Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience, since the instant electric torque delivers strong acceleration that can surprise newcomers.
PurposeDesigned as an urban-focused electric sportbike that blends brisk performance with zero-emission commuting and spirited backroad riding.
Rider FitThe 800mm seat height and 190kg weight make it manageable for most adult riders, with a compact sporty stance that favors agility over long-haul comfort.
CharacterA quiet, torque-rich electric sport machine that rewards confident throttle use and offers instant, linear power delivery unlike a traditional combustion sportbike.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for long-distance touring or off-road use, given its limited range, street-oriented tires, and sport-focused suspension travel.

2016 Bultaco Rapitan Sport 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 Sport, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
