Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly scooter suited to new riders or anyone wanting simple, low-stakes transportation.
PurposeIt's built for short urban hops, errands, and commuting rather than any performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts light weight and low seat height make it easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterIt has a cheerful, no-drama personality focused on convenience and easy maneuverability rather than excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for riders seeking speed, highway touring, or off-road capability.

2007 Yamaha Bws 12INCH Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 768mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Yamaha Bws 12INCH, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
