A KEY FOB IS A COMMON THING AMONG CARS, but not so common among internal-combustion engine (ICE) two-wheelers. Yamaha have introduced the “Smart Key”, a key fob with various features, with their maxiscooter, the Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S.

First, the Smart Key is equipped with a lock/unlock button, allowing the user to lock and unlock this maxi-scooter without physically touching it. A long press will lock or unlock it. Instead of manually inserting the key into the slot, there is a knob which, when rotated, will unlock the handlebar and, further, turn on the instrument cluster. Under-seat storage can be accessed by pressing the “Seat” button located beside the knob. It would have been even more convenient if the key fob had an under-seat storage unlock button, too.
