Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for beginners and learner riders, including those new to two wheels, given the small 50cc class and automatic transmission.
PurposeDesigned as a nimble, low-powered urban commuter scooter for short trips and city errands rather than performance riding.
Rider FitVery lightweight and low seat height make it accessible to riders of smaller stature or limited strength.
CharacterA sporty-styled 50cc scooter that offers peppy, playful city runabout character rather than genuine speed or power.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or any off-road use.

2007 Malaguti Phantom 50 Racing Life 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 2007 Malaguti Phantom 50 Racing Life, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
