PW 50

The smallest Yamaha playbike uses a mild, 2-stroke engine with a simple, single-speed automatic transmission. The 49cc engine is mildly tuned to deliver predictable power that gently eases the new rider up the off-road learning curve. It's equipped with exclusive Autolube oil injection that eliminates the need to premix fuel and oil. A single-speed automatic transmission means rider simply twists the throttle and goes, allowing him/her to concentrate on the ride ahead. While the class-exclusive shaft drive system is virtually maintenance-free and comes fully enclosed for added protection and durability.

The adjustable, handlebar-mounted throttle limiter allows parents or adult supervisors to gradually increase power output as child's skill level improves. Finally, class-lowest 19.1" seat height creates a handling-enhancing bow center-of-gravity and allows most smaller riders to put both feet down for added confidence.
