Rider FitVery low seat height and light weight make it easy to manage for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA practical, no-frills small-wheel scooter that prioritizes convenience, storage, and easy handling over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or riders seeking any real performance.

2016 Yamaha Vity Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 730mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Yamaha Vity, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
