PurposeIt's designed purely for short, low-speed urban trips like commuting to school or work within a limited-speed moped category.
Rider FitVery light and compact at under 100 kg, it's easy to handle, lift, and maneuver even for smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a simple, unpretentious commuter personality wrapped in sporty scooter styling, prioritizing practicality over performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders wanting real speed, highway travel, passenger carrying, or any touring or off-road ambitions.

2013 Kreidler Galactica 2.0 RC 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2013 Kreidler Galactica 2.0 RC 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
