2011 Yamaha PW50 (2-Stroke)

One of the industry’s best-selling mini bikes, the 2011 Yamaha PW50 is a fantastic entry-level bike to help young riders learn the ropes at an affordable price.

Introduce your little ones to the fun and excitement of off road riding, with the legendary PW50.

In fact, this lightweight, easy-riding bike is one of the industry’s best-selling minis. An air-cooled, 49cc, 2-stroke engine gives you single-speed power that’s super reliable and easy to control. Just gas it and go. A removable, power-limiting exhaust restrictor allows parents or adult supervisors to increase power as a rider’s skill level improves. When learning is this much fun, they’ll really apply themselves! And check out the value pricing too!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Adult supervision and proper protective riding gear, including a helmet, are a must when a youngster is operating a PW50.
