Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or younger riders taking their first steps on a motorized two-wheeler, typically under a moped or learner-permit license class.
PurposeBuilt purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands around town rather than any kind of performance or distance riding.
Rider FitVery lightweight and low seat height make it easy for shorter or less experienced riders to handle and maneuver at a stop.
CharacterA fun, nimble little two-stroke scooter with sporty 10-inch wheels and wide tires that give it a go-kart-like feel in tight city streets.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long touring trips, carrying a passenger comfortably, or any rider seeking real speed or power.

2012 MBK Booster Spirit 50 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 768mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 MBK Booster Spirit 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 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.
