Overview

The Yamaha Aerox R is a scooter produced from 2007 through 2016. The 2016 model has a 49.2 cm³ liquid-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke engine producing 3.3 hp (2.5 kW) and 3.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm; wet weight is 97 kg.

An automatic transmission and belt final drive keep riding simple, while the 815 mm seat is 13 mm lower than on the 2015 model, helping riders reach the ground more easily. The 7-liter tank carries a limited amount of fuel, and under-seat storage fits a full-face helmet. Electric and kick starters provide two ways to start the scooter.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Helmet storage
The under-seat compartment fits a full-face helmet, so it can be carried without a separate bag.
Light wet weight
At 97 kg wet, the scooter is easy to maneuver at low speeds and when parking.
Two starting options
Electric and kick starting give you an alternative if the electric starter cannot start the engine.

Things to consider

Tall seat for some riders
The 815 mm seat height may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down.

How to measure

Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
