Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to beginners and casual riders, including those coming from small automatic scooters, since a small-capacity automatic transmission requires minimal mechanical skill.
Purpose	Designed primarily as an urban commuter scooter for short hops through traffic rather than performance or long-distance riding.
Rider Fit	Its low seat height and light overall weight make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders, including at a standstill.
Character	A practical, unpretentious city runabout with a stylish retro-inspired look, prioritizing ease of use over excitement.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders wanting highway touring capability, high-speed performance, or any off-road use.

Units

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

Feet:

At 818mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2006 Benelli Velvet 125, 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.
