Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for absolute beginners or anyone who simply wants twist-and-go, low-stress transportation with no gears to worry about.
PurposeIt's built purely for short, low-speed urban commuting and errands, not for any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 56 kg dry weight and low seat height make it extremely easy and unintimidating to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterThe EC-03 is a quiet, clean, minimalist electric city scooter with a friendly, appliance-like personality rather than a sporty one.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited to riders wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger, or any off-road capability.

2016 Yamaha EC-03 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 745mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Yamaha EC-03, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 degrees and an upright 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.
