Best ForThis is an entry-level machine well suited to brand new riders or those wanting simple, low-stakes transportation.
PurposeDesigned purely for light urban commuting and short errands rather than performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light weight, and small frame make it accessible and easy to manage for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA humble, no-frills small-capacity scooter that prioritizes practicality, fuel economy, and ease of use over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for anyone seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

2011 Dafra Zig Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Dafra Zig, 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.
