Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the specifications provided are for a Yamaha NMAX 125 scooter, not the Yamaha Niken GT, so this profile actually describes a small-capacity commuter scooter rather than a leaning three-wheel sport-tourer; it is well suited to complete beginners and
PurposeBuilt purely as an efficient, low-cost urban commuter for short trips, errands, and easy city riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light weight make it very accessible to shorter and less physically strong riders.
CharacterA practical, unintimidating automatic scooter that prioritizes ease of use, fuel economy, and convenience over performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders wanting highway touring capability, high speed, passenger comfort over distance, or any off-road use.

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2019 Yamaha Niken GT, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
