The Yamaha Mio Soul i 125 has a sleek and athletic stance, which is coupled by the unique styling cues, especially at the front. The petite LED headlamp mounted on the front apron make the Mio Soul i 125 very edgy and give it a futuristic appeal

Thanks to its light-weighted character, the Yamaha Mio Soul i 125 feels very friendly and energetic to ride, especially for new-age riders who are new to riding. The kerb weight of just 96kgs is quite helpful for new riders.

The Yamaha Mio Soul i 125 sources its power from a four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected, 125cc engine, which produces a maximum power output of 9.5PS and a peak torque output of 9.6Nm. Considering the low kerb weight of 96kgs, the Mio Soul i 125 feels energetic to ride with impressive power delivery.

Things we don't like

Questionable build quality and reliability

Cramped for taller riders

While the entry-level positioning of the Yamaha Mio Soul i 125 do justify its lack of features, it should have come with a couple of standout features to lift up its appeal as a more value for money offering.

The slim tires of the Yamaha Mio Soul i 125 do aid in making the scooter an agile handler. However, these tires do curb the overall appeal of the Mio Soul i 125, which otherwise is a sharp looking scooter.

While the LED headlamps do give the Yamaha Mio Soul i 125 a nice and premium feel-good factor, the throw of the light, especially in darkest of the conditions isn’t as great as one would expect it to be.
