The 2012 Yamaha PW50 is a very nice bike suitable for kids of all ages as they learn how to ride. The 499cc air-cooled 2-stroke engine has been tuned to deliver as much torque as possible, thus being perfect for learning, as speed is of a smaller concern.
The throttle stop screw lets the adults regulate the max gas the little riders can pump in the PW50 and the single-speed automatic transmission keep the needed skill level to a minimum: this bike is a real twist-and-go machine.
Maintenance is also a breeze with the shaft final drive and autolube oil injection system eliminating the need to premix oil and fuel. Finally, the mag-style wheels mean no spoke adjustment and of course, no broken spokes to be replaced.
