Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for absolute beginners or younger riders taking their first steps on a moped-class scooter.
PurposeBuilt purely for short, low-speed urban errands rather than any kind of performance or long-distance riding.
Rider FitLow seat height and light, simple controls make it accessible and unintimidating for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA humble, economical 50cc commuter scooter with modest performance and easygoing, forgiving manners.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real speed or excitement.

2008 MBK Flipper Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 MBK Flipper, 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.
