Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a beginner-friendly moped-class scooter that anyone, including new riders, can operate with minimal training.
PurposeIt's built purely for short-hop urban commuting and running errands around town, not for speed or distance.
Rider FitIts light weight and low seat height make it very easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA humble, economical little runabout that prioritizes practicality, fuel efficiency, and effortless maneuverability over performance.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right choice for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring, or carrying a passenger in comfort.

2009 MBK MachG Air Cooled 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 2009 MBK MachG Air Cooled, 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.
