Overview
The Yamaha C3 is a scooter produced from 2007 to 2013. The 2013 model uses a 49.0 cm³, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine rated at 5.4 hp (4 kW), with a dry weight of 89.8 kg.
Its 734 mm seat height and low 89.8 kg dry weight make it easier to manage at stops and at low speeds. The automatic transmission and centrifugal clutch handle gear changes for you, while fuel injection and a stated fuel consumption of 2.10 liters/100 km accompany an estimated 214 km range from the 4.50-liter tank. Both wheels use drum brakes, and 114 mm of ground clearance leaves limited room over high obstacles.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Lightweight
At 89.8 kg dry, the C3 is easier to maneuver and balance at low speeds than a heavier scooter.
Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission and centrifugal clutch remove the need to operate a manual clutch or shift gears.
Low fuel consumption
Consumption of 2.10 liters/100 km pairs with an estimated 214 km range on a full tank.
Things to consider
Drum brakes at both ends
The front and rear use drum brakes, rather than disc brakes.
Limited ground clearance
The 114 mm ground clearance leaves little space for clearing high obstacles.

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.
