Yamaha Aerox S 155 – What’s Special?
The all-new Yamaha Aerox S comes with a smartkey fob-like car, which enables keyless ignition and an answer-back function. Thanks to the proximity sensor, the former permits you to start the scooter just by walking near it, eliminating the hassle of manual key insertion, while the latter allows you to find your Aerox in crowded areas with the click of a button.
