Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for intermediate riders comfortable with instant electric torque delivery rather than a revving powerband.
PurposeDesigned as an urban and suburban naked commuter that also rewards playful cornering thanks to instant torque and a light-feeling chassis.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to riders of average build without excessive strain.
CharacterSilent, torquey, and immediate, this electric naked delivers a modern, low-maintenance riding experience with strong low-end punch.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for long-distance touring or off-road use given its limited range, street tires, and road-focused suspension.

2016 Bultaco Rapitan 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 Bultaco Rapitan, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
