Yamaha Ttr50

The TT-R50E is a 49 cc air-cooled, 4-stroke trail mini-bike from Yamaha designed primarily for young and beginner riders. Its simplified 3-speed semi-automatic transmission (no clutch lever) makes it accessible for new riders to learn shifting without complicated controls.

The TT-R50E features a 49–50 cc displacement engine (49 cc in many markets), single-cylinder, SOHC, two-valves, paired with a constant-mesh 3-speed semi-automatic transmission (automatic clutch) and chain final drive.

The seat height is approximately 21.9 inches (≈ 556 mm) which helps smaller riders reach the ground more easily, and the wet weight is around 128 lb for recent models.

The TT-R50E is built as a beginner trail bike rather than a highway or large dual-sport machine, it uses knobby tires, 10-inch wheels (2.50-10), drum brakes front and rear, and has short travel suspension suited for light off-road/single-track rather than heavy trail or road use.

Yes, the TT-R50E uses a simple 4-stroke engine (no mixing of fuel and oil), minimal electronics, and basic drum brakes which makes maintenance straightforward. New riders (or their guardians) should check the chain tension, tire condition, proper oil level, and that the throttle stop/restrictor (if engaged) is working correctly.

With its manageable size, automatic clutch, gentle power delivery and key-controlled ignition (in some markets), the TT-R50E offers a safe introduction to motorcycling. Reviewers note it brings fun and reliability for kids learning to ride while giving parents confidence.

Yes, its low engine displacement and small wheel size limit performance and suitability for full-sized adult use or high-speed road travel. Also, due to its off-road/trail bias, features like suspension travel and brakes are basic compared to larger bikes, so expect more modest capability.

Many versions of the TT-R50E include an electric start button, which eliminates the need for kick-starting, this makes it considerably easier for young or beginner riders to start the bike quickly and enhances safety and convenience.

The fuel tank holds about 0.8 gallons (≈3.0 litres) of fuel, meaning the TT-R50E is designed for short trail sessions rather than long touring range; new riders should plan accordingly and keep fuel stops or refuels in mind.

The TT-R50E includes beginner-friendly features such as a keyed ignition (so the bike can’t be started by the rider alone in some cases), a throttle stop (reducing maximum speed for training), and simple reliable mechanical systems, making it a solid choice for first-time riders or youth learning the basics.
