Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginners and learner riders, including those on a moped or restricted license, thanks to its small 50cc engine and automatic transmission.
PurposeDesigned as a basic, low-powered commuter scooter for short urban trips rather than speed or distance.
Rider FitVery light and low seat height make it easy to manage for smaller or less experienced riders, with minimal physical effort required.
CharacterA simple, practical everyday runabout with modest performance, valued more for convenience and low running costs than excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders seeking highway speeds, long-distance touring, off-road capability, or carrying a passenger comfortably.

2011 Kreidler RMC-E 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Kreidler RMC-E 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
