Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for beginners or those returning to riding after a long break, thanks to its low power and light weight.
PurposeBuilt as a fun, small-displacement cruiser-styled mini bike for casual cruising and short hops rather than serious transportation.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it very manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA quirky, stylish, small-capacity cruiser that trades performance for charm, simplicity, and easy handling.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for riders wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring, or off-road capability.

2015 California Scooter Babydoll Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 686mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 California Scooter Babydoll, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright 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.
