Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for absolute beginners or those wanting simple, low-stakes transportation with minimal mechanical intimidation.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting, errands, and light city riding rather than any performance or distance goals.
Rider FitIts low seat height and featherweight 88kg dry weight make it extremely easy to handle for riders of any size or strength, including smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterA friendly, unintimidating little scooter that prioritizes practicality, easy maneuvering, and low running costs over excitement or speed.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for highway commuting, touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking a thrill from acceleration or power.

2013 Hyosung Prima Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 737mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Hyosung Prima, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
