Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a purpose-built first motorcycle for very young children, typically ages 3-7, with no prior riding experience required.
PurposeIt exists purely to teach small kids the basics of balance, throttle control, and machine awareness in a controlled, low-speed setting.
Rider FitIts tiny 18.7-inch seat height, 90 lb weight, and automatic gearbox mean it demands minimal strength or skill, just small hands and feet that can reach the controls.
CharacterIt has a friendly, non-intimidating, toy-like personality with a simple air-cooled two-stroke engine and a shaft final drive for low maintenance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for teenagers, adults, highway use, real off-road trails, or anyone expecting meaningful speed or long-distance capability.

2010 Yamaha PW50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 485mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Yamaha PW50, with a cramped knee angle of around 40 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.
