Best ForThis is an entry-level machine best suited to beginners or new riders building basic skills and confidence.
PurposeIt's designed as a budget-friendly commuter and learner sportbike-styled runabout rather than a genuine performance machine.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe bike has a simple, unintimidating personality with modest low-displacement single-cylinder power delivery and no pretensions of speed.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suited for experienced riders seeking real highway performance, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2014 Keeway RK III 150S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Keeway RK III 150S, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
