Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an ideal machine for new or novice riders, including teenagers on a learner permit, thanks to its tiny engine and automatic CVT gearbox.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low at 87 kg dry with a 750 mm seat height, making it easy for riders of almost any size or strength to handle and park.
CharacterA charming, retro-styled 50cc city scooter that prioritizes simplicity, low running costs, and effortless maneuverability over speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real acceleration or power.

2013 Lambretta LT 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 750mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Lambretta LT 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
