Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a utility cargo moped suited to riders of any experience level, including beginners, since it is slow and simple to operate.
PurposeIt is built purely for light-duty local cargo hauling and deliveries rather than any kind of recreational or performance riding.
Rider FitThe low 45 km/h top speed, twin front wheels, and cargo plane make it very stable and physically undemanding to ride, though the load-carrying nature requires some care when loading and maneuvering at low speed.
CharacterA no-nonsense, load-hauling three-wheeled work moped with a tiny 50cc engine, designed for reliability and utility over excitement.
Not Ideal ForThis is not for riders wanting speed, highway travel, passenger carrying, or any kind of sporty or off-road riding.

2013 MGB Transport Moped Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 MGB Transport Moped, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning 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.
