If you call the label Yamaha, you can remember a lot. These letters are found on musical instruments, they are seen on power tools and not only. And what about cars? Many will say - a good audio system. We will not argue, but recall that a sufficient number of mopeds cut across the roads of Russia, on many of which you can see these letters. It is about one of them - Yamaha Aerox - that will be our brief review.
So, let's recall what a moped is - a compact two-wheeled vehicle, for one (rarely two) riders, with a small engine, but very convenient in city traffic jams. It is easy for the owner of such an iron horse to drive into any, even the narrowest, lumen, in the stream of other machines.
History
The brand first appeared in the 19th century. Like many other things in this world, the name comes from the name of the founder - Japanese. For a long time, this brand was known only in Japan. In the mid-20th century, Europe also recognized this brand. Around the 1960s, a branch called Yamaha Motors separated from the main company. Its products are widely known both in Japan and abroad. These are helicopters, yachts, motorcycles, motors and, of course, mopeds, the bright representative of which is the Yamaha Aerox scooter.
Description
This version, like other scooters from the brand, has a sporty appearance, typical for the Japanese fairings, two-stroke gasoline engine, 50 cc. see, and disc brakes on both wheels. In 2013, the plant released a new version, which is only 700 mm wide, almost 2 meters long and a little more than a meter high. The seat height is 830 mm. A fuel tank of 7 liters, 3 hp, liquid cooling, the price is about 3-4 thousand. e. - it is not surprising that with such modest parameters, the model found its consumer.
In continuation of the topic, it should be noted that Yamaha Aerox as such is not a vehicle for car inspection. Certain traffic rules must, of course, be observed, but driver’s rights are unlikely to be asked. While the owner of the elder brother of a moped - a motorcycle - may be interested in certain circumstances, representatives of the traffic police. The first version of the Yamaha Aerox left the factory back in 2002, but nevertheless, the success of the model is confirmed by information about the modification in 2013, which will not be the last.
The calling card of the Japanese can be called a multifunctional ignition switch. The key allows you to not only give contact, but also, for example, open the trunk. To do this, simply turn the key to the left. All devices are in place, there are practically no addiction problems if you used to ride scooters before. Well-designed dynamics for urban conditions both during acceleration and during braking. The machine will not deliver any surprises, when moving along the road, however, the clearance is such that, if desired, you can "jump" on the curbs, if necessary.
Reviews
If we talk about reviews of this scooter, many recommend investing in a little tuning to remove all factory restrictions. People of high stature on a moped may be somewhat uncomfortable - there is very little space under the knees in front, and the saddle profile will not allow to move a little back. Much is said about driving on our Russian roads on the Yamaha Aerox. Reviews, on the one hand, indicate a good suspension, but on the other hand, any unevenness is clearly felt by the scooter driver.
Some say that a high landing creates problems when you stop - your legs have to stretch. Also separately noted is the rear seat, which can only be used on short trips. Under a thin layer of soft plastic, the neck of the gas tank is felt. Mirrors are also noted - on the one hand, they do not shake when driving, but on the other hand, with some sharp rearrangements, the viewing angle is not enough.
Conclusion
The long history of the Yamaha Aerox scooter relates it to the classic models. This is largely due to the fact that the Japanese will not cut a chicken that lays golden eggs. But at the same time, this largely relates to the design of the scooter, between the changes of which a considerable time passes. And this in some cases negatively affects the sales of this vehicle.
