Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience on larger, heavier two-wheelers, since the AK 550's size and weight demand confident low-speed handling.
PurposeBuilt as a maxi-scooter that blends effortless commuting with genuine long-distance capability, offering car-like performance without the complexity of a manual gearbox.
Rider FitA tall seat height and substantial curb weight mean shorter or less experienced riders may find it a handful at a stop, though the low center of gravity helps once moving.
CharacterA premium, sport-oriented maxi-scooter character that rewards confident throttle use with strong midrange torque and stable high-speed manners.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for off-road exploration or for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable machine for tight city alleys.

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

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Kymco AK 550, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 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.
