Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for new and experienced riders alike thanks to its single-speed automatic-style electric drive and gentle power delivery.
PurposeDesigned as a premium, zero-emission urban commuter scooter rather than a performance or adventure machine.
Rider FitA tall-ish seat height and moderate weight for a scooter mean shorter riders may need to adapt, but low-speed handling remains manageable.
CharacterA refined, quiet, torque-instant electric scooter that prioritizes smooth city cruising and premium build quality over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking highway touring range, high top speed, or any off-road capability.

2010 Hesketh HZE Vectrix Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 787mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Hesketh HZE Vectrix, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
