Rider Profile

Best ForThis 50cc automatic scooter is ideal for beginners or younger riders, including those on a moped-class license, with no prior motorcycling experience required.
PurposeIt's built for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light dry weight make it easy to handle and manageable for smaller or less physically strong riders.
CharacterThe Phantom 50 Capirex suits a practical, style-conscious rider who wants sporty scooter looks without needing serious speed or power.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right machine for anyone wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or off-road capability.

2006 Malaguti Phantom 50 Capirex Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Malaguti Phantom 50 Capirex, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
