Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a tiny, low-powered electric micro-scooter with a top speed of only 12 mph, essentially a child's or novice runabout rather than a machine for experienced motorcyclists.
PurposeDesigned for short, slow trips around a yard, driveway, or very quiet neighborhood streets rather than any real transportation role.
Rider FitExtremely light at around 42 kg with a low, adjustable seat height, making it easy for smaller or younger riders to handle and balance.
CharacterA playful, minimal electric runabout with a friendly retro scooter look, prioritizing simplicity and low weight over any performance ambitions.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for anyone needing real-world commuting speed, highway use, touring, passengers, or off-road capability.

2009 MZ Charly Electroroller Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 MZ Charly Electroroller, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright 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.
