Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly little scooter, ideal for new riders or those just wanting simple, low-stakes transport.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts light weight and low seat height make it very easy to manage for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA humble, unassuming 50cc automatic scooter that prioritizes practicality and ease of use over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for anyone seeking highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or a passenger-friendly ride.

2011 Yamaha Slider Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 787mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Yamaha Slider, 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.
