Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for absolute beginners or new riders who want a simple, low-risk introduction to two wheels.
PurposeBuilt purely for short, low-speed urban errands and easy commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low, so it suits smaller or less physically strong riders, including teens and first-time scooter users.
CharacterA friendly, unintimidating little runabout with modest power that prioritizes ease of use over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or riders seeking any real speed or power.

2016 Yamaha Bws Easy 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 2016 Yamaha Bws Easy, 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.
