Rider Profile

Best ForThis scooter suits new or casual riders who want simple, low-stress electric transportation without dealing with gears or a clutch.
PurposeIt's built as an economical, zero-emission urban commuter for short trips around town rather than for speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitA low seat height and light overall weight make it easy for riders of most sizes, including shorter riders, to handle confidently.
CharacterIt has a quiet, practical, no-fuss personality focused on efficient regenerative braking and simple electric operation over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not a good fit for riders wanting highway speeds, long-range touring, or any kind of off-road capability.

2011 Current Motor Company CMC Economy Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 686mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Current Motor Company CMC Economy, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
