Rider Profile

Best For	This is an ideal machine for absolute beginners or anyone who just needs simple, low-stakes transportation.
Purpose	Built purely for short-hop urban commuting, running errands, and weaving through congested city streets.
Rider Fit	Its tiny size, low seat height, and featherweight 84kg build make it accessible and unintimidating for riders of almost any stature.
Character	A cheerful, no-fuss economy scooter that prioritizes fuel efficiency and easy handling over any kind of performance.
Not Ideal For	This is not the machine for highway travel, carrying a passenger any real distance, or anyone seeking speed or excitement.

2016 Yamaha Jog Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 725mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Yamaha Jog, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
