Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders who already hold a motorcycle license and have some experience with big-wheeled maxi-scooters, since the size and weight reward familiarity with two-wheeled machines rather than true beginners.
PurposeBuilt as a premium maxi-scooter for effortless commuting and confident cross-town or highway riding, blending automatic convenience with genuine performance.
Rider FitA seat height of 800mm and a substantial curb weight around 222kg mean shorter or lighter riders will want to be comfortable managing its heft at low speed and standstill.
CharacterA premium, sporty-styled maxi-scooter with a punchy parallel-twin, automatic belt drive, and upscale trim like golden stitching, appealing to riders who want scooter ease with real road presence.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for anyone seeking off-road capability, trackday thrills, or a lightweight, minimalist commuter.

2013 Yamaha TMAX Black Max Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Yamaha TMAX Black Max, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
