Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a friendly, low-intimidation machine well suited to beginners or riders who want a relaxed, stylized cruiser experience rather than outright performance.
PurposeIt's built for cruising around town in a mini-chopper style with plenty of visual flair, not for speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it very easy to handle for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterIt has a classic custom cruiser attitude with a laid-back single-cylinder thump, small wheels, and old-school styling cues.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway touring, aggressive cornering, off-road use, or riders seeking real acceleration and top speed.

2011 California Scooter Greaser 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 2011 California Scooter Greaser, 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.
