Rider Profile

Best For	This is a friendly, low-stakes scooter well suited to beginners and casual riders comfortable with automatic twist-and-go operation.
Purpose	It is built primarily for urban and suburban commuting, running errands, and short-to-medium trips rather than performance riding.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and light-to-moderate dry weight make it manageable for riders of most sizes, including shorter or less experienced riders.
Character	It behaves as a practical, unpretentious commuter with modest power, easy handling, and enough windscreen protection for everyday comfort.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right choice for riders wanting highway-blitzing speed, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 739mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Linhai Aeolus 260, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 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.
