German tuner Mansory has unveiled a new **Mega Scooter based on the Yamaha T-MAX 560**, turning the popular maxi-scooter into a carbon-clad, turquoise showpiece for ultra-wealthy riders.
What Mansory has done
- The project starts with a Yamaha T-MAX 560 and keeps its 562cc parallel-twin, liquid‑cooled DOHC 4‑valve per cylinder engine, rated at 48 bhp and 55.7 Nm, paired with a CVT gearbox. - Visual changes are extreme: a reworked front fascia with larger air intakes that resemble ‘nostrils’, flared winglets inspired by hypercars and unique Mansory badges. - The scooter gets carbon fibre elements, new quilted leather seat upholstery with Turquoise stitching, plus Turquoise highlights on the body panels and even the engine. - Mansory is offering conversion kits so an existing T-MAX 560 can be turned into a Mega Scooter, but pricing is on request only and aimed at buyers who are not sensitive to cost.
Nepal angle
The Yamaha TMAX 560 is already sold in Nepal as one of the country’s most expensive and feature‑loaded maxi-scooters, positioned above more common 150–160 cc scooters in both size and price (around Rs 34.99 lakh as per recent listings).
For now, Mansory has not announced any official sales channel or price for Nepal, and the Mega Scooter is effectively a bespoke import for a handful of international clients. However, the project shows how far big-scooter customisation can go: wealthy Nepali owners of the TMAX 560 who frequently import aftermarket parts on their own could, in theory, commission similar high-end kits through personal import, though duties and approval would make it even more expensive.
For regular Nepali buyers, this development won’t change TMAX 560 pricing or availability in the near term. But it does highlight that maxi-scooters have become aspirational enough globally for supercar tuners to take notice, a trend that could slowly influence the kind of accessories and premium trims that officially reach our market in future.
