Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to new or casual riders, including those on a moped or restricted licence, given its small 50cc two-stroke engine and lightweight build.
PurposeDesigned purely as a nimble, low-cost urban commuter for short hops around town rather than any performance or adventure role.
Rider FitVery light at 78 kg dry with a low 760 mm seat height, making it easy to handle, flat-foot, and manoeuvre in traffic or tight parking spots.
CharacterA simple, sprightly little scooter with classic small-wheel agility, an automatic CVT for effortless riding, and enough retro charm for everyday errands.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for riders wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, a passenger, or any off-road capability.

2011 Malaguti DVD 50 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 2011 Malaguti DVD 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.
