Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of modest experience, including those transitioning from smaller scooters, thanks to the automatic transmission and manageable power delivery.
PurposeDesigned as a practical maxi-scooter for daily commuting with enough range and comfort for occasional longer trips.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and 199kg dry weight make it manageable for most adult riders, though the bulk is noticeable at low speeds and when maneuvering.
CharacterA relaxed, utilitarian machine that prioritizes ease of use and everyday practicality over performance or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders seeking sport-bike acceleration, aggressive cornering capability, or any off-road use.

2009 Aprilia Atlantic 500 Sprint Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Aprilia Atlantic 500 Sprint, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
