Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least a bit of two-wheel experience, as the big-wheeled maxi-scooter format is easy to learn but rewards familiarity with scooter dynamics.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a fast, comfortable urban and commuting machine that can also handle occasional longer rides.
Rider FitThe low seat height and automatic transmission make it accessible, though its 205 kg dry weight demands some confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA sporty, torquey maxi-scooter that blends car-like convenience with genuinely engaging performance and stable handling.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to off-road use or riders seeking a lightweight, minimalist machine, given its scooter format and lack of any off-road capability.

2006 Yamaha TMAX /a Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 795mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Yamaha TMAX /a, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
