Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for absolute beginners or license holders restricted to small-displacement mopeds, requiring virtually no prior riding skill.
PurposeDesigned purely for short, low-speed urban errands and commuting rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitIts light weight and low seat height make it easy for riders of almost any size or strength to manage at a stop or in tight spaces.
CharacterA simple, unpretentious little runabout that favors easy, carefree city puttering over any hint of excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot for anyone wanting real speed, highway capability, passenger comfort, or any off-road ability.

2012 Lambretta DUE 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Lambretta DUE 50, 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.
