Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for absolute beginners or casual riders who just want simple, low-stakes fun, since its tiny engine and light weight make it very forgiving.
PurposeBuilt as a fun, minimalist runabout for short hops and leisurely cruising rather than any kind of serious performance riding.
Rider FitIts very low seat height and featherweight chassis make it extremely easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength, including smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA quirky, playful mini-bike with a mono-shock-style rear and small wheels that rewards a relaxed, cheerful riding style rather than aggressive riding.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not suited to riders wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or any genuine off-road capability.

2015 Honda Ape 100 Type D 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 2015 Honda Ape 100 Type D, 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.
