Road presence. There’s nothing like the Aerox on the road. And therefore, it draws glances from men and women, children and seniors alike. It’s not just a conversation starter but also elevates your social standing. You become the Ntorq rider’s envy and a middle-aged man's hero when you roll in on this Yamaha.
Seating ergos. Most scooters choose low seat height and flat seating to boost practicality and accessibility. But it affects the seating ergos as a result. The Aerox is different. And therefore, it's upright seating, stepped seat, and largish seat-floorboard height difference make for comfortable seating egos. Now whether you are spending an hour commuting or a couple of hours on an intercity run, it won’t leave you with aching limbs or bottom.
Performance. A 155cc, liquid-cooled engine. Output figures of almost 15bhp and 14Nm. So, performance is sort of a given. But, if you have been used to traditional scooters, even the quicker ones like the Ntorq, riding the Aerox feels sensational. And even after six months of riding it, it still feels quick and exciting every time I open the throttle with intent.
Fuel efficiency. A fuel efficiency figure of around 40kmpl isn’t great when one considers traditional scooters. But 40 is still a good number when you bring Aerox’s performance into the mix. For us, giving up 10kmpl for many folds increase in riding fun is a fair trade.
Underseat storage. A full-face modular helmet. Or your riding gear, complete with boots. Or just your office bag with the laptop, coffee tumbler, and an elaborate lunch box. Throw what you will at the underseat storage, and it gobbles it up. You can’t, of course, throw a microwave or copier machine at it, but you get the picture. As a result, it makes for a wonderfully convenient city runabout.
