Yamaha MIO 125 Launched 2025:Yamaha has taken the scooter market by storm with the launch of the world’s first geared scooter, the MIO 125. It offers a wonderful blend of motorcycle-like controls and scooter-like convenience. With a great mileage of 72 kmpl and affordable EMIs starting at just ₹2,790, this scooter is all set to redefine the way people commute in India and around the world.
A Revolutionary Concept in Two-Wheelers
The Yamaha MIO 125 is unlike any scooter you’ve seen before. While conventional scooters rely on a CVT automatic transmission, the MIO 125 features a manual gearbox—something that has never been done before in a mainstream scooter. This gives riders more control over speed and power like a motorcycle, while retaining the step-through design and storage facilities of a scooter.
This unique concept aims to bring both aspects together: the comfort and practicality of a scooter, with the thrill and control of a geared bike.
Attractive and Sporty Design
Yamaha has always been known for its stylish designs, and the MIO 125 is no exception. Its aerodynamic bodywork, sharp LED headlamp, sporty side panels and bold graphics give it a fresh and modern look. The scooter’s compact yet aggressive stance makes it a perfect fit in city traffic, and grabs attention wherever it goes.
The seats are comfortable and padded, offering a comfortable riding position for both the rider and pillion. The under-seat storage is large enough to hold a helmet or other everyday essentials, and the scooter also features a glove box at the front and a USB charging port for added convenience.
Powerful and Fuel-Efficient Engine
The Yamaha MIO 125 features a 124cc fuel-injected engine that is tuned for both performance and efficiency. Thanks to its geared transmission, it offers better power and acceleration than regular scooters. Despite its blazing performance, the MIO 125 is designed to deliver an impressive mileage of 72 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient two-wheelers in the market.
The geared setup ensures greater durability and lower maintenance in the long run, and Yamaha hopes that it will appeal to both budget-conscious riders and enthusiasts.
Smart Features for Modern Riders
The Yamaha MIO 125 is not just limited to performance and innovation—it is packed with smart features. Its fully digital instrument cluster shows speed, gear position, fuel efficiency, trip meter, and even maintenance reminders. The scooter also features LED lighting all around for better visibility and a modern look.
For safety, it has front disc brakes with ABS, which ensure stable braking even on slippery roads. The suspension setup—telescopic forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear—offers a balance between comfort and precise handling.
Affordable for all
With EMIs starting at just ₹2,790, the MIO 125 is within the reach of many buyers. Yamaha has priced it competitively to appeal not only to young riders but also to daily commuters who want a reliable, stylish and efficient vehicle. Its low running costs and excellent mileage make it an ideal choice for students, office goers and even delivery boys.
Why the MIO 125 is a Game-Changer
By introducing the world’s first geared scooter, Yamaha has opened up an entirely new segment in the two-wheeler market. It offers motorcycle-like control and engagement without compromising on the everyday practicality of a scooter. Its combination of style, performance, fuel economy and affordable pricing makes it stand out in a crowded market.
For those who want something unique and practical, the Yamaha MIO 125 is not just another scooter—it’s the future of urban commuting.
