Rider Profile

Best ForThis moped is suited to complete beginners and learner riders, including those on a restricted or moped-class license.
PurposeIt's designed purely for short, low-speed trips around town such as commuting to school, work, or local errands.
Rider FitThe low seat height and lightweight 91 kg build make it very easy and unintimidating for smaller or less experienced riders to handle.
CharacterIt's a practical, no-frills utilitarian moped with a stowage bin and luggage rack rather than any sporty or adventurous pretensions.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring, off-road capability, or carrying a passenger comfortably.

2012 Kreidler Hiker 50 DD Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 850mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2012 Kreidler Hiker 50 DD, 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.
