Yamaha EC-03
All contacts reached
The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda EM1 e: has a 740 mm seat; the Yamaha EC-03 sits at 745 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 74 cm for the Honda EM1 e: and 75 cm for the Yamaha EC-03.
That makes the Honda EM1 e: the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Yamaha EC-03 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
