Yamaha has pulled the covers off multiple new scooters at EICMA 2026, with the line-up spanning urban electric commuters and full-fledged adventure scooters. The five-scooter range includes the electric Xenter E and NMax E, along with three adventure scooters – the RW700, RW700 Explore and RW350.
- Xenter E and NMax E share a 7.5kW electric motor and a 3.5kWh battery
- RW700 and RW700 Explore use the 690cc CP2 engine, also seen on the Ténéré 700 and R7
- RW350 gets an all-new 330cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine

Yamaha says the e-scooters will go on sale in spring 2027
Leading the charge are two electric models, the Xenter E and NMax E. Yamaha says both are 125cc-equivalent and share a 7.5kW motor producing 33.3Nm, along with a 3.5kWh battery pack. The Xenter E has a claimed WMTC range of 108km, while the NMax E is rated at 104km. Both use an 800W on-board charger, which takes 5.5 hours to fully charge the battery.
The Xenter E uses a lightweight underbone frame and rides on 16-inch wheels at both ends. Its suspension offers 100mm of travel at the front and 97mm at the rear. Features include a reverse function, smart key and a 5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity. The display supports turn-by-turn navigation and shows battery status, service schedule and parking location.
The NMax E, meanwhile, has a more familiar design, similar to that of the petrol-powered NMax scooters, and rides on 13-inch wheels. It gets the same 5-inch TFT display, three ride modes, traction control, reverse function and smart key as the Xenter E.

The RW700 scooters get the CP2 engine and Y-AMT transmission
Both RW700 models use the 690cc CP2 engine, which Yamaha also employs in several of its other middleweight models, including the Ténéré 700, MT-07 and R7. However, Yamaha has not revealed peak output figures. For reference, the engine produces 73.4hp and 68Nm in the Ténéré 700. It is paired with a version of Yamaha’s Y-AMT gearbox, which allows riders to change gears without a clutch lever or gearshift pedal. Gear changes can be made using a seesaw switch on the handlebar, or riders can leave the transmission in fully automatic mode.
The chassis comprises a backbone-type steel frame suspended on a 41mm USD fork with 160mm of travel and a monoshock with 155mm of travel.
The RW700 gets a six-axis IMU that manages traction control, slide control, brake control and a back-slip regulator, which controls engine torque when the rear wheel locks up. It rides on 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels, with aluminium rims and stainless-steel cross-spokes shod in Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres. The RW700 has 170mm of ground clearance, an 810mm seat height and a wet weight of 221kg.
The RW700 Explore gets all the features of the RW700, along with a front fork with preload and rebound damping adjustment, heated grips, a heated rider’s seat, a centre stand and backlit switchgear.
The smallest model in the range is the RW350, powered by an all-new 330cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine paired with a CVT. It gets three ride modes – Street, Explore and Eco – which alter power delivery and traction control. Features include a 5-inch TFT display, smart key ignition, LED lighting and self-cancelling indicators.
The RW350 has a 37mm USD fork with 140mm of travel and twin rear shocks with 105mm of travel. It rides on a 16-inch front and 14-inch rear wheel, shod with Dunlop D615 block-pattern tyres.
