Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for new and casual riders thanks to its automatic transmission, low seat height, and gentle power delivery.
PurposeDesigned primarily as an urban commuter scooter for short trips, errands, and easy city navigation.
Rider FitVery approachable for riders of most sizes and strength levels due to its low seat height and light overall weight.
CharacterA practical, no-fuss automatic scooter that prioritizes ease of use and everyday convenience over performance or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway touring, spirited cornering, or off-road use given its modest power and small-capacity single-cylinder engine.

2016 Benelli Macis 150 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Benelli Macis 150, 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.
