The scooter features a comfortable seating position, spacious footboard and practical underseat storage. Yamaha has also focused on improving weight distribution by positioning the battery and electric motor close to the centre of the vehicle.

The Yamaha NMAX E uses a newly developed compact eAxle power unit. Its electric motor produces a maximum output of 7.5kW and 33.3Nm of torque.

The scooter gets a fixed 3.5kWh lithium-ion battery that offers a claimed riding range of 104km under the WMTC testing cycle.
