Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for absolute beginners or riders who just want simple, low-stakes transportation without any learning curve.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting, errands, and light neighborhood use rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low-slung, it is easy to handle for smaller or less physically strong riders and simple to muscle around at a stop.
CharacterA humble, unassuming little automatic scooter that prioritizes practicality, fuel efficiency, and ease of use over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, aggressive cornering, or riders seeking any real sense of speed.

2012 Yamaha Vox Deluxe Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 735mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Yamaha Vox Deluxe, 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.
