Expert opinion and recommendation

The Yamaha Alpha UBS, although discontinued in 2020 due to the transition to BS6 emission norms, was a solid choice for Indian families seeking a reliable and fuel-efficient scooter. My experience with the Alpha highlights its smooth engine performance, thanks to Yamahas Blue Core technology, which ensures a linear power delivery and adequate stability. The scooters handling is commendable, with telescopic forks at the front and a unit swing suspension at the rear, making it comfortable to ride in various conditions. However, some users have noted drawbacks such as engine vibration and less effective braking, particularly with the disc brake variant. Overall, it was a good option for those prioritizing fuel efficiency, comfort, and practicality, but it lacked the power and advanced features that some competitors offered.

Fuel efficiency information

When it comes to mileage, the Yamaha Alpha UBS is quite impressive. With a claimed fuel efficiency of 62 kmpl, it is one of the most fuel-efficient scooters in its class. In real-world conditions, users have reported mileage ranging from 40 to 50 kmpl, which is still very economical. This makes the Alpha an excellent choice for those concerned about running costs and seeking a scooter that can deliver good mileage on Indian roads.
