Feedback from the brakes was consistent, even under heavy braking for accurate inputs.

The under-seat storage on the 2021 Yamaha Nmax 155 ABS is sufficient for a 3/4 helmet with room to spare. The seat had some trouble closing with larger full-face helmets and accessories like Bluetooth communications needed to be taken off.

Bigger riders however will find that the factory seat could have been provided with a little more foam.

The same bigger riders mentioned previously would be glad to find, that true to its maxi-scooter design, the 2021 Yamaha Nmax 155 ABS is spacious. Even with its visually small looking seat it does not feel cramped and has extended floorboards for a foot forward position that is comfy enough for an almost kickback, riding position.

Yamaha fitted the 2021 Yamaha Nmax 155 ABS with a charging socket in the open glove compartment under the steering, although the second glove compartment with its weatherproof lid might be a tad tight for large items, say the latest iPhone.

The only question left for this practical, cost effective commuter would simply be, “Why were the signal lamps not equipped with LEDs too?”
