Yamaha Aerox 155: The good & bad after 1 week of ownership

This performance scooter is well-designed, offers good ergonomics and comes packed with features, however, it does have its downsides.

BHPian Sebring recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

It's been a week and the scooter has settled down nicely at our household. The Yamaha feels really premium and scores on power and handling.

Positives of the Yamaha Aerox 155:

• Ample power on tap
• Overtaking and city manoeuvres are dream stuff
• Loudest horn in any scooter
• Soft-close side stand
• Fantastic storage space
• Yamaha connect features
• Supremely comfortable seat for long expeditions
• Best tyre spec
• Rearview mirrors are just right
• Light spread is fantastic
• DRL envelopes the front like Kia Seltos (Very classy)
• Auto start-stop works like a charm
• Dedicated buttons for seat and fuel tank
• The riding position is like sitting in a comfy chair, doesn't tire
• The rear LED light looks good and is very bright
• 'Side stand down' kills the engine
• Nice cubbyhole to keep mobile
• Oil cooled engine works well. (No heat level rise warning yet)
• Love the stickers and styling on Monster edition
• Side 'air scoops' are well designed/integrated

Negatives of the Yamaha Aerox 155:

• Flimsy plastic petrol hatch (It is bound to come undone in my hand)
• Integrated rear grip for rear passenger
• The rear passenger seat width is narrow
• The rear passenger sits very high up
• The rear passenger footrest is not comfortable (As per feedback received from my friends)
• The negative display strains the eye sometimes
• The side lock takes some effort to engage
• Mileage is just 30KMPL
• Indicator stalk looks cheap (Rest of the buttons look premium)
• Car-like charging socket needs a charging unit (Should have been direct USB C/USB A)
• Could have had a TFT display with navigation
• The tyre is great for dry surfaces. In wet, it wavered a bit
• 'Grippy tyres' throw every muck on the road to the body
• No accessories on the horizon
• Time reset by itself to display a wrong setting
• I don't like the blue surround around the meter (Should be grey or black, or even carbon fibre)
• Hate the large 'Monster' sticker on the front mudguard (Getting that removed)
• Unresponsive Yamaha Team for any email/tweet/call
