Yamaha has just released the all-new 2026 NMAX 155 Tech MAX. This isn’t your average scooter update; it’s a serious leap forward. Blending sharp looks, clever tech, and that unmistakable MAX attitude, the new NMAX 155 Tech MAX brings genuine performance and premium features to everyday riding. It’s built for those who want a scooter that’s as fun and capable as it is practical.
New innovative technology
The new NMAX 155 Tech MAX uses Yamaha’s groundbreaking YECVT (Yamaha Electric Continuously Variable Transmission), a first for the brand’s scooter range.
What’s really clever is that with the flick of a switch, riders can choose between Sport and Town modes, instantly changing how the scooter responds. Sport mode sharpens acceleration and keeps the engine spinning higher for that quick, punchy feel riders crave. In contrast, Town mode tones things down for smoother, more relaxed cruising around traffic.
And for those looking for an extra hit of excitement, the brand new Downshift function kicks in when you stab the throttle or tap the shift button, delivering a burst of acceleration or added engine braking. It’s the kind of control you usually only get on a motorcycle, and now it’s on a scooter.
Power and Efficiency in One
Under the bodywork sits Yamaha’s proven 155cc Blue Core EURO5+ engine, now refined for more efficiency and lower emissions. A new crankshaft, improved intake and exhaust, and reduced internal friction all contribute to stronger, smoother performance. The result is a lively ride that’s also impressively economical.
Premium Feel, Everyday Comfort
The NMAX 155 Tech MAX might be compact, but Yamaha clearly didn’t cut corners on comfort. The frame offers the perfect balance of rigidity and flex, whereas the suspension setup: telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks with reservoirs, soaks up city bumps with ease.
Add in 13-inch lightweight alloy wheels, ABS-equipped 230mm disc brakes, and a low centre of gravity, and you’ve got a scooter that’s as stable and confident in traffic as it is playful on twisty backroads.
MAX Style
Taking just a step back, you can clearly see the MAX family DNA in this machine. The NMAX 155 Tech MAX carries Yamaha’s iconic Boomerang side panels, short overhangs, and a bold, vertical front fairing that gives it a muscular, premium appearance.
We additionally have a leather-style seat with gold stitching, subtle Tech MAX badging, and also full LED lighting complete the look. You could even go as far as to say it makes t one of the best-looking scooters on the street.
Scooter Technology
A crisp 4.2-inch full-colour TFT display sits up front, complete with Garmin Navigation and smartphone connectivity through Yamaha’s MyRide app. Riders can check notifications, listen to music, take calls, and track ride stats easily from the saddle.
The MyRide app also lets you log trips, monitor performance, and share your rides online. It’s like having a digital riding assistant, except built into your scooter.
Designed for Real Life
Yamaha knows city riders need practicality as much as performance, so the NMAX 155 Tech MAX delivers both.
There’s roomy underseat storage for a helmet or shopping, two front compartments (one with a USB-C charger), and a Smart Key system for keyless ignition.
Every light on the scooter is LED, and Yamaha’s Start & Stop system saves fuel at red lights by automatically shutting off and restarting the engine
Colours & Accessories
The 2026 NMAX 155 Tech MAX comes in two exclusive finishes: Crystal Graphite and Midnight Black, both of which highlight the scooter’s sporty lines. Availability across Europe starts in Q1 2026, and local pricing will be confirmed.
Yamaha’s wide range of Genuine Accessories lets riders tailor their Tech MAX to their lifestyle, from extra luggage and comfort upgrades to screens and styling parts.
Conclusion
The 2026 Yamaha NMAX 155 Tech MAX isn’t just a scooter; it’s a glimpse into the future of urban mobility. Its electric-inspired transmission, connected tech, and premium build quality bring big-bike sophistication to the A1 licence class.
The new NMAX 155 Tech MAX proves that commuting can be exciting, fast, stylish, and more innovative than ever.
