Rider Profile

Best ForThis scooter is ideal for beginners or complete newcomers to powered two-wheelers thanks to its simple twist-and-go automatic operation.
PurposeIt is built for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to manage for riders of almost any size or experience level, including smaller or less confident riders.
CharacterIt has a practical, unpretentious character focused on convenience, fuel efficiency, and easy storage rather than excitement or style.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for riders seeking highway speeds, motorway touring, off-road capability, or carrying a passenger any real distance.

2017 Kymco Like 125 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Kymco Like 125, 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.
