Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders with basic scooter or automatic-transmission experience, no advanced skill required.
PurposeA large-frame maxi-scooter built for comfortable commuting and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitThe 780mm seat height and 214.6kg weight make it manageable for average-height riders but noticeable at low speed for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterA practical, relaxed, and comfort-oriented machine with car-like automatic operation and confident highway stability.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking sharp handling, off-road capability, or genuine high-speed sport performance.

2010 Kymco Xciting 500 Ri 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 2010 Kymco Xciting 500 Ri, 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.
