If it's positioned above the Aerox, the price is probably going up to match.

Exciting news that a true contender is coming to the fiercely competitive premium scooter segment.

Even sharing a platform, having this many differences shows real effort put into development.

If the NMax comes to India, the in-house competition with the Aerox 155 is something to watch too.
