must. You can easily carry your kids, spouse or elderly parents effortlessly for short distances.

The storage space is practical and offers you sufficient space too. However, there are some drawbacks that we have provided you with. You may want to think about them before going ahead with the bike.
