Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level 50cc scooter suited to beginners, learners, and anyone needing a simple, low-stakes runabout rather than an experienced rider seeking performance.
PurposeIt's built for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands rather than any kind of speed or distance-oriented riding.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and lightweight scooter chassis make it accessible to riders of most sizes, including smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has the character of a practical, no-fuss city scooter with modest two-stroke performance and easy automatic operation.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, off-road capability, or any real cornering thrills.

2012 Aprilia Scarabeo 50 Street Net 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 2012 Aprilia Scarabeo 50 Street Net, 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.
