Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of nearly any experience level, including those upgrading from smaller scooters, thanks to its automatic transmission and manageable performance.
PurposeDesigned primarily as a sporty, maxi-style urban commuter that can also handle occasional longer rides.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to riders of average and smaller stature without being intimidating.
CharacterA stylish, sport-tinged scooter with maxi-scooter road manners, offering decent stability and a confident, sporty riding position rather than outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suited for off-road use, high-speed touring, or riders seeking strong outright acceleration or track-level performance.

2009 Gilera Nexus 300 Simoncelli Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Gilera Nexus 300 Simoncelli, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
