Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to new or casual riders looking for a fun, low-stakes small-displacement scooter, though this listed power figure of 2.68 hp seems unusually low even for a 50cc and may reflect a data or unit error rather than a true reflection of the Aerox's perfo
PurposeDesigned as a lightweight, sporty commuter scooter for short urban and suburban hops rather than any kind of performance or distance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low-effort to handle at a stop or in traffic, with a seat height and slim chassis that suit most rider heights and builds.
CharacterA peppy, sporty-styled 50cc scooter with WGP racing graphics that's more about fun looks and nimble city manners than outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway riding, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger any real distance, or riders wanting genuine acceleration or power.

2012 Yamaha Aerox WGP 50th Anniversary 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 2012 Yamaha Aerox WGP 50th Anniversary, 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.
