Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginner and license-restricted riders thanks to its automatic transmission and modest 250cc output, though this cargo-oriented scooter model name suggests it may actually be a utility/cargo variant rather than a typical sport scooter.
PurposeDesigned primarily for urban commuting and light utility hauling rather than performance or long-distance travel.
Rider FitThe 820mm seat height and 166kg dry weight make it manageable for most adult riders, though its cargo-focused build may feel bulkier at low speeds than a standard scooter.
CharacterA practical, no-frills automatic scooter that prioritizes ease of use, low maintenance, and everyday reliability over excitement or speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for riders seeking highway touring capability, spirited cornering, or off-road versatility.

2008 Cargobike AS 250 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 Cargobike AS 250, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward 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.
