To say that Yamaha has been busy this week would be somewhat of an understatement. It just unveiled its newest adventure scooters—two entirely new models—the RW700 and RW350. Now, barely a day later, it has launched its new fully electric offering: the Yamaha NMax E.
The electric scooter took center stage at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori (EICMA), debuting its new electrified powertrain. The NMax E packs an eAxle power unit with a belt drive propelling the rear wheel, paired with a 3.5kWh lithium-ion battery. Peak power is rated at 10hp at 3,500rpm and 33.3Nm at 500rpm.
The Yamaha NMax e has an estimated maximum range of 104km, which should be more than enough for riding in the city. It gets an on-board charger and can be plugged either into a power outlet or with a Type 2 charger. With the former, getting from zero to 100% should take 5hr30min.

As far as the design goes, it doesn’t stray too far from the ‘regular’ gasoline-powered NMax Tech Max. The NMax E retains its signature silhouette, albeit with more chiseled, sharper-looking fairings below the seat. The Yamaha badges by the stepboards also feature a bright blue to match the ‘E’ at the rear. The headlights look slightly different with the boxy lamps, while the taillights match the said look.
Curb weight is listed at 121kg without the battery, while seat height is at 770mm or 30.3 inches and ground clearance at 135mm. Apart from the instant torque it delivers, the NMax E should offer a familiar riding experience. Disc brakes are available up front and at the rear, and ABS is available. The scooter is equipped with traction control and has three selectable ride modes as well.
The NMax E boasts a new five-inch digital instrument cluster with a different layout from that of the NMax Tech Max. The head unit features smartphone connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation available.
So, what do you guys think? Should Yamaha Motor Philippines bring this over? If so, how much do you think this should be priced?
