Overview
The Yamaha TT-R 50E is a minibike from the TT-R family, produced from 2013 through 2015. The 2015 model has a 49.0 cm³, air-cooled, four-stroke single and weighs 57.2 kg wet.
Its 556 mm seat height and 57.2 kg wet weight make it compact and easier to maneuver at low speeds. The automatic centrifugal clutch handles clutch engagement while the rider shifts through the manual 3-speed gearbox; electric starting avoids the need for a kick-start routine. Ground clearance is 135 mm, and the 3.10-liter tank means fuel stops come more often than with a larger tank.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low seat
The 556 mm seat height makes mounting and getting settled on the bike easier.
Light weight
At 57.2 kg wet, the TT-R 50E is easier to maneuver at low speeds than a heavier motorcycle.
Automatic clutch
The centrifugal clutch takes clutch-lever operation out of shifting through the 3-speed gearbox.
Things to consider
Small fuel tank
The 3.10-liter tank leaves less fuel aboard, so refueling comes around sooner.
Drum brakes
Both wheels use 80 mm drum brakes, rather than disc brakes.

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.
