Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for new and experienced riders alike, as the automatic transmission and manageable weight make it approachable for everyday use.
PurposeDesigned primarily as an urban and suburban commuter scooter that also copes with occasional short highway stints.
Rider FitA seat height of 785mm and moderate 169kg dry weight make it easy to handle for riders of average height and build.
CharacterA practical, maxi-scooter with big-wheel stability and enough mid-range torque to feel relaxed rather than sporty around town.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking high-speed touring, off-road capability, or genuine sport-bike performance.

2009 Aprilia Scarabeo 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Aprilia Scarabeo 250, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
