Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal first vehicle for absolute beginners or commuters who have never ridden before, typically usable on a moped license in many regions.
PurposeBuilt purely for short, low-speed urban commuting and errands rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitExtremely light and low-slung, it demands very little physical strength or experience to control at a standstill or in traffic.
CharacterA practical, economical, and unintimidating little scooter that prioritizes ease of use and fuel efficiency over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance travel, carrying a passenger comfortably, or any kind of sporty or off-road riding.

2015 Honda NSC50R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Honda NSC50R, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 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.
