Rental overview
The Yamaha TMAX 560 is the legendary maxi-scooter with a 562cc engine and around 48 hp. It is the most powerful scooter in our fleet: strong acceleration, effortless highway pace and dynamics close to a real motorcycle.
A frame chassis, quality brakes and precise steering make the TMAX a favourite of experienced riders: it takes corners cleanly and is stable in the wet and at speed. A comfortable seat and a big 15 L tank let you ride for a long time. Renting needs experience and a motorcycle licence: the bike is heavy and fast.

How it rides in Phuket
The TMAX 560 is a motorcycle in a scooter body: 48 hp, an automatic and 220 kg. On the highway it is calm and stable, overtakes instantly and holds its line on winding roads better than any maxi scooter. The 15 L tank is the biggest in the fleet.
For experienced riders it is a joy, for others a responsibility: it is heavy in Patong traffic and needs room when parking. A license with an open category A and real motorcycle experience are mandatory.
