Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for absolute beginners or even younger riders, thanks to its tiny displacement, low seat height, and utterly unintimidating power delivery.
PurposeBuilt for short hops, errands, and light urban commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitExtremely light and low, making it easy to manage at a stop or in tight spaces for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA charming, minimalist runabout with retro monkey-bike styling that prioritizes fun, simplicity, and everyday practicality over speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, or riders seeking any real straight-line performance or off-road capability.

2014 Honda Ape 100 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 715mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Honda Ape 100, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
