THE 1ST CHOICE FOR 1ST TIMERS…

More pros get their start on the PW50. Features like adjustable throttle and fully automatic transmission ensure your child’s first riding experience will be all smiles.

One of the industry’s best-selling mini-bikes, the PW50 is a fantastic entry-level bike designed to help young riders learn the ropes at an affordable price.

///Engine

Air-cooled, 49cc, reed-valve, 2-stroke single is mildly tuned to deliver predictable power that gently eases the new rider up the off-road learning curve.

///Rider Confidence

Class-lowest 485mm (19.1″) seat height creates a handling-enhancing low centre of gravity and allows most riders to put both feet on the ground for added confidence.

2017 Yamaha PW50 www.Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

•Fully Automatic Transmission
Fully automatic transmission means no shifting required; the PW50 is a twist-and-go package.
•Entry-Level Two-Stroke Motor
Gutsy 49cc two-stroke is built to thrill without intimidating beginners.
•Ultra-Low Seat Height
A seat only 18.7 inches high makes the PW50 the ideal choice for the littlest rider in the group.
•Adjustable Restrictor
An adjustable throttle stop screw lets the adult in charge gradually increase speed as skills improve.
•Low Maintenance Requirements
Shaft final drive means no chain maintenance, while Yamaha’s exclusive autolube oil injection system eliminates the need for fuel/oil premixing.
