Rider Profile

Best For	This is best suited to beginners, casual riders, or experienced riders looking for a fun, low-stakes second bike.
Purpose	It's designed for short, playful rides around town, backyard fun, and being an eye-catching novelty bike rather than serious transportation.
Rider Fit	Its tiny frame and very low seat height make it extremely accessible to shorter or smaller riders, though larger riders may feel cramped.
Character	The Monkey has a charming, go-kart-like personality that prioritizes grins and style over outright performance.
Not Ideal For	It's not for riders who need highway speeds, long-distance touring capability, or serious off-road performance.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2004 Honda Monkey 50, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
