Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a learner-legal 50cc moped-class machine, ideal for beginners, young riders, or those restricted to small-capacity licenses.
PurposeDesigned as a lightweight, supermoto-styled runabout for short urban trips rather than genuine performance riding.
Rider FitIts very low weight and compact seat height make it accessible and unintimidating for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt mimics the sharp, playful looks and stance of a full-size supermoto but delivers only mild, scooter-like performance.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger, or any rider seeking real speed or off-road capability.

2015 Gilera SMT 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 865mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2015 Gilera SMT 50, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
