Yamaha will launch the AEROX ABS, a sport scooter in the light motorcycle class, on August 31, 2026, priced at ¥481,800. It pairs a 155cc water-cooled single-cylinder engine with the electronically controlled CVT "YECVT," which lets riders manually downshift up to three stages. It also features a 4.2-inch TFT display, smart key, and about 24.5 liters of underseat storage.

Easy, convenient, fast — the classic scooter trio — and now they've thrown 'the fun of shifting yourself' on top of it too. A YECVT that lets you downshift through 3 steps? I wish I could tell my old JOG-riding self about this. 155cc, VVA, ABS, a 24.5L under-seat box, all for 480,000 yen. From commuting to a quick weekend trip, I don't think there's anywhere this one bike can't take you.

Old scooters never had this kind of electronic control, times sure have changed.

TFT plus even a smart key on a 155, loaded with equipment, I want it.

24.5L under the seat is strong. If a full-face fits in there, this dominates as a commuter.

How's YECVT different from a regular scooter's transmission?

It's the kind that simulates stepped gear changes through a CVT, letting you use engine braking.

¥481,800 for a 155 is pretty pricey, probably from loading on YECVT and the TFT though.

Is there really a scenario where you'd need a 3-stage manual downshift on a scooter?
