2027 Yamaha PW50

The 2027 Yamaha PW50 is the bike countless riders started on: a 49cc two-stroke, a fully automatic transmission, an adjustable throttle and an 18.7-inch seat.

Who the PW50 is for

The littlest riders. The low seat lets most kids put both feet down.

What stands out

• 18.7-inch seat height. Both feet on the ground for most kids.
• Fully automatic single-speed. Twist and go.
• 49cc two-stroke. Gentle, predictable power.
• Adjustable throttle. Parents control the pace.

PW50 vs. TT-R50E

The TT-R50E has a four-stroke engine, electric start and a three-speed with automatic clutch, so it teaches shifting. The PW50 is simpler and lower.

Common questions

How do I know it’s the right size?

Your rider should be able to reach the ground comfortably and handle the bike’s weight. It’s the single biggest factor in confidence. Bring them in and have them sit on a few; it takes five minutes and saves guessing.

What gear does my rider need?

A properly fitted helmet, goggles, gloves, boots and protective clothing, plus supervision. We can help fit gear in the store.

Can the PW50 be ridden on the street?

No. It’s built for off-road use only, with no lights, mirrors or street certification. Plan on private land, a track or a designated off-road area, and a helmet and proper riding gear every time.
