Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with at least a bit of experience on larger scooters, as the TMAX's weight and performance exceed typical beginner machines.
PurposeDesigned as a premium maxi-scooter blending sporty performance with effortless automatic convenience for urban commuting and light touring.
Rider FitThe 800mm seat height and 219kg weight are manageable for most adult riders, though the mass is noticeable at low-speed maneuvering and standstill.
CharacterA sporty, upmarket maxi-scooter that feels more like a performance motorcycle in scooter form, with sharp handling and strong midrange punch.
Not Ideal ForNot a fit for riders seeking off-road capability or those wanting a manual gearbox and traditional motorcycle riding position.

2015 Yamaha TMAX Special Version 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 2015 Yamaha TMAX Special Version, 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.
