Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly small-displacement machine, well suited to new riders building confidence and skill.
PurposeIt's designed as an entry-level sport-styled commuter rather than a genuine performance machine, best suited to short trips and learning the ropes.
Rider FitThe low 800mm seat height and light dry weight of 128kg make it easy to handle for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a sporty look and nimble low-speed manners but delivers modest, unhurried performance from its small air-cooled single.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for experienced riders seeking real speed, sustained highway touring comfort, or any serious off-road capability.

2013 Keeway RK III 150 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 2013 Keeway RK III 150, 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.
