Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to new and casual riders, including those on a moped or restricted-license scooter permit, thanks to its small 50cc capacity and automatic transmission.
PurposeDesigned as a sporty urban commuter scooter, blending everyday practicality with racier styling and componentry like upside-down forks and dual disc brakes.
Rider FitThe low-ish seat height and lightweight dry weight around 103 kg make it easy to handle and paddle at a stop for riders of most sizes.
CharacterIt has a sporty, aggressive scooter personality with performance-oriented cycle parts that punch above its 50cc class in cornering feel.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for highway commuting, long-distance touring, or riders needing real passenger comfort and cargo capacity.

2008 Derbi GP1 50 Racing Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2008 Derbi GP1 50 Racing, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
