Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to complete beginners and new riders, including those on a moped or learner license, due to its tiny 50cc two-stroke engine and automatic transmission.
PurposeDesigned purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands around town rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitVery low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterA simple, unintimidating, low-maintenance scooter that prioritizes easy operation and city practicality over excitement or speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real acceleration and power.

2012 Kymco Like 50 2T 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 2012 Kymco Like 50 2T, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
