Yamaha NMAX E: 104 km Is 33.65 Wh per km

The Yamaha NMAX E is a sit-down electric scooter Yamaha showed at EICMA, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 bicycle. The English release, datelined Iwata, 4 November 2026, prints two numbers that multiply: a fixed 3.5 kWh lithium-ion battery and 104 km of range in WMTC mode. Three and a half kilowatt-hours is 3,500 watt-hours. Three thousand five hundred divided by 104 is 33.65 watt-hours a kilometer, if that WMTC kilometer happens. One hundred four kilometers is 64.6 miles. Three thousand five hundred divided by 64.6 is about 54.2 watt-hours a mile. The release does not print a price, a top speed, a weight, or a kilowatt.

104 km is the NMAX. 108 km is the other scooter.

The same Yamaha release gives the XENTER E a fixed 3.5 kWh battery and 108 km in WMTC mode. Three thousand five hundred divided by 108 is 32.4 watt-hours a kilometer. One hundred eight minus 104 is 4 kilometers, on the same size of tank, which means the two claims are not the same efficiency sentence and they are not the same scooter. Gazzetta's headline, 3 November, puts 108 kilometers on the NMAX E. The body of that story says 104 km in WMTC1 with the battery at 25°C. Use 104 for the NMAX. Use 108 for the XENTER. Do not publish 106.

3,500 watt-hours divided by 104 km is 33.65 watt-hours a kilometer. The 108 km line is the XENTER E, not a second NMAX test.

7.5 kW is EICMA's sentence

EICMA's page calls the NMAX E a 125 cc equivalent on a new A1 EV platform, with an IPMSM motor in the eAxle, 7.5 kW, and 33.3 Nm. Gazzetta puts the 7.5 kW at 3,500 rpm and the 33.3 Nm at 500 rpm. paultan.org, the same week, prints 10 hp. Seven and a half kilowatts is about 10.1 horsepower. Ten is the rounding. It is not a second motor. BikeWale prints a 6.7 kW nominal next to the 7.5 kW maximum. Yamaha's English release does not print 6.7 or 7.5. Seven and a half divided by 6.7 is 1.12, so the peak would be 12 percent over that nominal if both numbers are real. This desk is not averaging them into 7.1.

Three and a half kilowatt-hours divided by 7.5 kilowatts is 28 minutes, if the motor held 7.5 kW until the pack was empty. A maximum at 3,500 rpm is not that hold. BikeWale also prints 13-inch wheels, a 110/70 front and a 130/70 rear, belt drive, and a claimed 50:50 weight split. Those rows are BikeWale and paultan, not the Iwata release. There is still no curb weight on the pages this desk opened.

5.5 hours is not 800 watts the whole way

EICMA and Gazzetta print an integrated 800-watt charger. Three thousand five hundred watt-hours divided by 800 watts is 4.375 hours, if the brick held 800 watts for the whole fill. Gazzetta's clock is 5.5 hours from empty to full, with the battery at 25°C and the supply at 200 volts. Five and a half minus 4.375 is 1.125 hours. The published clock is longer than a constant 800-watt fill. Eight hundred divided by 200 is 4 amps, if that 200-volt line is what feeds the charger. Gazzetta does not print 4 amps. The port, on paultan, is in the front pocket and speaks AC Type 2, plus a domestic cable. A floor video from the show said the port was DC fast charge and the range was about 100 km. Yamaha's release says an onboard charger for home and for public car stations. It does not print a DC rate. One hundred is not 104.

The pack is fixed. It does not come out like the Honda EM1 e: Mobile Power Pack. EICMA's parenthetical is a 5 kWh option. Five divided by 3.5 is 1.43, so that option would be 43 percent more energy, and Yamaha's 4 November release does not print it. There is no second WMTC number to divide. Do not multiply 104 by 1.43 and call the result a range. The battery page is why a fixed pack and a removable pack are different shopping problems. The charging guide is the 25°C sentence, not permission to read 5.5 hours as a driveway promise.

It is not a bicycle class

Seven and a half kilowatts is 7,500 watts. A US low-speed electric bicycle, on the class chart, is pedals and a motor of less than 750 watts. This scooter has no pedals. EICMA's 125 cc line is a license category, not Class 3. The Segway Max G3 is a standing scooter with a different watt card. The E-Motiv Demo 1 is the other machine at this same show, and it also has no price. Spring 2027 is paultan's European sales line and EICMA's availability line. The Japanese release says a 2027 launch in Japan. Avio Blue and Platinum Silver are EICMA's colors. None of those pages print a euro, a pound, or a dollar.

Who it is for

Wait for a price if the job is a commuter you can put next to a 125. The numbers that exist are a fixed 3.5 kWh pack, 104 km WMTC, and, on the show pages, 7.5 kW and an 800-watt onboard charger that the 5.5-hour clock does not match as a constant. Skip it if you needed a bicycle path: this is a scooter, and the class sticker does not apply. Skip it if you needed the XENTER's 108 km or 16-inch wheels and you were reading a headline that swapped the two. This desk did not ride it.
