Rider Profile

Best For	This moped is designed for absolute beginners, learners, or young riders taking their first steps on two wheels.
Purpose	It serves as a low-powered runabout for very short local trips such as commuting a few streets or running quick errands.
Rider Fit	Its light weight and low seat height make it accessible to smaller or less physically strong riders with minimal effort required to handle it.
Character	It suits a cautious, practical rider who values simplicity, low running costs, and easy legal access over performance or excitement.
Not Ideal For	It is not suitable for anyone wanting real speed, highway travel, passenger carrying, or any kind of off-road capability.

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 735mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 AJS Firefox 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
