Rider Profile

Best ForThis scooter suits complete beginners and casual riders who want simple, low-stress transportation without a manual gearbox to worry about.
PurposeIt's built for short urban hops, commuting, and errands rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitThe low seat height and light weight make it easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength, including smaller or less experienced riders.
CharacterIt has a practical, unassuming personality focused on convenience, fuel economy, and easy stop-and-go city use rather than excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the machine for highway touring, carrying a passenger long distances, or anyone seeking speed and performance.

2016 Kymco Super 8 150R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 787mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Kymco Super 8 150R, 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.
