Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a learner-friendly 50cc scooter suited to new riders or those with a moped licence, not experienced riders seeking performance.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands around town rather than any kind of speed or distance work.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light weight, and automatic transmission make it very easy to manage for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA nimble, low-powered city scooter that prioritizes easy handling and practicality over excitement or muscle.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring, off-road use, or carrying a passenger comfortably.

2008 Yamaha Aerox R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 828mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 Yamaha Aerox R, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
