Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to complete beginners or learner riders, including those on a moped licence, who need simple, low-risk transport.
PurposeDesigned purely for short urban hops, errands, and commuting at low speeds rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitVery light and low seat height make it easy to manage for smaller or less physically confident riders.
CharacterA humble, economical 50cc twist-and-go scooter that prioritises accessibility and low running costs over excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for anyone wanting motorway riding, a passenger, or spirited, fast-paced journeys.

2016 Lexmoto Scout 49 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Lexmoto Scout 49, with a moderate knee angle of around 90 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.
