Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an easy, low-stakes machine well suited to new riders or anyone who just wants simple, stress-free transportation.
PurposeIt's built for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and lightweight 120 kg chassis make it very manageable for riders of most sizes and confidence levels.
CharacterIt has a friendly, practical, no-drama personality focused on convenience with automatic CVT transmission and underseat storage.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for riders wanting highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2012 Kymco City 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 Kymco City 125, 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.
