Rider Profile

Best ForThis scooter suits new and casual riders looking for simple, low-stress transportation without the demands of a manual gearbox.
PurposeIt's built primarily for short urban commutes and errands rather than performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and automatic transmission make it accessible and easy to manage for riders of most sizes and experience levels.
CharacterA practical, unassuming city scooter with modest power that prioritizes convenience and maneuverability over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for riders seeking highway touring capability, passenger comfort on long trips, or any kind of off-road use.

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 2014 Benelli Velvet 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.
