Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level 50cc scooter suited to complete beginners and learner-permit riders with no prior experience needed.
PurposeIt is designed purely for short urban commutes, errands, and light city runs rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height, light dry weight, and automatic CVT transmission make it easy and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterIt has a practical, unassuming, and economical character focused on simple, low-cost mobility rather than excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders seeking highway speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any off-road capability.

2016 Kymco DJ 50 S Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Kymco DJ 50 S, 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.
