Features

 

Key Features:

 

  • Fully automatic transmission means no shifting required; the PW50 is a total twist-and-go package.

  • Torque-tuned, spunky little 49cc two-stroke is built to thrill without intimidating beginners.

  • A seat only 19.1 inches high makes this one the logical choice for the littlest rider in the group.

  • An adjustable throttle stop screw lets the adult in charge gradually increase speed as skills improve.

  • Shaft final drive makes chain maintenance a thing of the past.
  •  

    Engine:

     

  • 49cc air-cooled case-reed–inducted two-stroke single is tuned to deliver predictable power that gently eases the new rider up the off-road learning curve.

  • Single-speed automatic transmission means the rider simply twists the throttle and goes, allowing him/her to concentrate on the ride ahead.

  • Class-exclusive shaft drive system is virtually maintenance-free and comes fully enclosed for added durability.

  • Exclusive autolube oil injection system eliminates the need for fuel/oil premixing.
  •  

    Chassis/Suspension:

     

  • 19.1-inch seat height allows most kids to put both feet down for handling-enhancing and added confidence.

  • 22mm telescopic front fork with 2.4 inches of travel smoothes out the bumps for responsive handling.

  • Mag-style wheels mean there’s no need to tighten or replace spokes.

  • Dual rear shocks with 2.0 inches of travel smooth the trail to deliver confidence-inspiring ride quality.

  • Front and rear drum brakes provide smooth, predictable stopping power.

  • 10-inch front and rear knobby tires provide excellent traction and superior wear.

  • Quiet exhaust pipe, complete with removable baffle, is routed away from the rider.

  • Rear fender, seat and side panel unit removes quickly for ease of maintenance.
  •  

    Additional Features:

     

  • A thick seat cushions the trail’s blows and allows maximum rider movement.

  • Team Yamaha-inspired colors, graphics and front and side number plates create styling just like the bigger off-roaders.

  • Large, folding footpegs with rubber grips provide excellent footing.

  • Standard centerstand for added convenience.

  • An adjustable throttle stop screw lets the adult in charge gradually increase speed as skills improve.
  • Test Ride

    I also think that Yamaha has the same design and concept. Pretty boring.

    "Yamaha PW50 unique and make no mistakes there" Aren’t they crazy to put much pressure on these kind of small bike?
