Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for absolute beginners or young riders taking their first steps on two wheels, not experienced motorcyclists.
PurposeIt's built as a low-powered, low-speed runabout or learner moped rather than a serious performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light weight make it very manageable for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA humble, unassuming little all-rounder that prioritizes simplicity and approachability over excitement or capability.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger, or anyone seeking real speed or off-road performance.

2016 Hanway Raw 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 720mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Hanway Raw 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
