Rider FitExtremely light and low-slung, making it easy to handle for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA humble, fuel-sipping city scooter that prioritizes practicality, ease of use, and low running costs over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real performance.

2017 Honda Vision 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Honda Vision 50, 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.
