Rider Profile

Best ForThis scooter is ideal for absolute beginners or anyone wanting simple, low-stakes transportation with minimal learning curve.
PurposeIt's built purely for short urban hops like commuting, running errands, and weaving through city traffic efficiently.
Rider FitIts tiny 71 kg dry weight and low 703 mm seat height make it exceptionally easy to handle for riders of nearly any size or strength.
CharacterThis is a humble, practical, no-frills city runabout with charm rather than a machine built to thrill.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for highway travel, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone craving speed or long-distance touring capability.

Character map is an editorial estimate based on this bike's specifications, not a lab-tested measurement.

2017 Honda Today Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 703mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda Today, 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.
