Yamaha's River Indie-Based Scooter Snapped Testing
Yamaha has been planning to diversify its electric two-wheeler offering in the country. Recently, it was in the news that Yamaha is working to bring a new electric scooter based on the River Indie, which is codenamed RY01. Now, the Yamaha electric scooter is in the final stages of development as it has been spotted testing in Bangalore. Here is what you can expect from the upcoming Yamaha electric scooter.
Yamaha Electric Scooter: Battery Expected
The brand has been tight-lipped about its recent development in powering its electric scooter. However, it is expected to get the same battery pack options as offered by River Indie. It is likely to get a 4.5 kW battery pack along with a 6.7 kW battery as an option.
Yamaha Electric Scooter: Design Expected
The River Indie-based, Yamaha electric scooter has been snapped testing in Bangalore in a camouflaged avatar. However, it does reveal a few of the design highlights that the electric two-wheeler gets. The Yamaha electric scooter gets higher mounted tail lamps (as compared to the River Indie) and redesigned side panels. The rear wheel is exposed along with the rear suspension unit, that gives it a clean look.
While the upcoming electric scooter is based on the River Indie, Yamaha has done some rework to make it look distinctive. The front fascia gets vertically oriented headlamps, from the test mule, it is also evident that the Yamaha electric scooter will ditch the side body work under the seats, as seen in the River Indie scooter.
Yamaha Electric Scooter: Price Expected
The upcoming Yamaha electric scooter is expected to be priced around the Rs 1.45 lakh - Rs 1.50 lakh price bracket. Upon its launch, it will rival the likes of TVS iQube, Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak, Hero Vida V1 and the soon-to-be-launched Suzuki e-Access.

Pune Airport beats own record with 212 flight ops in single day
On Sunday, June 1, Pune Airport set a new record of handling a total 212 flight operations in a single day, outdoing its own previous record of handling 208 flight operations in a single day on January 12 this year. This landmark figure included 106 departures and 106 arrivals, with over 36,000 passengers passing through the airport in a single day as they headed to both domestic and international destinations. Airport director Santosh Dhoke expressed enthusiasm over the development saying, 'The overall flight operations on Sunday were executed smoothly. This is a very positive sign for us, indicating the steady growth of air traffic movement at Pune Airport. It is the highest number of flight movements recorded in a single day in our history, and it reflects the growing connectivity and demand among passengers. With 35 domestic and three international destinations currently linked to Pune - including two flights to Dubai, two to Bangkok, and one to Singapore, the city is becoming a significant aviation hub.' Dhoke emphasised that the operations were conducted efficiently without any major issues or delays, contributing to a seamless travel experience for passengers. 'There was no hassle and no operational constraints, and flight delays were minimal. We are optimistic that this number will continue to rise in the near future, especially as more destinations get connected and the frequency of flights increases,' he said. According to information shared by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) Pune, the flight operations were conducted smoothly throughout the day from the Lohegaon-based Pune Airport. A total of 212 flights operated to and from 35 domestic and three international destinations. Of these, 106 flights arrived in Pune from major cities such as Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, and others, bringing in more than 18,000 passengers. The remaining 106 flights departed to various locations, carrying over 18,000 passengers to their respective destinations in India and abroad. Rohit Varma, an information technology (IT) professional and frequent flyer headed to Bengaluru, said, 'I travel frequently for work, and I've seen how Pune Airport has evolved over the past few years. But what I experienced on Sunday was truly impressive. Despite the large number of flights, the check-in process was smooth, security lines were well managed, and there were no delays. It was surprising to see so many flights operating seamlessly in one day. The addition of more destinations and international connections like Dubai and Singapore is a big plus for business travellers like me. It saves time and eliminates the need to travel to Mumbai for certain flights. Pune is definitely stepping up as a major travel hub.'
