The widespread price increase is not only affecting automobiles. Yamaha proves this once again by significantly raising the price of their NEO’S.
From €3,199 in 2022 to €3,599 in 2023: the prices of the NEO’S are increasing by €400 at the start of this year. Yamaha’s 50 cc electric scooter now falls within the higher range of its segment. For comparison, the Niu NQi Sport starts at €2,999, while the Piaggio 1 is sold from €3,399. All these prices are given without the national ecological bonus (approximately €250 on Yamaha), which varies depending on the motor power and battery capacity.
The Yamaha NEO’S is equipped with a 2.3 kW motor, directly integrated into the rear wheel. This configuration, common on small electric scooters, eliminates the need for a belt and thus simplifies maintenance. The battery is removable and weighs about 8 kilograms. Its low capacity (less than 1 kWh) directly impacts the range, which is estimated at 37 km (WTTC cycle). A relatively low figure, which can be doubled with an additional second battery costing €1,299. Recharging is done via a standard household outlet, taking about 8 hours. Four hours are enough to go from 20% to 80% charge.
Hundreds of Yamaha NEO’S available for free access in Paris
In Paris, those considering purchasing a NEO’S can get an initial idea by using Troopy’s service. This is the model the operator has chosen to compete with Cityscoot, Yego, and Cooltra. Troopy has also launched electric Yamaha equivalents of the 125cc model (the EO1). Unlike the NEO’S, this model is not yet available for individual purchase.
