Rider Profile

PurposeBuilt primarily as an urban commuter with sporty styling, offering enough performance for short highway stints but best suited to city and suburban riding.
Rider FitA relatively light and low-seated scooter that's easy to handle at a stop and maneuver through traffic, with minimal physical demands on the rider.
CharacterBlends everyday scooter practicality with a sportier V4 engine note and alloy wheel styling, giving it a slightly more engaging feel than typical commuter scooters.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting serious touring range, high-speed highway cruising, or any off-road capability.

2013 Aprilia SportCity 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 813mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Aprilia SportCity 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.
